alpha-Cyperone (Standard)

• UNSPSC Description:

  alpha-Cyperone (Standard) is the analytical standard of alpha-Cyperone. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. alpha-Cyperone (α-Cyperone) is associated with the down-regulation of COX-2, IL-6, Nck-2, Cdc42 and Rac1, resulting in reduction of inflammation, which would be highly beneficial for treatment of inflammatory diseases such as AD.
