fibroblast growth factor

beta-Escin is a natural mixture of triterpenoid saponins isolated from horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) seeds, can be used as a vasoprotective anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous and anti-nociceptive agent.

Formononetin (Flavosil) is an O-methylated isoflavone and a phytoestrogen from the root of Astragalus membranaceus.

Ferulic Acid (Coniferic acid) is a highly abundant phenolic phytochemical and a type of organic compound found in the Ferula assafoetida L. or Ligusticum chuanxiong.It can be absorbed by the small intestine and excreted through the urine.

2,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (Gentisic acid) is an active metabolite of salicylic acid degradation with a broad spectrum of biological activity, such as anti-inflammatory, antirheumatic and antioxidant properties.

Ferulic acid sodium (Sodium ferulic), the sodium salt of ferulic acid, is a drug used in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and to prevent thrombosis.

Heparan sulfate is a natural product, a linear polysaccharide. Heparan sulfate occurs as a proteoglycan (HSPG) that is tightly attached to cell surface or extracellular matrix proteins.

Picroside I (6'-Cinnamoylcatalpol), a hepatoprotective agent, is reported to be antimicrobial and used against hepatitis B. It has antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities, it may be the valuable anti-invasive drug candidates for cancer therapy by suppressing Collagenases and Gelatinases. Picroside I can enhance basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)-, staurosporine- or dbc-mitogen-activated protein (MAP)-induced neurite outgrowth from PC12D cells.

Picropodophyllotoxin (AXL 1717) is a cyclolignan alkaloid found in the mayapple plant family (Podophyllum peltatum), and a small molecule inhibitor of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) with potential antineoplastic activity. Picropodophyllotoxin (AXL 1717) specifically inhibits the activity and downregulates the cellular expression of IGF1R without interfering with activities of other growth factor receptors, such as receptors for insulin, epidermal growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factor and mast stem cell growth factor (KIT). This agent shows potent activity in the suppression o f tumor cell proliferation and the induction of tumor cell apoptosis. IGF1R, a receptor tyrosine kinase overexpressed in a variety of human cancers, plays a critical role in the growth and survival of many types of cancer cells.

Ferulic acid acyl-β-D-glucoside, a metabolite of Ferulic Acid, is a novel inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1). It exhibits IC50 values of 3.78 µM and 12.5 µM for FGFR1 and FGFR2, respectively.

Picropodophyllin (Picropodophyllin (PPP)) (PPP) is a specific IGF-1R inhibitor (IC50: 1 nM). Picropodophyllin specifically inhibits the activity and downregulates the cellular expression of IGF1R without interfering with activities of other growth factor receptors, such as receptors for insulin, epidermal growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factor and mast stem cell growth factor (KIT).

Pegozafermin, a fibroblast growth factor FGF21 analog, is an endogenous metabolic hormone that regulates energy expenditure and glucose and lipid metabolism. It reduces triglyceride (TG) levels and is used for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG) [1] [2].

Siphonaxanthin is a carotenoid found in green algae, known for targeting the death receptor 5 (DR5) on cancer cells to induce apoptosis. In human leukemia HL-60 cells, it increases DR5 expression, reduces Bcl-2 levels, and activates caspase-3. It also inhibits fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR-1) signaling in endothelial cells. Siphonaxanthin suppresses the proliferation, migration, and tubular formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), as well as the growth of microvessels in rat aorta rings. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory properties by blocking the translocation of high-affinity IgE receptors (FcεRI) to lipid rafts in mast cells. Siphonaxanthin shows potential for research into diseases such as cancer, diabetic retinopathy, and rheumatoid arthritis.
