Keap1-Nrf2

Oltipraz inhibits HIF-1alpha activity and HIF-1alpha-dependent tumor growth, which may result from a decrease in HIF-1alpha stability through S6K1 inhibition in combination with an H2O2-scavenging effect.

RTA-408 is a synthetic triterpenoid that potently activates the antioxidative transcription factor Nrf2 and inhibits the proinflammatory transcription factor NF-kB.

NK-252 is a Nrf2 activator, exhibits a greater Nrf2-activating potential than OPZ.

ML-385 is an inhibitor of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) with IC50 value of 1.9 μM.

Methionine is a sulfur-containing essential L-amino acid that is important in many body functions.

4-Octyl Itaconate is a cell-permeable Itaconate derivative. Itaconate is an anti-inflammatory metabolite that activates Nrf2 via alkylation of KEAP1.

TBHQ (tert-Butylhydroquinone) is a widely used Nrf2 activator, protects against Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity through activation of Nrf2.

Hesperin is a bioactive ingredient present in Japanese horseradish (wasabi) and has been shown to be an Nrf2 activator.

β-Thujaplicin is a toxic tropolone derivative present in the heartwood of western red cedar (Thuja plicata) and is used as a preservative and antimicrobial additive in a number of commercial goods.

Sulforaphane activates Nrf2 and inhibits high glucose-induced progression of pancreatic cancer via AMPK dependent signaling. Sulforaphane has shown anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities.

Coniferaldehyde (Ferulaldehyde), isolated from the ethanol extract of Vitex rotundifolia fruits, is an effective inducer of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1).
