a23187

Calcimycin (A-23187) is an ionophorous, polyether carboxylic antibiotic from Streptomyces chartreusensis. It binds and transports calcium and other divalent cations across membranes, uncouples oxidative phosphorylation, and inhibits ATPase of rat liver mitochondria. The substance is primarily used as a biochemical tool to study the role of divalent cations in various biological systems.

Calcimycin (A-23187) hemicalcium salt is an antibiotic and a unique divalent cation ionophore (like calcium and magnesium). It induces Ca2+-dependent cell death by increasing intracellular calcium concentration.

25R-Inokosterone exhibits potent inhibition against TNF-expression levels in A23187 plus phorbol-myrisrate acetate-induced RBL-2H3 cells. 25R-Inokosterone has excellent anti-atopy activity, thus 25R-Inokosterone could be used to a large range of functional anti-atopy cosmetics.

25S-Inokosterone exhibits potent inhibition against TNF-expression levels in A23187 plus phorbol-myrisrate acetate-induced RBL-2H3 cells. 25S-Inokosterone has excellent anti-atopy activity, thus 25S-Inokosterone could be used to a large range of functional anti-atopy cosmetics.

Saikogenin D possesses a dual effect: an inhibition of A23187-induced PGE2 production without a direct inhibition of cyclooxygenase activity; and an elevation of [Ca2+]i that is attributed to Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. Saikogenin D has immuno
