Description:

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

Furosine is an L-lysine derivative formed by the Maillard reaction and a marker of overheating in foods. It induces cell cycle arrest at the S phase in HEK293 and HepG2 cells when used at a concentration of 200 µM. Furosine triggers necroptosis in hepatocytes by regulating the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL pathway. Furosine induces DNA damage and cell death in selected human cell lines: a strong toxicant to kidney Hek-293 cells.
