YS-49 protects cells from oxidant injury; anti-inflammatory agent; activator of PI3K/Akt signaling. YS-49, an analog of higenamine, induces heme oxygenase (HO-1) in endothelial cells and protects cells from oxidant injury. The compound was reported to inhibit Ang II-stimulated VSMC proliferation through HO-1 production, which inhibits both the JNK pathway and ROS production. A study (JPET) reported that CKD712 (S-YS-49) confer cardiac protection and anti-inflammatory via activation of the PI3K signal pathway. These effects were antagonized by a PI3K inhibitor, wortmannin.
