Ginkgolide B (BN-52021), a terpene lactone, is a potent platelet activating factor antagonist. Ginkgolide B protects endothelial cells via the activation of PXR from injuries induced by xeno- and endobiotics. Ginkgolide B can pass through the brain-blood barrier. Ginkgolide B has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-apoptotic activity. Ginkgolide B has marked neuroprotective effects against ischemia-induced impairments.

Description

In Vitro

Ginkgolide B (BN-52021; 30-150 μM; 24 h) inhibits the up-regulation of VCAM-1 and E-selectin protein expression induced by TNF-α (10 ng/mL)^[1].
Ginkgolide B (30-150 μM; 24, 48 h) increases CYP3A4 mRNA and MDR1 expression^[1].
Ginkgolide B (30-150 μM; pretreated for 24 h) reduces Staurosporine-induced (500 nM; 6 h) apoptosis compared with the positive controls, which exhibited marked apoptosis compared with negative controls. Ginkgolide B does not affect Doxorubicin (5 μM; 24 h) induced apoptosis^[1].

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
