Biochem/physiol Actions

S - Curvularin is a macrocyclic lactone with cytotoxic activity. Curvularin inhibits cell division as well as expression of human inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), an enzyme critically involved in pro-inflammatory immune processes. Curvularin anti-inflammatory activity was demonstrated in chronic inflammatory disease models in mice such as Chronic Induced Arthritis (CIA) as well as in human alveolar epithelial A549/8 cells.

Reconstitution

Soluble in DMSO (1 mg/mL), Chloroform (3 mg/mL) and Dichloromethane (3 mg/mL). Note: Insoluble in water.

Other Notes

Store the product sealed at −20 °C. Under these conditions the product is stable for at least 5 years.

A concise synthesis of di-O-methyl-beta,gamma-dehydrocurvularin, the di-O-methylated derivative of the naturally occurring nematicidal macrolide, beta,gamma-dehydrocurvuralin, was accomplished by starting from a commercially available aromatic carboxylic acid in a three-step sequence consisting of esterification, Friedel-Crafts acylation, and microwave-promoted ring-closing metathesis.
