| Bioactivity | Moracin P is a 2-arylbenzofuran isolated from the Mori Cortex Radicis. Moracin P exhibits potent in vitro inhibitory activity against hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1). Moracin P reduces oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Moracin P has neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects[1][2][3]. |
| Invitro | Moracin P enhances cell viability in dose-dependent manner against oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced cell death in neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells with an EC50 value of 10.4 μM. Moracin P reduces ROS production in OGD-induced cell death (IC50 values of 1.9 μM). Consequently, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are overexpressed in OGD-induced cells and Moracin P reduces ROS induced by OGD in dosedependent manner[1]. |
