Phytochemicals

<p>Stability Hygroscopic<br>Applications Chelerythrine Chloride is a cell permeable protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor.<br>References Song, L., et. al.: Brain Res., 1564, 52 (2014)<br></p>

<p>Stability Air Sensitive<br>Applications Levopimaric Acid is a major component of pine oleoresin. It is an abietane-type of diterpene resin acid and has antibacterial, cardiovascular, and antioxidant properties.<br>References Kersten, P. J., et al.: J. Chem. Ecol., 32(12), 2679-85 (2006)<br></p>

<p>Applications Madecassic Acid is a terpenoid with an ursane skeleton isolated from Centella asiatica. Madecassic Acid displays anti-inflammatory properties as a result of iNOS, COX-2, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 inhibition via the downregulation of NF-kappaB activation in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Madecassic Acid is found in cosmetic products due to its skin-protective activities.<br>References Wonh, J.H. et al.: Planta Med., 76, 251 (2010); Kwon, M.C. et al.: J. Biotechnol., 157, 100 (2012); Loiseau, A. et al.: Cosm. Toil., 115, 63 (2000);<br></p>

<p>Applications Cyanidin 3-O-Rutinoside retards absorption of carbohydrates by inhibition of α-glucosidase which may be useful as a potential inhibitor for prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus.<br>References Raptis, S., et al.: Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes 2001, 109, S265,,Ceriello, A; Diabetes 2005, 54, 1,,Chiasson, J; Endocr Pract 2006, 12, 25,,,Misra, A; J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2008, 93, S9<br></p>

<p>Applications Palmatine Chloride is a protoberberine alkaloid, as a potential anti-inflammatory and anti-hypertensive agent.<br>References Bhadra, K. et al.: Med. Res. Rev., 31, 821 (2011)<br></p>

<p>Applications A hydroxylated psoralen that inhibits neutrophil infiltration and brain edema induced by focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. A potentially useful antiarrhythmic agent. It has been shown to be effective in the prevention of ventricular fibrillation of mice induced by chloroform, of rats induced by calcium chloride, and in treatment of rat arrhythmia induced by aconitine. Recent studies show that it may also have antioxidant and anticancer activities.<br>References Lian, Q. et al.: Zhongcaoyao, 27, 347 (1996); He, W. et al.: Zhong. Yao. Tong., 25, 668 (2009); Prasad, K.N. et al.: Food Chem., 118, 62 (2009);<br></p>

<p>Stability Volatile<br>Applications In the presence of sugars, lysine, similarly to asparagine and phenylalanine, can undergo carbonyl-assisted decarboxylative deamination reaction to generate pent-4-en-1-amine, the counterpart of acrylamide.<br> Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package<br>References Stadler, R., et al.: Chem. Res. Toxicol., 16, 1242 (2003), Stadler, R., et al.: J. Agric. Food Chem., 52, 5550 (2004),<br></p>

<p>Applications An iridoid glycoside that exhibits protective effects against hepatic injury and other diabetic complications associated with abnormal metabolic states and inflammation caused by oxidative stress and advanced glycation endproduct formation. A potential anti-amnesic agent.<br>References Yamabe, N. et al.: Eur. J. Pharmmacol., 648, 179 (2010); de Carman Recio, M. et al.: Planta Medica, 3, 232 (1994); Kwon, S. et al.: Eur. J.
