Description
(extracted from source data)
DESCRIPTION Nordihydroguaiaretic acid is a 5-lipoxygenase (5LOX) (IC50=8 ¦ÌM) and tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
PRICE 29
DESCRIPTION Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) is a natural product, extracted from Pole Fork Kelaroa, and is a lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitor (IC50=8 ??M). Nordihydroguaiaretic acid possesses antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties.
DESCRIPTION Although we show the non-isomeric molecule, the approved drug masoprocol is a specific stereoisomer of NGDA, with IUPAC name 4-[(2S,3R)-4-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2,3-dimethylbutyl]benzene-1,2-diol (as shown in the PubChem record). The ChEMBL record displays the non-stereoisomeric molecule. PubChem lists 6 stereoisomers of this compound. (GtoPdb)
DESCRIPTION Nordihydroguaiaretic acid inhibits leukotriene B4 (LTB4) formation in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes mediated by 5-lipoxygenase with IC50 = 85 nM; for 5-lipoxygenase from rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-1) cells IC50 = 10 nM. It also inhibits cholinesterase (IC50= 0.78nM) and carbonic anhydrase 2 (Ki = 2.56 nM), carbonic anhydrase 1 (Ki = 2.81 nM) (Enamine Bioactive Compounds)
DESCRIPTION NDGA (Nordihydroguaiaretic acid), also known as masoprocol, is a naturally occurring antioxidant dicatechol originally derived from the creosote bush Larrea divaricatta with antipromoter, anti-inflammatory, and antineoplastic activities. NDGA directly inhibits activation of two receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), the insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) and the c-erbB2/HER2/neu receptor, resulting in decreased proliferation of susceptible tumor cell populations. This agent may induce apoptosis in susceptible tumor cell populations as a result of disruption of the actin cytoskeleton in association with the activation of stress activated protein kinases (SAPKs). In addition, NDGA inhibits arachidonic acid 5-lipoxygenase (5LOX), resulting in diminished synthesis of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrines; it may prevent leukocyte infiltration into tissues and the release of reactive oxygen species and, at higher concentrations, may also inhibit cyclooxygenase.
