Description

• General description: Oxyresveratrol (OXY or ORV) is a naturally occurring polyphenolic stilbene that is predominantly present in the heartwood of many plants.[1][2] It is primarily extracted from Artocarpus lakoocha Roxb. plant[3][4], and is one of the main constituents of this plant.[1] ORV has a very simple chemical structure with a trans-1,2-diphenylethylene in its core and two hydroxyls (OH) groups attached to each aromatic ring.[2]
• Application: Oxyresveratrol has been used:with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles to test its antioxidant effects and to investigate its role in the inhibition of superoxide anion (O2-) generation[3]to test its effects as an anti-neuroinflammatory agent on interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)-induced HMC3 human microglial cell line[4]as a reference standard to determine its existence in Artocarpus lakoocha Roxb. (AL) extract using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)[1]
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Oxyresveratrol is well-known due to its diverse biological and pharmacological properties.[2] It is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.[2] ORV also exerts neuroprotective activities and protects against cerebral ischemia, stroke, and several neurodegenerative disorders.[2] It also displays anti-cancer, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective properties and protects against several other metabolic disorders.[2] It is also a potent tyrosinase inhibitor.[2]
• Packaging: Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
