General description

Amorfrutin A is a stilbenoid compound commonly present in plants like Glycyrrhiza foetida, Glycyrrhiza acanthocarpa, Cajanus cajan, and Amorpha fruticosa. Current research indicates that this naturally occurring metabolite possesses diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial properties.

Application

It is a natural product derived from plant source that finds application in compound screening libraries, metabolomics, phytochemical, and pharmaceutical research.

Biochem/physiol Actions

According to the existing research, Amorfrutin-A demonstrated its ability to inhibit NF-κB activity, a pivotal regulator of genes governing a wide range of cellular functions, such as immune responses, apoptosis, tumor growth, and tissue development. Furthermore, it exhibits anti-inflammatory properties in colon cells by interacting with the nuclear receptor PPARγ, resulting in the reduced expression and secretion of inflammatory mediators. This suggests its potential for treating conditions like inflammatory bowel diseases. Additionally, it also exhibited antidiabetic activity through binding to and activating the nuclear receptor PPARγ.

Features and Benefits

  • High quality compound suitable for multiple research applications
  • Compatible with HPLC and mass spectrometry techniques
