MedKoo Cat#: 145840 | Name: Guaiacin

Description:

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

Guaiacin is a lignan compound isolated from plants such as Machilus wangchiana and Cinnamomum philippinense. It has been studied for its potential pharmacological activities, including the inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), which play key roles in inflammation. By inhibiting these enzymes, guaiacin may help reduce inflammation, offering therapeutic benefits in conditions like arthritis. Additionally, guaiacin has been identified as a phosphatase activator, suggesting it may influence cellular signaling pathways.
