Cimifugin

Biochemicals / Biochem-Fine Chemicals

4°C

Highly Purified

Cimifugin, isolated from Peucedanum schottii, displays low to moderate inhibition towards AChE and BChE (3.12 and 21.63%, respectively) at 200ug ml-1.[1]
Cimifugin appears to inhibit FITC-induced type 2 allergic contact dermatitis and its mechanism might be related to regulating the balance of Th1 /Th2 by inhibiting type 2 cytokines.[2]
