Apocynin

Apocynin is a selective NADPH-oxidase inhibitor with an IC50 of 10 μM[1][2]. Apocynin improves acute lung inflammation in Carrageenan (HY-125474) -induced pleurisy mice model[3]. Apocynin can also be used for cancer research[4]. Apocynin reverses the aging process in mesenchymal stem cells to promote osteogenesis and increases bone mass[5].
