NF-κB Inducer

(-)-Camphoric acid is the less active enantiomer of Camphoric acid. Camphoric acid induces glutamate receptor expression. Camphoric acid also significantly induces the activation of NF-κB and AP-1. Camphoric acid significantly stimulates the differentiation of mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 subclone 4 cells. Camphoric acid has weak regulatory function towards glutamate receptors. Camphoric acid can induce mRNA expression of glutamate signaling molecules and activate transcription factors, thereby stimulating osteoblast differentiation.

c-(2'FdAMP-2'FdIMP) (Compound 52),a derivative of cAIMP (HY-134375), is a cyclic dinucleotide (CDN). c-(2'FdAMP-2'FdIMP) is a STING activator and significantly induce STING-dependent IRF and NF-κB pathway signaling. c-(2'FdAMP-2'FdIMP) can be used for STING-based immunotherapy, such as cancers and infectious diseases research.

Cryptanoside A, a cardiac glycoside epoxide, can be isolated from the stems of Cryptolepis dubia. Cryptanoside A has potent cytotoxicity against cancer cells. Cryptanoside A also inhibits Na+/K+-ATPase activity. Cryptanoside A increases the expression of Akt and the p65 subunit of NF-κB.
