- Product Overview:
Aucubin is an iridoid glycoside that has been found in E. ulmoides with diverse biological activities.{36752,36753} Aucubin (0.001-1 ?g/ml) dose-dependently inhibits the IgE-stimulated secretion of IL-6 and TNF-? by RBL-2H3 mast cells (IC50s = 0.19 and 0.1 ?g/ml, respectively).{36752} It reduces UVB-induced expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) in HS68 human foreskin fibroblasts by 57% when used at a concentration of 0.01 ?g/ml.{36753} Aucubin (0.01-1 ?g/ml) also dose-dependently reduces production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, a marker of lipid peroxidation. In a mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin (Item No. 13877), aucubin (5 mg/kg, i.p.) decreases the breathing frequency, increases lung dynamic compliance, alleviates parenchymal fibrotic changes, and reduces expression of TGF-?1 and ?-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA).{36754} Aucubin (5 mg/kg, i.p.) reduces blood glucose levels and lipid peroxidation in the liver and kidneys of rats with diabetes induced by streptozotocin (Item No. 13104).{36755} It also reduces the number of errors made in a Y-maze and enhances neuronal survival by approximately 7- and 4-fold, respectively, in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes.{36756}
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.
