VEGFR2/KDR/Flk-1 Activator

Secretoneurin, rat is a 33-amino acid neuropeptide produced by proteolytic processing of chromogranin II, widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, and its release is calcium-dependent. Secretoneurin, rat modulates the activities of caspase-3, caspase-1, the NLRP3 inflammasome, IGF-1R, VEGFR1, VEGFR2, FGFR3, AMPK, ERK1/2/MAPK, and Jak2/Stat3 pathways. Secretoneurin, rat regulates neuronal apoptosis, synaptic structure, inflammation, neurogenesis, angiogenesis, oxidative stress, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, dopamine release, and cell migration and proliferation. Secretoneurin, rat is used in studies of global cerebral ischemia, myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiac hypertrophy.

Mirificin (Puerarin apioside) is a blood-brain barrier-permeable tyrosinase inhibitor, with an IC₅₀ value of 12.66 μM against mushroom tyrosinase. Mirificin reduces the expression of ALOX12 in cardiomyocytes and alleviates hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced apoptosis. The neuroprotective effect of Mirificin depends on the activation of VEGFR2 and HSP1A1, which reduces cerebral infarct size and improves neurological function. Mirificin can be used in the research of hyperpigmentation, acute myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke.
