127-27-5 Usage
Description
Pimaric acid is a resin acid that has been found in A. cordata and various pines. It reduces mRNA expression, protein levels, and promoter activity of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in TNF-α-stimulated human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) in a concentration-dependent manner when used at concentrations ranging from 5 to 20 μM. Pimaric acid (10-20 μM) reduces nuclear expression and binding of the transcription factors NF-κB and AP-1 to the MMP-9 promoter in HASMCs. Pimaric acid also reduces TNF-α-induced HASMC migration to control levels when used at a concentration of 20 μg/ml.
Uses
A novel activators of large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel α-subunit.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 127-27-5 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 1,2 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 127-27:
(5*1)+(4*2)+(3*7)+(2*2)+(1*7)=45
45 % 10 = 5
So 127-27-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
