25S-Inokosterone and 25R-inokosterone exhibit potent inhibition (80-95% at ) against TNF-expression levels in A23187 plus phorbol-myrisrate acetate-induced RBL-2H3 cells, they have excellent anti-atopy activity, thus they could be used to a large range of functional anti-atopy cosmetics.

5(6)-CFDA is a cell-permeant esterase substrate that can serve as a viability probe that measures both enzymatic activities.

Agmatine sulfate is a bioactive metabolite of the arginine amino acid. It exerts modulatory action at multiple molecular targets such as neurotransmitter systems ion channels and nitric oxide synthesis. It is an endogenous agonist at imidazoline receptor and a NO synthase inhibitor.
