PKC
Protein Kinase C Alpha (PKCα) is a serine/threonine kinase involved in diverse cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. It plays a critical role in signal transduction pathways downstream of G-protein-coupled receptors and receptor tyrosine kinases[1]. PKCα regulates cell survival and growth through activation of the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways[2]. In cancer, PKCα is often overexpressed and contributes to tumor progression, particularly in breast and prostate cancers[3]. It also modulates vascular smooth muscle contraction and endothelial function, implicating it in cardiovascular diseases. Notably, PKCα exhibits distinct functions compared to other PKC isoforms due to its unique subcellular localization and substrate specificity[4]. Targeting PKCα with selective inhibitors such as Gö6976 has shown therapeutic potential in preclinical models of cancer and inflammatory disorders[5].

MGF24
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-P11124CAS No.: 1611488-66-4MGF24 is a modified protease-resistant MGF derivative. MGF24 protects dopaminergic neurons from 6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) (HY-113028)-induced apoptosis by inducing Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). MGF24 activates PKC-ε, which in turn activates Nrf2, up-regulating HO-1. MGF24 has neuroprotective activity and reduces myocardial infarct size in sheep models of myocardial ischemia. MGF24 can be used for neurological diseases like stroke, nerve injury and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research.

0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-N0735RCAS No.: 104112-82-5Phellodendrine chloride (Standard) is the analytical standard of Phellodendrine chloride (HY-N0735). Phellodendrine chloride is an orally active plant alkaloid. Phellodendrine chloride inhibits the proliferation of KRAS-mutated pancreatic cancer cells by suppressing macropinocytosis and glutamine metabolism, inducing ROS accumulation and mitochondrial apoptosis. Phellodendrine chloride promotes autophagy by activating the AMPK/mTOR pathway, alleviating intestinal damage in ulcerative colitis. Phellodendrine chloride can alleviate gouty arthritis by inhibiting the IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway. Phellodendrine chloride suppresses allergic reactions by altering the conformation of MRGPRB3/MRGPRX2 protein, thereby inhibiting the activation of PKC and subsequent downstream MAPK and NF-κB signaling. Phellodendrine chloride inhibits the AKT/NF-κB pathway and down-regulates the expression of COX-2, thereby protecting zebrafish embryos from oxidative stress. Phellodendrine chloride has an anti-major depressive disorder (MDD) effect by down-regulating CHRM1, HTR1A, and the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Bacopaside I (Standard)
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-N4246RCAS No.: 382148-47-2Bacopaside I (Standard) is the analytical standard of Bacopaside I. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Bacopaside I is an orally active aquaporin AQP1 inhibitor and PKC modulator with neuroprotective and anticancer activities. Bacopaside I specifically blocks the water channel and cGMP-gated ion channel activities of AQP1 without affecting AQP4, thereby inhibiting the migration of colon cancer cells expressing AQP1. Bacopaside I activates the Akt pathway by interacting with PI3K, specifically inhibits MAO-A, effectively alleviates neuron necrosis and apoptosis induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation, reduces oxidative stress, and regulates the surface expression of neuroreceptors. When combined with Bacopaside II (HY-N6016), Bacopaside I significantly reduces the viability, proliferation and invasion ability of breast cancer cells, and binds to the pregnane X receptor (PXR). Bacopaside I is applicable to the research of colon cancer, breast cancer, vascular dementia, cerebral ischemia and other related diseases.
