Biochem/physiol Actions

Active constituent of Cnidium monnieri, a traditional Chinese medicine used for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-lipedemic activities. Dramatically decreased lipid accumulation in a quail model. Its neuroprotective effect on MPP(+)-induced cytotoxicity in PC12 cells supports the use of osthole as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. Suppression of fatty acid synthase expression in HER2-overexpressing breast cancer cells indicates osthole as a promising agent for chemotherapy.

Fatty Acid Synthesis and Metabolism in Cancer Cells

Information on fatty acid synthesis and metabolism in cancer cells. Learn how proliferatively active cells require fatty acids for functions such as membrane generation, protein modification, and bioenergetic requirements. These fatty acids are derived either from dietary sources or are synthesized by the cell.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
