Genipin is an active aglycone derived from an iridoid glycoside called geniposide, which is found in the fruit of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. Genipin is a hydrolytic product of geniposide. Genipin has been used in traditional Chinese medicine. Genipin is used in traditional Chinese medicine to relieve the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. Genipin is an excellent natural cross-linker for proteins, collagen, gelatin, and chitosan cross-linking. Genipin has a low acute toxicity, with LD50 i.v. 382 mg/kg in mice. Therefore, much less toxic than glutaraldehyde and many other commonly used synthetic cross-linking regents. Genipin is also used for pharmaceutical purposes, such as choleretic action for liver diseases control. Furthermore，genipin can be used as a cross-linking agent for immobilized enzyme, the regulating agent for compound delivery, the raw materials for gardenia blue pigment preparation,as well as the intermediate for alkaloid synthetic etc. Genipin is a naturally occurring material that shows great potential as a use in biomaterials and also as a fingerprint reagent.

| Vacuolin-1
Vacuolin-1 is a cell-permeable inhibitor of Ca2+ dependent fusion of lysosomes to the cell membrane. Vacuolin-1 blocks the Ca2+-dependent exocytosis of lysosomes and prevents the release of lysosomal content without affecting the process of resealing. vacuolin‐1 is a potent and selective PIKfyve inhibitor and inhibits late‐stage autophagy by impairing lysosomal maturation. |
