Diosmin (Venosmine) is a bioflavonoid that strengthens vascular walls.

Indole-3-carbinol (I3C), a naturally occurring, orally available cleavage product of the glucosinolate glucobrassicanin, inhibits NF-κB and IκBα kinase activation.

Carbidopa (Lodosyn) is an aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase inhibitor (IC50: 29±2 μM). It is used in PARKINSON DISEASE to reduce peripheral adverse effects of LEVODOPA.

Tapinarof (Benvitimod) is targeted as a topical cream treatment for psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune skin disease.

Norisoboldine hydrochloride, an orally active aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonist and a prominent isoquinoline alkaloid found in Radix Linderae, is utilized for research purposes in the study of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ulcerative Colitis [1] [2].

Flavipin, an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) agonist, activates Ahr downstream gene expression in mouse CD4+ T cells and CD11b+ macrophages. This compound disrupts the stabilizing effect of Arid5a on the newly identified target mRNA, Il23a 3′UTR. Additionally, Flavipin demonstrates significant antioxidant properties, evidenced by its DPPH free radical scavenging capability with an IC50 value of 7.2 μM, and exhibits potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 33.8 μM.

3',4'-Dimethoxyflavone is a reference standard for flavonoid compounds, which have a variety of medicinal activities.

Skatole (3-Methyl-1H-indole) is produced by intestinal bacteria. Skatole regulates intestinal epithelial cellular functions through activating aryl hydrocarbon receptors and p38.

L-Kynurenine ((S)-Kynurenine) is a key intermediate in the breakdown pathway of tryptophan. L-Kynurenine is a substrate of kynureninase, KMO, and KAT associated with the suppression of antitumor immune responses. It has been shown to inhibit allogeneic T-cell proliferation and to increase malignant U87 glioma cell invasion into a collagen matrix.

Potassium 1H-indol-3-yl sulfate (Potassium 3-indoxyl sulfate) is an agonist for the human Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR). The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) has recently emerged as a pathophysiological regulator of immune-inflammatory conditions and potassium 1H-indol-3-yl sulfate has been shown to be a ligand for AhR. Potassium 1H-indol-3-yl sulfate is also a metabolite of tryptophan derived from dietary protein. Tryptophan is metabolized by intestinal bacteria into indole, which is absorbed into the blood and then further metabolized to indoxyl sulfate in the liver, which is normally excreted in urine. In chronic kidney disease patients where renal function is compromised, potassium 1H-indol-3-yl sulfate can accumulate in serum as a uremic toxin, inducing oxidative stress and accelerating progression of the disease. Potassium 1H-indol-3-yl sulfate at 250 μM can induce the activation of NF-Κb, promoting the expression of both TGF-β1 and Smad3 expression in proximal tubular cells of rats, which is associated with profibrotic activity.

Indole-3-pyruvic acid (3-(3-Indolyl)-2-oxopropanoic acid) is a compound involved in the biosynthesis of Indole-3-acetic acid, a plant hormone which plays important roles in regulating growth and responses to environmental changes.

Brevifolincarboxylic acid is a natural product isolated from Polygonum capitatum, it has inhibitory effect on the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Brevifolincarboxylic acid is an α-glucosidase inhibitor with an IC50 of 323.46 μM.
