| The (R)-enantiomer of alkannin is known as shikonin, and the racemic mixture of the two is known as shikalkin. Shikonin is a naphthoquinone derivative primarily isolated from the roots of plants in the Boraginaceae family (e.g., Lithospermum erythrorhizon). Shikonin is the main active component of a Chinese medicinal plant 'Zi Cao' -Shikonin is a major component of zicao (purple gromwell, the dried root of Lithospermum erythrorhizon), a Chinese herbal medicine with anti-inflammatory properties -Quinone methides (QMs) are highly reactive intermediates formed from natural compounds like shikonin -ic50 cancer cells 1-10uM, normal cells >10uM -known as Glycolysis inhibitor: ( inhibit pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2*******), a key enzyme in the glycolytic pathway) Available from mcsformulas.com Shikonin Pro Liposomal, 30 mg Also In Glycolysis Inhibithree(100 mg PHLORIZIN,10 mg TANSHINONE IIA, 8 mg Shikonin) -Note half-life15-30mins or 8hr?.

| IL-10 is a multifaceted immune-suppressive cytokine and possesses immune-regulatory and angiogenic functions. It primarily acts as an anti-inflammatory cytokine, protecting the body from an uncontrolled immune response, mostly through the Jak1/Tyk2 and STAT3 signaling pathway. On the other hand, IL-10 can also have immunostimulating functions under certain conditions. The role of IL-10 in tumor pathogenesis is currently highly controversial, with some findings showing that IL-10 promotes tumor development and angiogenesis, while others supporting that it inhibits tumor growth and metastasis. IL-10 is often expressed in various cancers, including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, melanoma, and lymphoma. Its expression can vary significantly depending on the tumor type and the immune context. Elevated levels of IL-10 are frequently associated with the presence of tumor-infiltrating immune cells, particularly Tregs and M2 macrophages. |
