产品描述:
Artemisinic acid is a sesquiterpene that has been isolated from A. annua.{41903} It has been used in the synthesis of the antimalarial agent artemisinin (Item No. 11816).{41904} Artemisinic acid (50-400 µM) decreases triglyceride levels and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity in human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) in a dose-dependent manner and inhibits adipocyte differentiation when used at a concentration of 200 µM.{41905} It reduces mRNA expression and protein levels of C/EBPα, C/EBPδ, and PPARγ as well as the ratio of phosphorylated JNK to JNK in hAMSCs. Artemisinic acid also decreases C/EBPα and HMG-CoA reductase mRNA expression and inhibits cholesterol synthesis and melanogenesis in human epidermal melanocytes.{41906}
