CAS 28254-53-7: Reynosin

Reynosin is a sesquiterpene lactone, which is a naturally occurring compound typically extracted from plants of the Asteraceae family. This plant-derived compound is recognized for its unique chemical structure, consisting of a 15-carbon skeleton, which contributes to its biological activity. Reynosin operates through the alkylation of cellular nucleophiles, particularly thiol groups, via the presence of an α-methylene-γ-lactone function. This mechanism is believed to interfere with various cellular pathways, leading to cytotoxic effects. Reynosin has garnered interest in scientific research due to its potential applications in the field of oncology. Its cytotoxic properties make it a valuable compound for studying cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis. Additionally, ongoing research is investigating its efficacy and selectivity in targeting cancer cells, as well as its potential synergistic effects when used in combination with other anticancer agents. Understanding the precise mechanisms of action of Reynosin could contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies in cancer treatment.

Reynosin protects the liver, reduces inflammation, and guards neuronal cells against dopamine damage by modulating protein expression.

Applications Reynosin is a sesquiterpene derived from Magnolia leaves which shows cytotoxic activity and production of melanin. References Choodej, S., et al.: Med Chem Res., 28, 857-862 (2019); Xie, Z., et al.: Chem Biodivers., 16, (2019)
