- Product Overview:
Triptolide is a diterpenoid triepoxide that has been found in T. wilfordii and has diverse biological activities.{22058,57803,57804,57805} It inhibits dCTP pyrophosphatase 1 (Ki = 168 µM), an enzyme that prevents halogenated nucleotides from entering DNA synthesis.{22058} It reduces viability of A549, H1299, NCI H520, NCI H1650, and H1975 human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells when used at a concentration of 50 nM.{57803} Intranasal administration of liposomes containing triptolide (0.4 mg/kg) reduces tumor growth in a rat orthotopic model of lung cancer. Triptolide (0.2 mg/kg) reduces intestinal inflammation and prevents colon shortening in a mouse model of colitis induced by dextran sulfate (Item No. 23250).{57804} It also inhibits skin allograft rejection and increases graft survival time in mice when administered at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg per day post-transplantation.{57805}
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.
