YS-49 monohydrate
Based on 15 publication(s) in Google Scholar
YS-49 (monohydrate) is a PI3K/Akt (a downstream target of RhoA) activator, to reduce RhoA/PTEN activation in the 3-methylcholanthrene-treated cells. YS-49 inhibits angiotensin II (Ang II)-stimulated proliferation of VSMCs via induction of heme oxygenase (HO)-1. YS-49 is also an isoquinoline compound alkaloid, has a strong positive inotropic action through activation of cardiac β-adrenoceptors.

Biological Activity
PI3K/Akt[3]
YS-49 (1-100?μM; 18 hours; RAVSMC and RAW 264.7 cells) concentration-dependently inhibits the accumulation of nitrite in both RAVSMC and RAW 264.7 exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plus INF-γ, with IC50 values of 22 μM and 30?μM, respectively[2].
YS-49 (10-100?μM; 18 hours; RAVSMC and RAW 264.7 cells) suppresses iNOS gene expression induced by LPS and/or cytokines in RAVSMC and RAW 264.7 cells at the transcriptional level[2].
