CAS No.: 451-13-8
Purity:  99.46%
Homogentisic acid is an orally active, blood-brain barrier-permeable amyloidogenic compound that functions as both an amyloid component and a pigment precursor. Accumulation of homogentisic acid downregulates tight junction proteins (such as claudin-5, occludin, ZO-1) and impairs blood-brain barrier integrity. Homogentisic acid and its oxidation product benzoquinone acetic acid not only induce the aggregation and fibrosis of multiple proteins (such as Aβ1-42, α-synuclein, SAA, Transthyretin (TTR), atrial natriuretic peptide), but also trigger oxidative stress, damage to the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and neurotoxicity, leading to ochronosis pigment deposition and synaptic dysfunction. At specific concentrations, homogentisic acid exerts no cytotoxicity or genotoxicity on human peripheral blood lymphocytes, and even counteracts the genotoxicity induced by Irinotecan (HY-16562). Homogentisic acid serves as an important tool molecule for investigating the mechanisms of diseases including ochronosis, secondary amyloidosis, Alzheimer's disease, and colorectal cancer [1] .

Synonyms: UP302
Nivitol (UP302) is a natural phenolic compound discovered from Dianella ensifolia and also acts as a Tyrosinase inhibitor. Nivitol competitively and reversibly inhibits tyrosinase, suppressing melanin production. Nivitol inhibits homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase (HGD). In human leukemia cells, Nivitol inhibits PI3K/AKT pathway phosphorylation, increases ROS, decreases mitochondrial membrane potential, and induces G2/M cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy. Nivitol exhibits inhibition of tumor growth in the MV411 xenograft mouse model. Nivitol is used for research on exogenous ochronosis, hyperpigmentation, and leukemia [1] .
