 Use of Rhapontigenin


Rhapontigenin is a natural analog of resveratrol with anticancer, antioxidant, antifungal and antibacterial activities. Rhapontigenin is amechanism-based, potent and selective cytochrome P450 1A1 inactivator (IC50 = 400 nM). Rhapontigenin exhibits 400-fold and 23-fold selectivity for P450 1A1 over P450 1A2 and P450 1B1, respectively[1].

Summary: Rhapontigenin, Chinese name: 丹叶大黄素, CAS number: 500-65-2, molecular formula: C15H14O4, molecular weight: 258.269. Appearance: white or pale gray crystalline powder,熔点: 186-187°C, density: 1.3±0.1 g/cm³. For research-use only, not for medical or clinical usage.

In Vitro Rhapontigenin (0-250 μM; 24 hours) demonstrates concentration-dependent anti-cancer activity with an IC50 115μM in HEP G2 cells[1]. Rhapontigenin (20 μM; 20 hours) pre-treatment decreases TGF-β triggered increased snail expression in diverse cancer cells[2]. Rhapontigenin (0-20 μM; 6 hours) inhibits TGF-β-induced expression of N-cadherin, vimentin, and CA9 in a dose-dependent manner[2]. Rhapontigenin inhibits ADP- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation with IC50 values of 4 and 70 μg/ml, respectively[3]. Rhapontigenin demonstrates a strong inhibitory activity on the 13-hexosaminidase release induced by DNP-BSA, it exhibits IC50 value of 0.03 mM in RBL 2H3 cells[3]. Western Blot Analysis[2] Cell Line: HeLa, A549,769-P cells Concentration: 0 μM; 2.5 μM; 5 μM; 10 μM; 20 μM Incubation Time: 6 hours Result: Induced ubiquitination and degradation of HIF-1α.
In Vivo Rhapontigenin (intraperitoneal injection; 25mg/kg) shows significant protection from death due to pulmonary thrombosis in mice, those samples are orally administered 90 min before tail vein injection of epinephrine and collagen[3]. Animal Model: ICR mice[3] Dosage: 25mg/kg Administration: 25mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection Result: Showed anti-thrombosis activity with 60% protection.
