| Bioactivity | Clovamide (trans-Clovamide), a natural phenolic compound, is a potent antioxidant. Clovamide is an excellent ROS and oxygen radical scavenger. Clovamide also has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects[1][2]. Clovamide is an anti-microbial with activity against the human pathogens influenza A subtype H5N1, Trypanosoma evansi, and Heliobacter pylori[3]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Clovamide is able to protect neurons from injury in three in vitro models of neuronal death: oxidative stress, excitotoxicity and OGD/reoxygenation. In SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells, Clovamide (10-100 µM) significantly protects cell death, with an EC50 value of 3.6 µM. Clovamide also significantly enhances PPARγ expression[2].Clovamide inhibits growth of three pathogens of cacao in the genus Phytophthora, is a substrate for cacao polyphenol oxidase, and is a contributor to enzymatic browning. Clovamide inhibiteds proteinase and pectinase in vitro[3]. | ||||||||||||
