VH9
VH9 is a Free radical scavenger. VH9 binds to the active pocket of Keap1, blocks the interaction between Keap1 and Nrf2, and activates the Keap1-Nrf2 antioxidant pathway. VH9 inhibits ROS production. VH9 scavenges ABTS and DPPH free radicals through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. VH9 protects cells from oxidative stress damage.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
VH9 exhibits potent ABTS radical scavenging activity in a cell-free assay, with an IC50 of 19.698 μM[1].
VH9 exhibits DPPH radical scavenging activity in a cell-free assay, with an IC50 of 1500.825 μM[1].
VH9 (0.1-3 mg/mL; 1-2 h) exhibits good stability across varying temperatures, pH levels, NaCl concentrations, and simulated gastrointestinal digestion, retaining significant radical scavenging activity under all tested conditions[1].
VH9 (62.5-1500 μg/mL; 24 h) protects human HepG2 cells from H2O2-induced oxidative stress, increasing cell viability to up to 84.52% at a concentration of 1500 μg/mL[1].

ROS/oxidative-stress fluorescent staining
ROS/oxidative-stress fluorescent staining uses cell-permeant fluorogenic probes that become fluorescent after oxidation inside cells or tissues; commonly used examples include DCFH-DA/DCFDA for broad cellular oxidant detection, DHE for superoxide-related signal detection, MitoSOX for mitochondrial superoxide-related signal detection, and CellROX probes for oxidative-stress-associated fluorescence readouts. The assay detects probe oxidation rather than a single ROS species unless the probe and analysis method have been chemically validated for that species. DCFH-DA enters cells, is deacetylated by intracellular esterases to DCFH, and produces fluorescent DCF after oxidation, so the readout is used as an operational measure of total cellular oxidative stress rather than a species-specific ROS measurement. DHE and MitoSOX can report superoxide-related oxidation, but red fluorescence alone can include non-specific ethidium-like oxidation products; HPLC or optimized spectral approaches are
