    Product Description

    Gingerenone A is a diarylheptanoid and polyphenol that has been found in Z. officinale and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3,4,5 It inhibits tyrosinase (IC50 = 9.4 µM for the mushroom enzyme) and scavenges DPPH (Item No. 14805) radicals in a cell-free assay (IC50 = 12.6 µM).1,2 Gingerenone A (5 and 10 µM) also inhibits JAK2 and p70 ribosomal S6 kinase 1 (p70S6K1).3 It selectively decreases the viability of ionizing radiation-induced senescent WI38 fibroblasts over proliferating fibroblasts when used at a concentration of 20 µM.4 Gingerenone A (50 mg/kg) prevents increases in body weight but does not affect caloric intake in a mouse model of high-fat diet-induced obesity.5 It decreases tumor weight in an HCT116 colon cancer mouse xenograft model when administered at doses of 5 and 20 mg/kg.3
