CARDAMONIN Usage And Synthesis

Description

Cardamonin (19309-14-9) inhibits NF-κB activation via inhibition of IκBα degradation and phosphorylation, IκB kinase activation and NF-κB nuclear translocation.1,2 Cardamonin displays anti-inflammatory activity in various models.3?Cell permeable.

Uses

Cardamonin has been used as a glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) inhibitor to study its effects on β-catenin loss and gain-of-function in human preimplantation embryos.

Definition

ChEBI: Cardamonin is a member of chalcones.

General Description

This substance is a primary reference substance with assigned absolute purity (considering chromatographic purity, water, residual solvents, inorganic impurities). The exact value can be found on the certificate. Produced by PhytoLab GmbH & Co. KG

Biological Activity

Chalone analog that display anti-inflammatory activity. Inhibits NO and PGE 2 production from LPS- and IFN- γ -induced RAW cells and inhibits TXB 2 production via the COX-1 and COX-2 pathways. Inhibits NF- κ B activation via inhibition of I κ B α degradation and phosphorylation, I κ B kinase activation and NF- κ B nuclear translocation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cardamonin is a calchone from Aplinia species (zingiberaceous plant species). Cardamonin inhibits pigmentation in melanocytes through suppression of Wnt/b-catenin signaling pathway. Cardamonin suppressed Wnt/b-catenin signaling by a mechanism involving proteasome-mediated degradation of b-catenin (GSK-3b-independent pathway). Research has shown that Cardamonin possesses anti-inflammatory activity via suppression of NF-kB nuclear translocation and Ik-Ba phosphorylation.

storage

Store at +4°C
