    Bifendate
    		Activator 99.91%
    Bifendate (DDB), extracted from Schisandrae chinensis, is an orally active anti-HBV agent against chronic hepatitis B. Bifendate inhibits ATG5-dependent autophagy and attenuates oleic acid-induced lipid accumulation with anti-oxidant properties in vitro. Bifendate can decrease alanine transaminase (ALT) level in mice. Bifendate attenuates hepatic steatosis in cholesterol/bile salt- and high-fat diet-induced hypercholesterolemia in mice. Bifendate potently increases the activity of cytochrome proteins (CYPs) and reverse P-gp-mediated multi-drug resistance (MDR).

    Xylitol
    		Activator ≥98.0%
    Xylitol can be classified as a polyol and sugar alcohol, exhibiting inhibitory activity on cancer cell proliferation. It induces autophagy (Autophagy) and cell death in A549 cells by activating the autophagy signaling pathway, as evidenced by the increased expression of LC3-II and Atg5-Atg12 upon Xylitol treatment. Additionally, Xylitol inhibits acetaldehyde production by Candida species, thereby reducing their carcinogenic potential. In vivo, Xylitol induces alterations in the gut microbiota of mice, which may enhance cholesterol accumulation and upregulate hepatic ChREBP, while also slowing tumor growth in the B16F10 melanoma C57BL/6 mouse model.
