Product Information

• Name: (3R,8S)-Falcarindiol
• Synonyms: (3R,8S,9Z)-1,9-Heptadecadiene-4,6-diyne-3,8-diol(+)-(3R,8S)-Falcarindiol(3R),(8S)-Falcarindiol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (3R,8S)-Falcarindiol is a glycol ether that is found in the bark of the Dichapetalum cymosum tree. It has been shown to have potent anti-infective properties and can be used as an adjuvant treatment for infectious diseases. (3R,8S)-Falcarindiol has been shown to exhibit significant cytotoxicity against HL-60 cells and dextran sulfate, which may be due to its ability to inhibit energy metabolism by blocking enzymes such as succinic dehydrogenase. The anti-inflammatory effects of (3R,8S)-falcarindiol are due to its inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis and production of nitric oxide. This compound also inhibits apoptosis in Hl-60 cells by acting as a substrate for abcg2, one of the proteins involved in apoptosis pathways. Analysis of this compound is done using preparative high performance liquid chromatography.
