Product Description
Major constituent of St. John’s wort, a herbal remedy widely used for the treatment of depression. Inhibits the reuptake of neurotransmitters in synapses. Activator of the pregnane X receptor (PXR), which serves as a key regulator of CYP3A4 transcription, a member of the cytochrome (CYP) P450 enzyme system. Specifically activates TRPC6 channels. Represents an interesting lead-structure for a new class of antidepressants. Displays several other biological properties of potential pharmacological interest, including antibacterial, anti-inflammational, antitumoral and anti-angiogenic effects. Induces apoptosis in various cancer cells.

Product Description
Potent, naturally occuring non-steroid estrogenic compound. Agonist for estrogen receptor (ER) α and agonist/antagonist for ERβ with higher binding affinity than tamoxifen (Prod. No. ALX-550-095) for both ERs. Electrogenic Ca2+ ionophore inducing mitochondrial depolarisation which can be completely blocked by cyclosporin A (Prod. No. ALX-380-002), suggesting that ferutinin opens the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). In a concentration range of 1-50µM ferutinin increases the permeability of thymocytes, mitochondria, sarcoplasmic reticulum, liposomes and bilayer lipid membranes for Ca2+.
