Product Data
Biological target:
Pristimerin is a potent and reversible monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) inhibitor with an IC50 of 93 nM.
In vitro activity:
Treatment of pristimerin induced an increase in intracellular ROS, JNK activation, conformational change, and mitochondrial redistribution of Bax, mitochondrial membrane potential loss, and cell death. The PARP-1 was also found to be activated by pristimerin treatment. An antioxidant, N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), inhibited pristimerin-induced JNK activation, Bax relocalization, and PARP-1 activation, as well as mitochondrial cell death. Reference: Mol Pharmacol. 2009 Oct;76(4):734-44. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19574249/
In vivo activity:
The present study focused on the inhibition of angiogenesis by Pristimerin in adjuvant-induced arthritic rats and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Results clearly demonstrate for the first time that Pristimerin significantly reduces vessel density in synovial membrane tissues of inflamed joints and reduces the expression of pro-angiogenic factors in sera, including TNF-α, Ang-1, and MMP-9. Pristimerin also decreased the expression of VEGF and p-VEGFR2 in the synovial membrane, whereas the total amount of VEGFR2 remained unchanged.
