Kushenol A  (Synonyms: Leachianone E)

Cat. No.: HY-N2278 Purity: 99.84%
COA Handling Instructions

Kushenol A (Leachianone E) is isolated from the root of Sophora flavescent. Kushenol A is a non-competitive tyrosinase inhibitor to block the conversion of L-tyrosine to L-DOPA, shows IC50 and Kivalues of 1.1 μM and 0.4 μM, respectively. Kushenol A is a flavonoid antioxidant, has inhibitory effects on alpha-glucosidase (IC50: 45 μM; Ki: 6.8 μM) and β-amylase. Kushenol A is confirmed as potential inhibitors of enzymes targeted by cosmetics for skin whitening and aging.

Description

Kushenol A (Leachianone E) is isolated from the root of Sophora flavescent. Kushenol A is a non-competitive tyrosinase inhibitor to block the conversion of L-tyrosine to L-DOPA, shows IC50 and Kivalues of 1.1 μM and 0.4 μM, respectively[1]. Kushenol A is a flavonoid antioxidant, has inhibitory effects on alpha-glucosidase (IC50: 45 μM; Ki: 6.8 μM) and β-amylase[2]. Kushenol A is confirmed as potential inhibitors of enzymes targeted by cosmetics for skin whitening and aging[1].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 1.1 μM (tyrosinase); 45 μM (alpha-glucosidase)[1][2]

In Vitro

Kushenol A (25 μM) exhibits a highly potent inhibitory activity on ABTS+ radical scavenging with an IC50 value of 9.7 ± 0.1 μM, and exhibits inhibits scavenging activity as a percentage 93.7% at 25 μM[1].
Kushenol A (0-60 μg/ml; 24 hours) shows considerable cytotoxic effects against NSCLC cells, exhibits IC50 values of 5.3 μg/ml and 20.5 μg/ml for A549 and NCI‐H226 cells, respectively. It shows an IC50 value of 57.2 μg/ml for BEAS-2B cells[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
