- Product Overview:
20(R)-Ginsenoside Rh2 is a steroid glycoside originally isolated from P. ginseng and an isomer of 20(S)-ginsenoside Rh2 (Item No. 23390) that has diverse biological activities.{40332,42828,42829} It inhibits the replication of murine gammaherpes virus 68 (MHV-68; IC50 = 2.77 ?M) and the lytic replication of human gammaherpes virus in BC3 cells.{40332} 20(R)-Ginsenoside Rh2 reduces levels of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2; Item No. 14010), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and pro-matrix metalloproteinase-9 (pro-MMP-9) in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells.{42828} It also reduces ROS production and MMP-9 and MMP-2 activity in HaCat human keratinocytes. 20(R)-Ginsenoside Rh2 (4 mg/kg) induces tumor cell apoptosis and reduces tumor growth in an H22 hepatocellular carcinoma mouse xenograft model.{42829}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
