Dual-Action Anti-Inflammatory & Cancer Chemopreventive Agent
≥98% Purity: Pharmaceutical grade (HPLC-verified, dual COA with NMR/MS)
Multi-Target Bioactivity: Inhibits NF-κB/AP-1 pathways and induces ROS-mediated apoptosis
Thermostable & Lipid-Soluble: Ideal for oral formulations and topical delivery systems
Anti-Cancer Efficacy:
Suppresses NF-κB p65 subunit in ER? breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) at 20–40 μM, reducing tumor viability by 78% without toxicity to normal mammary cells (MCF-10A).
Induces mitochondrial permeability transition in HL-60 leukemia cells, triggering cytochrome c release and apoptosis.
Anti-Inflammatory & Antipyretic Effects:
Oral dose of 0.15 mg/kg abolishes LPS-induced fever and reduces carrageenan-induced paw edema by 62% in murine models.
Inhibits IL-1β expression by 75% in RAW 264.7 macrophages via blockade of JNK/p38 MAPK pathways.
Osteoprotective & Metabolic Regulation:
Dose-dependently inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation by suppressing c-Fos/NFATc1 signaling, preventing bone resorption.
Exhibits hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activity in diabetic models.
