It effectively suppresses the TGF-β Smad pathway and reduces collagen deposition, alleviating fibrosis in a Bleomycin-induced mouse model. This compound also exhibits good oral bioavailability (F=69.5%) and microsomal stability.

Ajoene is a disulfide that has been found inA. sativumand has diverse biological activities, including antibacterial, anticancer, antiplatelet, and antioxidant properties.1,2,3,4It is active against Gram-positive (MICs = 5-160 µg/ml) and Gram-negative bacteria (MICs = 136-200 µg/ml), as well as yeasts (MICs = 10-20 µg/ml).1Ajoene is cytotoxic to mouse melanoma cells (IC50= 18 µM), as well as human colon, lung, mammary, and pancreatic cancer cells (IC50s = 7-41 µM).2It reduces tumor growth in a B16/BL6 mouse model of melanoma when administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg every other day and decreases the number of lung metastases when administered prior to tumor cell inoculation at doses ranging from 1-25 mg/kg. It inhibits ADP- or collagen-induced platelet aggregation in isolated baboon platelets when used at concentrations ranging from 75 to 150 µg/ml and in platelet-rich plasma isolated from baboons when administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg.3Ajoene (25 mg/kg) prevents thrombus formation on damaged arterial walls in heparinized pigs in anin situmodel of thrombogenesis.5It also reduces high-fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis, histopathological markers of liver damage, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) formation, and protein oxidation in a mouse model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).4 1.Naganawa, R., Iwata, N., Ishikawa, K., et al.Inhibition of microbial growth by ajoene, a sulfur-containing compound derived from garlicAppl.

Elastin Methacrylated (ElaMA) is a protein that can recruit and modulate innate immune cells, enhancing vascular formation at wound sites and thereby improving tissue regeneration. This compound attracts large numbers of neutrophils and key M2 macrophages to wounds, inducing their infiltration into hydrogels. It exhibits excellent immunomodulatory properties, promoting superior angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and dermal regeneration. When used in combination with the photoinitiator LAP (HY-44076), ElaMA self-assembles into fibrous hydrogels, targeting bioactive adhesion sites and providing intrinsic support and biodegradation for tissue cells. It is applicable in fields such as cell culture, bio 3D printing, and tissue engineering.
