Nrf2/HO-1 activator 2 (compound 13m), a difluoro-substituted derivative, is a highly potent activator of Nrf2/HO-1. It exhibits substantial neuroprotective and antioxidant properties by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway through phosphorylation of ERK1/2, JNK, or Akt in PC12 cells. This compound finds utility in the investigation of Parkinson's disease (PD) [1].
HO-PEG1-benzyl ester is a PEG-based linker for PROTACs which joins two essential ligands, crucial for forming PROTAC molecules. This linker enables selective protein degradation by leveraging the ubiquitin-proteasome system within cells.
4-O-Methylbutein (2',3,4'-trihydroxy-4-methoxychalcone) may have anti-inflammation activity, it is a potent heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) inducer, the upregulation of HO-1 has proven to be a useful tool for fighting inflammation.
Cudraflavone B has anti-proliferative activity, mouse brain monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory effects, apoptotic actions in human gastric carcinoma cells and mouse melanoma cells, and hepatoprotective activity. It may be a lead for the development of a potential candidate for human oral squamous cell carcinoma cells.
