antifibrotic

Taxifolin (Dihydroquercetin) is a flavonoid in many plants such as Taxus chinensis, Siberian larch, Cedrus deodara and so on.

Aucubin (Rhinanthin) is an iridoid glycoside with anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-algesic as well as anti-tumor activities.

Colchicine is an orally active natural alkaloid that acts by inhibiting microtubule polymerization (IC50 = 3 nM) and as a competitive antagonist of the α3 glycine receptor. It possesses broad anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and antifibrotic activities, can inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation to prevent NSAID-induced small intestine injury, holds potential for gouty arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis research, and is commonly used to establish Alzheimer’s disease models.

4-aminobenzoic acid is an organic acid with UV-absorbing and antifibrotic properties. When exposed to light, 4-aminobenzoic acid absorbs UV light and releases excess energy through a photochemical reaction, which may cause DNA damage.4-aminobenzoic acid also increases oxygen uptake at the tissue level and may enhance monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity to promote serotonin degradation, which in excess may lead to fibrotic Changes.

Amygdalin (Laetrile) has antifibrotic, antitumor, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, amygdalin joint HSYA could inhibit the degeneration of the endplate chondrocytes derived from intervertebral discs of rats induced by IL-1beta and better than the single use of Amygdalin or HSYA. Amygdalin induces apoptotic cell death in human DU145 and LNCaP prostate cancer cells by caspase-3 activation through down-regulation of Bcl-2 and up-regulation of Bax.

Methyl hexadecanoate is an acaricidal compound found in green walnut hulls with anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic properties, inhibiting phagocytic activity and immune response.

Halofuginone specifically inhibits collagen type I gene expression and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) gene expression, which may result in the suppression of angiogenesis, tumor stromal cell development, and tumor cell growth. Halofuginone Hydrobromide is the hydrobromide salt of halofuginone, a semisynthetic quinazolinone alkaloid anticoccidial derived from the plant Dichroa febrifuga, with antifibrotic and potential antineoplastic activities. These effects appear to be due to halofuginone-mediated inhibition of the collagen type I and MMP-2 promoters. Collagen type I and MMP-2 play important roles in fibroproliferative diseases.

Armepavine (R-Armepavine) exerted both in vitro and in vivo antifibrotic effects in rats, with inhibition of NF-κB, JunD and C EBP pathways. It improves experimental autoimmune crescentic glomerulonephritis.

(-)-Taxifolin, the less active enantiomer of Taxifolin, demonstrates vital anti-tyrosinase activity and notable inhibition against collagenase [IC50 = 193.3 μM], and is valued as an essential natural compound with antifibrotic potential, acting as a capable free radical scavenger with antioxidant capacity.

Methyl palmitate (Standard) is the standard substance of Methyl palmitate, and it is applicable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and related research in biochemical experiments. Methyl hexadecanoate is an acaricidal compound found in green walnut hulls with anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic properties, inhibiting phagocytic activity and immune response.

(-)-Centrolobol has antifibrotic activity, it can significantly inhibit the proliferation of HSC-T6 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Centrolobol exhibits strong cytotoxic activity against KB cell line.

Manassantin B is a potent inhibitor of NF-κB activation by the suppression of transciptional activity of RelA p65 subunit of NF-κB. It also possesses anti-EBV lytic replication activity. Manassantin B inhibits interleukin-6-induced signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 activation in Hep3B cells, it has potential as a potent anti-inflammatory drug for use in pathological processes such as sepsis or acute lung injury. Manassantin B exerts antifibrotic activity in HSC-T6 cells, in part, via inhibition of cell proliferation and decrease of collagen production.

Stevia Powder, a natural sweetener, possesses antioxidant properties. It regulates antifibrotic pathways in cirrhotic rats, demonstrated by a reduction in hepatic stellate cells and decreased expression of matrix metalloproteinases MMP2 and MMP13. Furthermore, it increases the antifibrotic molecule Smad7, which helps prevent the elevation of serum necrosis and bile retention markers, thereby inhibiting the progression of liver fibrosis.
