| 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?.

| GADD153 and CHOP (C/EBP-homologous protein) refer to the same protein. GADD153 stands for "Growth Arrest and DNA Damage-inducible protein 153," while CHOP stands for "C/EBP Homologous Protein." DDIT3 (DNA Damage Inducible Transcript 3), also known as CHOP (C/EBP Homologous Protein), is a transcription factor that plays a significant role in the cellular response to stress, particularly in the context of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and apoptosis. CHOP is an important component of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response. Research has shown that knockdown of CHOP not only enhances tunicamycin-induced autophagy, but also significantly attenuates ER stress-induced apoptosis in human colon cancer cells. GADD153, also known as CHOP (C/EBP homologous protein), is a transcription factor that plays a significant role in cellular stress responses, particularly in the context of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response. It is part of the unfolded protein response (UPR), which is activated when there is an accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER. |
