Sesamin

1) Cat. No.: TRC-S280500; 2) Chemical Name: Sesamin; 3) CAS No.: 607-80-7; 4) Mol. Formula: C20H18O6; 5) Mol. Weight: 354.35; 6) Packing Size: 500mg / 5g; 7) Appearence: White Solid; 8) Application Notes: A lignan isolated from the bark of Fagara plants and from sesame oil. Studies show that it has has multiple functions such as cholesterol-lowering and anti-hypertensive activities. It induces the expression of the gene for aldehyde dehydrogenase, an alcohol-metabolizing enzyme suggesting it regulates the metabolism of lipids, xenobiotics, and alcohol at the mRNA level.; 9) Synonym: (1S,3aR,4S,6aR)-5,5'-(Tetrahydro-1H,3H-furo[3,4-c]furan-1,4-diyl)bis-1,3-benzodioxole; (+)-Sesamin; Fagarol; NSC 36403; Sesamin; Sezamin; d-Sesamin; 5,5'-(Tetrahydro-1H,3H-furo[3,4-c]furan-1,4-diyl)bis-1,3-benzodioxole; [1S-(1α,3aα,4α,6aα)]-5,5'-(Tetrahydro-1H,3H-furo[3,4-c]furan-1,4-diyl)bis-1,3-benzodioxole; Tetrahydro-1,4-bis[3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenyl]-1H,3H-furo[3,4-c]furan; (1S,3aR,4S,6aR)-Tetrahydro-1,4-bis[3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenyl]-1H,3H-Furo[3,4-c]furan; ; 10) Solubility: Chloroform, DMSO; 11) Storage condition: -20˚C Freezer; 12) References: Matsumura, Y. et al.: Biolog.
