Biochem/physiol Actions

Anti-melanogenic in mouse and human melanoma cells through the induction of AMPK and MAPK phosphorylation
Kazinol U is prenylated flavan isolated from an extract of Broussonetia kazinoki Sieb (paper mulberry) that exhibits anti-melanogenic activity in mouse and human melanoma cells through the induction of AMPK and MAPK phosphorylation. Kazinol U inhibits tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis through the reduction of MITF expression. It suppresses melanogenesis in a zebrafish model. Kazinol U displays phytoestrogenic and anti-inflammatory activities. Kazinol U exhibits cytoprotective activities against cytokine-induced apoptotic cell death.

Kazinol U is a prenylated flavan isolated from an extract of Broussonetia kazinoki Sieb (Moraceae). Kazinol U has shown cytoprotective effects against cytokine-induced apoptotic cell death and induces AMP kinase (AMPK) activation through LKB1 activation. However, kazinol U has not

The generation of nitric oxide (NO) via inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and reactive oxygen species plays a key role in cytokine-mediated pancreatic β-cell damage. Oxidative stress due to reactive oxygen species activates the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) transcription factor, which regulates

Enantiomers account for quite a large percentage of compounds in natural products. Our team is interested in the separation and biological activity of racemic compounds. In this report, four pairs of prenylated flavan enantiomers [(±)-1-(±)-4], including five new compounds, were
