Description
Loureirin A is a chalcone extracted from the red resin of the herbs of Dracaena cochinchinensis, which is known as Dragon's Blood. It is a part of traditional Chinese medicine which helps combat neurodegenerative diseases. It inhibits platelet activation by an impairment of PI3K/Akt signaling. It also could inhibit Akt phosphorylation. It negatively affects agonist-induced platelet aggregation such as ADP, collagen, thrombin and collagen-related peptide (CRP). It promotes hair follicle stem cells (FSCs)-seeded tissue-engineered skin to repair skin wound by activating Wnt/-catenin pathway.
