Product Data:
Biological target: Convallatoxin ameliorates colitic inflammation via activation of PPARγ and suppression of NF-κB.
In vitro activity: Stimulation of mouse macrophages with lipopolysaccharide induced secretion of proinflammatory cytokines via suppression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), two transcription factors implicated in many inflammatory diseases. Notably, the effects of lipopolysaccharide were reversed by concomitant treatment of macrophages with CNT (convallatoxin). Reference: Pharmacol Res. 2019 Sep;147:104355. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31386886/
In vivo activity: Finally, in vivo observations were confirmed by showing antitumor activity of convallatoxin in a murine xenograft model. Reference: Phytomedicine. 2020 Mar;68:153172. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32004989/
