Product Description
Dual inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (COX) and 5-lipoxygenase. Also inhibits glutathione S-transferase, induction of nitric oxide (NO) in activated macrophages and inhibits EGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of EGF receptors. Antioxidant. Inhibitor of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), disrupting the binding of NQO1 to wild type p53 inducing ubiquitin-independent degradation of p53 and inhibits p53-mediated apoptosis in normal thymocytes and myeloid leukemic cells.

Product Description

Sesquiterpene lactone. Anti-inflammatory compound. Specifically inhibits activation of NF-κB by preventing the degradation of IκBα and IκBβ. Inhibits activation of MAP kinase (MAPK/ERK) and generation of leukotriene B4 and thromboxane B2. Potent anticancer agent. Induces apoptosis in various cancer cell lines. Specifically inhibits histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) without affecting other class I/II HDACs. Inhibits tubulin carboxypeptidase (TCP) activity.
