COX
Cyclooxygenase
Cyclooxygenase (COX), officially known as prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS), is an enzyme that is responsible for formation of important biological mediators called prostanoids, including prostaglandins, prostacyclin and thromboxane. Pharmacological inhibition of COX can provide relief from the symptoms of inflammation and pain. Drugs, like Aspirin, that inhibit cyclooxygenase activity have been available to the public for about 100 years. Two cyclooxygenase isoforms have been identified and are referred to as COX-1 and COX-2. Under many circumstances the COX-1 enzyme is produced constitutively (i.e., gastric mucosa) whereas COX-2 is inducible (i.e., sites of inflammation). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), such as aspirin and ibuprofen, exert their effects through inhibition of COX. The main COX inhibitors are the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Serratiopeptidase
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-E70127CAS No.: 37312-62-2Synonyms: Brasan; DasenSerratiopeptidase (Brasan; Dasen) is an orally active zinc-containing metalloprotease belonging to the serralysin family. Serratiopeptidase reduces the release of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins, thromboxanes and interleukins by inhibiting COX, thereby relieving pain, swelling and redness. Serratiopeptidase exhibits antibiofilm, mucolytic and wound-healing activities. As a serine protease, Serratiopeptidase has the ability to dissolve blood clots, fibrin and atherosclerotic plaques. Serratiopeptidase degrades amyloid fibrils and has potential anti-Alzheimer's effects. Serratiopeptidase shows cytotoxicity against colon cancer cells.

Isorhamnetin 3-O-galactoside
0 ImagesIsorhamnetin 3-O-galactoside (Cacticin) is a flavonoid glycoside that can be isolated from Oenanthe javanica, with antithrombotic and profibrinolytic activities. Isorhamnetin 3-O-galactoside inhibits the activities of thrombin and factor Xa (FXa) and reduces thrombin-catalyzed fibrin polymerization maximum rate. Isorhamnetin 3-O-galactoside suppresses TNF-α-induced PAI-1 secretion, decreases the PAI-1/tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) ratio, and inhibits FXa production and FVa/FXa-mediated thrombin generation. Isorhamnetin 3-O-galactoside exerts protective effects against Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) (HY-Y0298)-induced hepatic injury in mice. Isorhamnetin 3-O-galactoside can be used for the study of liver injury-related diseases and thrombotic vascular diseases.

Darutoside
0 ImagesDarutoside is an orally effective diterpene compound with significant anti-inflammatory, analgesic, wound healing promotion, and immunomodulatory activities. Darutoside reduces edema and pain responses by inhibiting the expression of COX-2 and the migration of inflammatory cells. It regulates macrophage polarization towards the M2 type by inhibiting the NF-κB pathway, alleviating inflammation and promoting wound healing. Through multi-target regulation of metabolic networks, Darutoside significantly alleviates acute gouty arthritis.

Isoastragaloside I
0 ImagesSynonyms: Isoastragaloside-IIsoastragaloside I is a natural compound found in Astragalus membranaceus, with oral activity and multiple biological activities such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Isoastragaloside I inhibits Akt, NF-κB, MAPKs and PI3K, enhances the activity of hepatic FXR, regulates the TGF-β/Smads signaling pathway, and upregulates antioxidant molecules downstream of Nrf2. Isoastragaloside I inhibits the expression of NO, TNF-α, iNOS, COX-2, IL-1β and VCAM-1, and reduces intracellular ROS levels. Isoastragaloside I attenuates blood-brain barrier disruption, restores intestinal barrier function, increases β-cell mass, improves glucose homeostasis, and elevates circulating adiponectin levels. Isoastragaloside I can be used for the study of neuroinflammation-related neurodegenerative diseases, cholestatic liver disease, and diabetes.
