Iridaceae Extract

Crocin (Crocin I) is an orally active natural product that can be isolated from the stigma of Crocus sativus. Crocin inhibits tumor cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis through JAK pathway. Crocin has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antitumor activities .

Crocetin (Transcrocetin) is an aglycone of crocin. Crocetin is an orally active and brain-penetrant. Crocetin shows strong NMDA receptor affinity and channel opening activity. Crocetin can downregulate the proinflammatory cytokines and COX-2 exoression. Crocetin can inhibit apoptosis and activation of MAPK. Crocetin can delay delays brain and body aging. Crocetin can be used for the researches of cancer, neurological disease and inflammation, such as cervical cancer and ischemia.

Safranal is an orally active main component of Saffron (Crocus sativus) and is responsible for the unique aroma of this spice. Safranal has neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects and has the potential for Parkinson’s disease research.

Irigenin is a is a lead compound, and mediates its anti-metastatic effect by specifically and selectively blocking α9β1 and α4β1 integrins binding sites on C-C loop of Extra Domain A (EDA). Irigenin shows anti-cancer properties. It sensitizes TRAIL-induced apoptosis via enhancing pro-apoptotic molecules in gastric cancer cells.

Picrocrocin, an apocarotenoid found in Saffron. Picrocrocin shows anticancer effect. Picrocrocin exhibits growth inhibitory effects against SKMEL-2 human malignant melanoma cells.

Phorone (Diisopropylidene acetone) is a glutathione (GSH)-depleting agent with a K_m of 0.9 mM. Phorone exacerbates the hepatotoxicity of substances such as Acetaminophen (HY-66005) by depleting GSH, while also inducing heme oxygenase (HO) activity and reducing the binding capacity of hepatic glucocorticoid receptor (GRc). Phorone specifically depletes intracellular free GSH primarily through glutathione S-transferase (GST)-mediated enzymatic conjugation, a process that is independent of oxidative stress pathways. Phorone can be used for research on liver injury and hepatotoxicity.

Dichotomitin is an isoflavonoid compound isolated from the rhizomes of Belamcanda chinensis. Dichotomitin exhibits antioxidant activity, alleviates oxidative stress, reduces intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and upregulates the expression of SOD1, SOD2 and CAT. Dichotomitin increases ALP activity while upregulating the expression of RUNX2, OPN and OCN. Dichotomitin has antitussive activity and helps improve symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections.

Embinin is a natural product that can be isolated from Petals of Iris germanica Linnaeous. Embinin can enhance lumbar disc neovascularization and induces apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells in lumbar disc herniation rats.

Swertisin is an oral adenosine A1 receptor antagonist and an SGLT2 inhibitor. Swertisin has anti-diabetic, antioxidant properties, inhibits HBV, and improves cognitive and memory impairments in mice.

Crocin III is a crocin isolated from Crocus sativus L. Crocins inhibit the growth of tumor cells and exhibit anti-inflammatory activity.

Crocetin dialdehyde is a non-volatile apocarotenoid obtained by the action of the plastidic enzyme CCD2 over the carotenoid zeaxanthin in saffron. Crocetin dialdehyde can be converted into Crocetin (HY-N2072) by aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs). Crocetin dialdehyde has no effect on the liver in mice.

Iristectorigenin A is a natural isoflavone isolated from B. chinensis rhizomes. Iristectorigenin A shows antioxidant activity.

Irisflorentin, a naturally occurring isoflavone, is an abundant active constituent in Belamcanda chinensis. Irisflorentin markedly reduces the transcriptional and translational levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) as well as the production of NO. Anti-inflammatory activity.

Eleutherin is a type of naphthoquinone derivative with the protective effect against the injury ofhuman umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), which can be isolated from the edible bulbs of Eleutherine americana (Hong-Cong).

Iridin is an orally active natural isoflavone. Iridin inhibits the PI3K/AKT and PKM2 signaling pathways, and downregulates the JAK/STAT and NF-κB pathways. Iridin induces Fas-mediated extrinsic apoptosis, G2/M cell cycle arrest, and inhibits cell proliferation. Iridin reduces inflammation, inhibits ROS production, suppresses glycolysis, and also exhibits antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. Iridin can be used in research related to gastric cancer and acute lung injury.

Gardenia yellow is a competitive inhibitor of α-Amylase (HY-B2193) and α-glucosidase. Gardenia yellow can bind to the catalytic sites of α-Amylase and α-glucosidase, inhibit starch digestion, and significantly increase the contents of resistant starch and slowly digestible starch in starch-based systems. Gardenia yellow reduces the glycemic index and hydrolysis index. Gardenia yellow can be used in diabetes-related research.

Crocetin (Transcrocetin) disodium, extracted from saffron (Crocus sativus L.), acts as an NMDA receptor antagonist with high affinity.

Crocin IV (Dicrocin), a crocetin glycoside, is a carotenoid pigment. Crocin IV has potent antioxidant activity.

Iristectorigenin B (Iristectrigenin B) is a liver X receptor (LXR) modulator. Iristectrigenin B stimulates the transcriptional activity of both LXR-α and LXR-β.

Crocin (Standard) is the analytical standard of Crocin. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Crocin (Crocin I) is an orally active natural product that can be isolated from the stigma of Crocus sativus. Crocin inhibits tumor cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis through JAK pathway. Crocin has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antitumor activities .
