Cochlioquinone A
Application Notes
Cochlioquinone A is the major component of a bioactive pigment isolated from Bipolaris leersia. Cochlioquinone A has recently been shown to be an antagonist of the human chemokine receptor, CCR5, in HIV-1. Cochlioquinone A is anti-angiogenic and exhibits inhibitory activity against diacylglycerol acyltransferase and NADH-ubiquinone reductase.
