Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Fraxinellone has anti-inflammatory properties. Fraxinellone was found to inhibit LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production, and to reduce the LPS-induced expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) at the mRNA and protein levels in a dose-dependent manner.

Product Data
Biological target:
Fraxinellone is a PD-L1 inhibitor and inhibits HIF-1α protein synthesis without affecting HIF-1α protein degradation.
In vitro activity:
Lipopolysaccharide stimulation significantly upregulated the levels of inflammatory factors, which were inhibited by fraxinellone intervention. Moreover, fraxinellone notably promoted osteogenic differentiation and calcification shown by increasing levels of alkaline phosphatase, calcification and osteogenic marker proteins. Furthermore, the expression of BMP2, phosphorylated Smad1 and phosphorylated Smad5 was remarkably upregulated when fraxinellone exposure in lipopolysaccharide-induced PDLSCs. Reference: Arch Oral Biol. 2021 Jan;121:104927. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33137544/
In vivo activity:
The present study showed that fraxinellone could alleviate folic acid-induced kidney fibrosis in mice in a dose dependent manner. Reference: Toxicol Appl Pharmacol. 2021 Jun 1;420:115530. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33845055/
