Cucurbitacin IIa (Standard)  (Synonyms: Hemslecin A (Standard))

Cucurbitacin IIa (Hemslecin A) (Standard) is the analytical standard for Cucurbitacin IIa (HY-N1988). This product is used for research and analytical applications. Cucurbitacin IIa is an orally active, blood-brain barrier-penetrating EGFR inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 1.455 nM for human EGFR. Cucurbitacin IIa induces caspase-3 dependent cell apoptosis, downregulates survivin expression, enhances autophagy levels, disrupts the actin cytoskeleton through actin aggregation, blocks the cell cycle at the G2/M phase, and inhibits the EGFR-MAPK signaling pathway to exert anti-inflammatory activity. Cucurbitacin IIa can be used in research on inflammatory-related diseases, depression, and non-small cell lung cancer and other cancers.

The compound is the grade of analytical standard, which is the reference standard supplied assay. It is commonly used in qualitative, quantitative and methodological research experiments in HPLC, GC and MS.
