- Product Overview:
Imperatorin is a furanocoumarin that has been found in A. dahurica and has diverse biological activities, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.{47081,47082,47083} It decreases MCL-1 protein levels and increases mitochondrial membrane depolarization and apoptosis in doxorubicin-resistant HepG2 (R-HepG2) cells, an effect that can be reversed by overexpression of MCL-1.{47081} Imperatorin inhibits the growth of doxorubicin-resistant and -sensitive HepG2 cells in vitro (IC50s = 28.1 and 43.3 ?M, respectively) and reduces tumor growth in an R-HepG2 mouse xenograft model when administered at a dose of 50 mg/kg. Imperatorin inhibits LPS-induced increases in p38 MAPK, JNK, and I?B? phosphorylation, TNF-?, IL-6, and IL-1? protein levels, and nuclear localization of NF-?B p65 in RAW 264.7 macrophages.{47082} It scavenges 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH; Item No. 14805) and ABTS radicals (EC50s = 19.48 and 10.93 ?M, respectively).{47083} Imperatorin also has antibacterial, antiviral, and anticonvulsant activities.{47081,47082}
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.
