Gene context of Actinex

  • The IC50 values were 0.43, 0.72, and 0.42 microg/mL, respectively, whereas the IC50 values for nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) on 5-, 12-, and 15-LOX were 2.3, 1.6, and 1.7 microg/mL, respectively [19].
  • Moreover, both NDGA (30 mumol/mouse) and quercetin (10 mumol/mouse) inhibited the restoring effect of PGE2 [20].
  • The results of these in vitro and in vivo experiments suggest that the antilipolytic activity of masoprocol is secondary to its ability to inhibit HSL phosphorylation, possibly by increasing phosphatase activity [8].
  • In the present study we showed that overexpression of Galpha(z) or Galpha(i2) significantly suppresses the disassembly of the Golgi apparatus induced by NDGA [21].
  • In the presence of NDGA, both ACTH and angiotensin II were still able to stimulate corticosteroid production [22].
