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.
