What is AURANTIO-OBTUSIN?

Description

Aurantioobtusin is an anthraquinone originally isolated from Cassia seeds with diverse biological activities. It inhibits rat lens aldose reductase (RLAR) in vitro (IC₅₀ = 13.6 μM). Aurantioobtusin (10 and 100 μM) activates the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in a concentration-dependent manner. It inhibits rat platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid (Item Nos. 90010 | 90010.1 | 10006607), ADP, and collagen. Aurantioobtusin induces vasorelaxation in isolated precontracted rat mesenteric artery rings, an effect that is inhibited by the PI3K inhibitor LY290042 or inhibition of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). It is larvicidal against A. gambiae mosquitoes (LD₅₀ = 10 ppm).
