General description

Bergamottin, a member of the furanocoumarin family, is primarily found in grapefruit juice. It is reported to be a novel signal transducer and activator of the transcription 3 (STAT3) inhibitor. It is a known drug inhibitor of cytochrome P450 34A and also exhibits diverse anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory activities.

Application

Bergamottin may be used as an analytical standard to test its efficacy in the following:
  • Blocker of STAT3 activation pathway in tumor cells; its potential in the therapy of multiple myeloma (MM) and other cancers is investigated.
  • Prevention and the treatment of cancer via suppression of the NF-kB signaling pathway and its regulated gene products.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Colored (pink and red) grapefruit pulp contains lower amounts of the furanocoumarin derivatives that cause pharmacokinetic interactions than white grapefruit pulp. However, few studies have examined interactions with colored juice products. Therefore, we examined the potential interactions of both white
