SKU: orb1981934

Description

Brazilein, a bioactive compound from Caesalpinia sappan L., acts as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent. It suppresses adipocyte differentiation by downregulating PPARγ and induces apoptosis in skin cancer cells via caspase-3 activation, with additional reported insecticidal properties. This makes it a useful research tool for metabolic, oncology, and entomology studies.
