Nutraceutical Profile

ImmunCR Id : ICR76
Chemical Name : Β-Hydroxyisovalerylshikonin
Plant Source : Lithospermum erythrorhizon
Nutraceutical information : ---
Mode of administration : ---
Immunomodulatory mechanism : Anti-cancer (inhibits PTK (protein tyrosine kinase) and v-Src, downregulates TRAP1 (Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated protein 1) gene expression; Anti-inflammatory (supressess IL-6, tnfα, NO, PEG2, COX-2, inos, inhibits PI3K/AKT/NF-κb signaling pathways, IL-1β, activates Nrf2/HO-1 pathway); Anti-arthritic (upregulates collagen II, aggrecan expression, downregulates MMP-13 (matrix metalloproteinase), ADAMTS5 (thrombospondin protein motifs)); Anti-apoptotic (ROS generation, upregulates cytosolic cytochrome c, caspase 8,9,3, bad, G2/M cell cycle arrest, downregulates Bcl2, Bid); Anti-antigiogenesis (inhibits expression and phosphorylation of VEGFR2 (Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor)and Tie2, suppresses (MAPK)-Sp1 pathway)
Description : It is a 1,4 naphtoquinone derivative of shikonin extracted from the Boraginaceae family, possessing strongest anti-apoptotic property among the shikonin and its derivatives.
