Zeaxanthin dipalmitate is a carotenoid that has been found in F. lycii and has hepatoprotective activity.{59530,59531,59532,59533} It inhibits TGF-β-induced activation of hepatic stellate cells (IC50 = 186.34 µM).{59531} Zeaxanthin (25 mg/kg) reduces hepatic collagen deposition and levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), as well as the activity of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), in a rat model of hepatic fibrosis induced by bile duct ligation.{59532} It also decreases reactivated levels of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and reduces hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in a model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) induced by a methionine- and choline-deficient diet in HBV transgenic mice.{59533}

  • A small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state; activity is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM

    SC-1 – 10 mg

    The maintenance of embryonic stem cells in culture typically requires feeder cells and various exogenous factors found in serum. Murine embryonic stem (mES) cells can be maintained in the absence of feeder cells and serum but require the leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) and bone morphogenic protein (BMP) to prevent differentiation and promote self-renewal. SC-1 is a small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state.{14533} The activity of SC-1 is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM, respectively.{14533} Inhibition of RasGAP increases Ras signaling via the PI3-kinase pathway which promotes self-renewal, whereas inhibition of ERK blocks differentiation.
