| Application: | Chromogenic reagent for antimony in the low ppm range and for gallium and indium in the sub-ppm range. |
| Application: | Kaempferol (KAE) has been used: • to check its potential effect as an antioxidant and neuroprotective agent against rotenone-induced Parkinson′s disease (PD) model in SH-S5Y5 cells • to test its anti-inflammatory effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory injury in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) • to study its apoptosis sensitizing effect on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells by inhibiting nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Potent inhibitor of osteoclastic bone resorption. The effect is believed to be attributable to both the antioxidant and estrogenic activities of kaempferol. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | The diphenylpropane component of Kaempferol contributes to its hydrophobic properties. It has shown to revert the transformed phenotype of phorbol ester-treated mouse fibroblasts or v-H-ras-transformed NIH 3T3 cells. Kaempferol induces significant nuclear DNA degradation concurrent with lipid peroxidation. It also inhibits topoisomerase I catalyzed DNA religation. Kaempferol may also inhibit the activity of fatty acid synthase. |
| General description: | Kaempferol is a natural dietary flavonoid and a polyphenol antioxidant found in various fruits and vegetables. Kaempferol is present in plants in a different glycosidic form such as astragalin by binding with different sugars. |
| Packaging: | Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone. |
