Collagen Activator

4'-Acetoxy resveratrol is a Resveratrol (HY-16561) derivative. 4'-Acetoxy resveratrol upregulates gene expression of elastin, collagen types III and IV, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT), while downregulating interleukins (IL-1A, IL-1R2, IL-6, IL-8) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in human skin models. 4'-Acetoxy resveratrol can be used for skin reasearch.

1-Hydroxypyrene, a biomarker of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), is analyzed in urine samples. 1-Hydroxypyrene is the major biomarker of exposure to pyrenes. 1-Hydroxypyrene is the orally active agonist for aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and can lead to renal fibrosis.

(+)-Columbianetin ((S)-Columbianetin) acts as an inhibitor of JNK/ERK. (+)-Columbianetin inhibits UVA-induced phosphorylation of JNK and ERK, reduces the production of MMP-1, reverses UVA-induced Collagen (HY-NP003) degradation, and alleviates UVA-mediated inhibition of Smad2/3 phosphorylation and translocation. (+)-Columbianetin regulates the AP-1 and ASK1-MAPK signaling pathways, inhibits the production of ROS and blocks sub-G₁ cell cycle arrest. (+)-Columbianetin is applicable to research related to skin aging.

Hexapeptide-9 is a signaling peptide. Hexapeptide-9 can promote collagen production. Hexapeptide-9 has anti-aging activity, and can be used in cosmetic research.

Karacoline is an orally active PPARγ activator and ERK/JNK MAPK inhibitor. Karacoline restricts ROS production, maintains mitochondrial membrane potential, and inhibits pulmonary cell apoptosis. Karacoline inhibits NF-κB pathway activation, reduces acetylation levels of p65 and the expression of MMP14 and MMP9, enhances the expression of type II collagen (collagen II) and aggrecan (aggrecan), and suppresses extracellular matrix degradation. In a mouse model of sepsis-induced acute lung injury, Karacoline alleviates lung injury, inhibits the release of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α, increases the Bcl-2/BAX ratio, and reduces caspase 3 expression. Karacoline can be used in research related to acute lung injury and intervertebral disc degeneration.

1-Hydroxypyrene-d₉ is the deuterium labeled 1-Hydroxypyrene (HY-W014075). 1-Hydroxypyrene, a biomarker of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), is analyzed in urine samples. 1-Hydroxypyrene is the major biomarker of exposure to pyrenes. 1-Hydroxypyrene is the orally active agonist for aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and can lead to renal fibrosis.

Palmitoyl tripeptide-38 is a lipopeptide that increases the production of dermal and epidermal collagen, fibronectin, and hyaluronic acid. Palmitoyl tripeptide-38 is used in research related to skin aging (fine lines, wrinkles, reduced skin elasticity, decreased skin water content, uneven skin tone).

Tetrapeptide-4 is a synthetic tetrapeptide. Tetrapeptide-4 upregulates hyaluronic acid synthetase, and collagen production in human dermal fibroblasts. Tetrapeptide-4 reduces skin aging, improves skin firmness, elasticity, and appearance, and benefits hair.

Myristoyl pentapeptide-4 is a bioactive peptide with promotion of hair growth effect and has been reported used as a cosmetic ingredient.

1-Hydroxypyrene (Standard) is the analytical standard of 1-Hydroxypyrene (HY-W014075). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 1-Hydroxypyrene, a biomarker of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), is analyzed in urine samples. 1-Hydroxypyrene is the major biomarker of exposure to pyrenes. 1-Hydroxypyrene is the orally active agonist for aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and can lead to renal fibrosis.

Porphyra 334 is a carnosine-like amino acid and a natural photoprotective agent and antioxidant. Porphyra-334 exerts its photoprotective effects by scavenging ROS, inhibiting the expression and activity of MMP-1/8, and promoting the synthesis of collagen and elastin. Porphyra 334 effectively inhibits linoleic acid oxidation induced by alkyl radicals (AAPH) and singlet oxygen. Porphyra 334 has anti-obesity potential by inhibiting the expression of PPARγ2 and C/EBPα. Porphyra 334 protects cells against UV-induced DNA damage and apoptosis by inhibiting the activation of caspase-3.

L-Ascorbate-2-sulfate disodium (page 46) is a pharmacologically acceptable salt of the L-Ascorbic acid (HY-B0166G) derivative. L-Ascorbate-2-sulfate disodium stimulates collagen synthesis and possess skin-care functions including an elimination function of active oxygen.

Calcium glucoheptonate is a highly water-soluble calcium supplement. Calcium glucoheptonate can increase the proliferation rate and Calcium intake of MG-63 cells and increase the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Calcium glucoheptonate can upregulate the expression of osteogenic-related genes and proteins,such as collagen-1, osteocalcin and osteocalcin. Calcium glucoheptonate can be used for the researches of osteoporosis and hypocalcemia.
