Description: Cyclooxygenase inhibitor
Chemical Name: 5-[(1E)-2-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)ethenyl]-1,3,benzenediol
Purity: ≥98% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a phytoestrogen with antitumor, antioxidant, antiplatelet, anti-inflammatory and antifungal effects. Inhibits cytochrome P450 1A1 (IC50 = 23 μM) and displays mixed agonist/antagonist actions at ERα and ERβ estrogen receptors. Converted into the anticancer agent piceatannol (Cat. No. 1554) by cytochrome P450 1B1. Activates autophagy. Also activates TRPA1 in prostate cancer-associated fibroblasts. Also SIRT1 activator.
Compound Libraries for Resveratrol
Resveratrol is also offered as part of the Tocriscreen 2.0 Max, Tocriscreen Antiviral Library and Tocriscreen Epigenetics Library. Find out more about compound libraries available from Tocris.
