Pratensein

SKU: orb1297233

Description

Pratensein is a small molecule that transcriptionally upregulates scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) in HepG2 cells. This compound is a valuable research tool for investigating SR-BI's role in hepatic cholesterol metabolism and HDL function in both in vitro and in vivo models of cardiovascular and metabolic disease.

Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  Protective effect of five isoflavones (formononetin, daidzein, Pratensein, calycosin and irilone) from Trifolium pratense on lipopolysaccharide-induced dopaminergic neurodegeneration was studied for the first time. The results showed that all five isoflavones attenuated LPS-induced decrease in dopamine uptake and the number of dopaminergic neurons in a dose-dependent manner in rat mesencephalic neuron-glia cultures. Moreover, they also significantly inhibited LPS-induced activation of microglia and production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, nitric oxide and superoxide in mesencephalic neuron-glia cultures and microglia-enriched cultures. In addition, the rank order of protective potency of five isoflavones was: Pratensein>daidzein>calycosin>formononetin>irilone.
