CW 008 is an activator of the cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway. It promotes osteogenicdifferentiation of human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells in vitro and increases bone mass and bone volume density in ovariectomized mice.
7,4'-Dihydroxy-8-methylflavan can significantly promote mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) osteogenicdifferentiation by increasing the levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. 7,4'-Dihydroxy-8-methylflavan also has free radical scavenging properties.
Glycinol enhances osteogenicdifferentiation and attenuates the effects of age on mesenchymal stem cells, it could as a potential preventive or treatment for osteoporosis. Glycinol also has antidiuretic activity.
