| Bioactivity | (5E,9E,13E)-Teprenone ((5E,9E,13E)-Geranylgeranylacetone) is an isomer of Teprenone with antiulcer activity. (5E,9E,13E)-Teprenone induces transcriptional activation of HSP genes that may increase gastric mucosal defense at conditions of stress[1]. |
| Invitro | (5E,9E,13E)-Teprenone might transiently activate the transcription of HSP70 gene[1].The heat shock element–binding activity reflects the activation of heat shock factor 1 in response to (5E,9E,13E)-Teprenone[1]. |
| In Vivo | (5E,9E,13E)-Teprenone induces hat sock proteins accumulations in rat gastric mucosa[1]. Animal Model: |
