AD-9308
Based on 1 Customer Validation
AD-9308 is an orally active, highly selective aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) activator. AD-9308 alleviates oxidative stress, improves mitochondrial function, restores cell viability, reduces renal tubular injury, fibrosis and inflammatory responses, reverses ventricular remodeling, restores the activities of Dicer and superoxide dismutase, inhibits the IL-6 signaling pathway, reduces the accumulation of 4-HNE-protein adducts, and improves glucose homeostasis. AD-9308 can be used in studies related to acrolein-induced kidney injury, diabetes, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, diet-induced obesity, fatty liver, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance.
