Oroxin A (Standard)

Oroxin A (Standard) is the analytical standard of Oroxin A. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Oroxin A is the major component of an ethanol-water Oroxylum indicum (L.) Kurz (Bignoniaceae) seed extract (OISE). Oroxin A acts as a partial PPARγ agonist that can activate PPARγ transcriptional activation. Oroxin A activates PPARγ by docking into the PPARγ protein ligand-binding domain. Oroxin A also exhibits an inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase and an antioxidant capacity[1]. Oroxin A exerts anti-breast cancer effects by inducing ER stress-mediated senescence[2].
