GSK-3 Modulator

Eupalinolide B is a germ sesquiterpene. Eupalinolide B can be isolated from Eupatorium lindleyanum. Eupalinolide B induces Apoptosis, elevates ROS, promotes Autophagy. regulates GSK-3β/β-catenin, targets UBE2D3 and TAK1, activates ROS-ER-JNK, inhibits NF-κB and MAPKs. Eupalinolide B has anticancer activity against pancreatic cancer and liver cancer. Eupalinolide B relieves rheumatoid arthritis, acute lung injury, periodontitis, depression.

Ganglioside GQ1b (​Tetrasialoganglioside GQ1b) (bovine) sodium is a central and peripheral nervous system ganglioside and an immunostimulator. Ganglioside GQ1b (bovine) sodium modulates NMDA receptor signaling via ERK1/2, PKA, CREB, NR2A, NR2B, and GSK3β, and increases BDNF expression. Ganglioside GQ1b (bovine) sodium reduces Aβ pathology, tau phosphorylation, and APP levels. Ganglioside GQ1b (bovine) sodium can be used for the research of Alzheimer’s disease.

Physalin B is an orally active anti-inflammatory and anticancer agent. Physalin B can be isolated from Physalis alkekengi L. var. Franchetii. Physalin B inhibits the activation of the NF-κB, NLRP3 inflammasome, STAT3, PI3K/Akt and Hedgehog signaling pathways, regulates the phosphorylation levels of GSK-3β, p38 MAPK, ERK1/2 and JNK, and promotes the nuclear translocation of NRF2. Physalin B reduces the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and factors, induces mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mito-ROS) production, Apoptosis, G2/M cell cycle arrest and incomplete Autophagy, alters cytoskeleton structure and alleviates oxidative stress. Physalin B reduces cancer cell viability, ameliorates liver and lung tissue damage and alleviates liver fibrosis. Physalin B can be used in research related to ulcerative colitis, breast cancer, acute lung injury, colon cancer, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, liver fibrosis, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, lymphoma, ovarian cancer, sarcoma and leukemia.

LQB-118 is an orally active compound derived from sandalwood. LQB-118 can inhibit the migration of glioblastoma cells and induce cell death. LQB-118 can suppress the migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells by regulating the AKT/GSK3β pathway and the expression of the MMP-9/reck genes. LQB-118 can also inhibit yeast polysaccharide-induced inflammation both in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, LQB-118 selectively induces ROS-triggered and mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis in Leishmania amazonensis. LQB-118 can be used in studies related to inflammation, infections, and cancer diseases.
