MedKoo Cat#: 146191 | Name: Chimaphilin

Description:

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

Chimaphilin is a naturally occurring phenolic compound found in plants such as Chimaphila umbellata (pipsissewa) and exhibits a range of biological activities, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It works by inhibiting the activity of pro-inflammatory enzymes like cyclooxygenase (COX) and suppressing the production of reactive oxygen species, thereby reducing oxidative stress. Chimaphilin is being studied for its potential therapeutic applications in treating conditions like infections, arthritis, and other inflammatory diseases. Its ability to modulate immune responses and decrease inflammation makes it a promising candidate for natural medicine.
