Product Data:
Biological target: NK-252 is a Nrf2 activator.
In vitro activity: The aim of the present study was to investigate whether oxaliplatin could exert anticancer effects on CRC by promoting ferroptosis and oxidative stress. Furthermore, after treating cells with the Nrf2 activator, NK-252, Fe2+ was detected in cells using a commercial kit. Reference: Exp Ther Med. 2022 Jun;23(6):394. doi: 10.3892/etm.2022.11321. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35495610/
In vivo activity: For in vivo animal model studies, we used rats on a choline-deficient L-amino acid-defined (CDAA) diet, which demonstrate pathologic findings similar to those seen in human NASH. The administration of OPZ or NK-252 significantly attenuated the progression of histologic abnormalities in rats on a CDAA diet, especially hepatic fibrosis.
