Desmethoxyyangonin

Description: 1. Desmethoxyyangonin (5,6-Dehydrokavain) protects LPS or LPS/D-GalN-induced damages in cell or liver tissues mainly through de-regulating IKK/NFkappaB and Jak2/STAT3 signaling pathways. 2. The induction of CYP3A23 by dihydromethysticin and Desmethoxy yangonin involves transcription activation, probably through a PXR-independent or PXR-involved indirect mechanism. Target: Monoamine Oxidase, Others. Smiles: COc1cc(\C=C\c2ccccc2)oc(=O)c1. References: Ma Y , Sachdeva K , Liu J , et al. Desmethoxyyangonin and dihydromethysticin are two major pharmacological kavalactones with marked activity on the induction of CYP3A23[J].
