Phytochemicals

Applications A metabolite of isoflavone derivatives. A derivative of Daidzin. Inhibitor. References Whalley, J.L., et al.: Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 8, 1569 (1998), Song, T., et al.: J. Agric. Food Chem., 47, 1607 (1999),

Applications Eurycomanone is known as a cytotoxic compound found in Eurycoma Longifolia Jack. Previous studies had noted its cytotoxic effects against various cancer cell lines. More recent research demonstrated the ability of Eurycomanone to suppress the expression of lung cancer cell tumor markers, prohibitin, annexin 1 and endoplasmic reticulum protein 28. Eurycomanone was shown to also exerts the ability to induce apoptosis through the up-regulation of p53 in human cervical carcinoma cells.

Applications p-Cymene is a naturally occurring organic compound that is known as an essential oil and is found in many plants. p-Cymene is also used in the synthesis of ruthenium and osmium complexes as a ligand. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Bennet, M.A., et al.: Inorganic Syntheses, 21, 74-78 (1982)

Applications Pentadecanoic acid is a saturated fatty acid. Pentadecanoic acid was utilized as a biomarker to examine for the intake of milk fat in relation to its metabolic risk factors. Pentadecanoic Acid that is also produced by certain plant species and acts as an toxic essential oil, which is known to exhibits potential anxiolytic, antinociceptive and antimicrobial properties.

Stability Air Sensitive Applications Levopimaric Acid is a major component of pine oleoresin. It is an abietane-type of diterpene resin acid and has antibacterial, cardiovascular, and antioxidant properties. References Kersten, P. J., et al.: J. Chem. Ecol., 32(12), 2679-85 (2006)

Applications An antioxidant natural product which inhibits the growth of human glioma xenografts in nude mice through suppressing VEGFR expression. Used for clinical treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, was demonstrated to have antiangiogenic activity, and be inhibitory against mice tumor growth by a few recent studies. Celastrol also has been shown to have the power to kill tumor cells and can work as an anticarcinogen. Celastrol is also a leptin sensitizer with the potential to reduce weight in obesity (see W499200).

Applications Cucurbitacin B is a tetracyclic triterpenoid, which can induce apoptosis in human hepatoma cells. It can also induce DNA damage and autophagy in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.In the wild, watermelons, cucumbers, and muskmelons produce bitter Cucurbitacins to defend against preditors. Humans have bred these fruits to eliminate these compounds thereby yielding fruits that are more appealing to our palate.
