Biological Activity

[Description]:

Geranylgeraniol is an orally acitve vitamin K2 sub-type, an intermediate of the mevalonate pathway. Geranylgeraniol targets NF-kB signaling pathway and could alleviate LPS-induced microglial inflammation in animal model[1][2][3][4].

[Target]

NF-kB[1]

[In Vitro]

Geranylgeraniol (0-10 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently suppresses the LPS-induced increase in the mRNA levels of Il-1β, Tnf-α, Il-6, and Cox-2[1]. Geranylgeraniol (10 μM; 24 h) inhibits the phosphorylation of TAK1, IKKα/β, and NF-κB p65 proteins as well as NF-κB nuclear translocation induced by LPS while maintaining IκBα expression[1]. Geranylgeraniol, (50 μM; 24 h) eliminates cell damage caused by Simvastatin (HY-17502) (10 µM) and Mevalonat (10 mM), and reduces the inflammatory marker and the damage of the mitochondria, maintaining its shape and component[2]. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: MG6 cell Concentration: 0, 1, 10 μM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Suppressed by TAK1, IKKα/β, and NF-κB p65 proteins level at 10 μM. RT-PCR[1] Cell Line: MG6 cell Concentration: 10 μM Incubation Time: 0, 6, 12, 24 hours Result: Significantly inhibited pro-inflammatory cytokine Il-1β, Tnf-α, Il-6, and Cox-2 mRNA level.

[In Vivo]

Geranylgeraniol (725 mg/kg/d; p.o.; 90 d) is not toxicologically significant with a dose below 725 mg/kg/d in rats[3]. Geranylgeraniol (483 mg/kg/d; p.o.; 10 d) suppresses lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation via inhibition of nuclear factor-κB activation in rats[4]. Animal Model: Han Wistar rats (169-192 g for male; 116-152 g for female)[3] Dosage: 0, 725, 1450, and 2900 mg/kg Administration: Oral gavage; once daily; 90 days Result: Showed the lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) for local effects and the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for systemic effects as 725 mg/kg/d. Reduced body weights by 12.9 and 21.6% in the intermediate- and high-dose group males, respectively, compared to controls. Animal Model: Wistar rats (male, 8-week-old, 130-150 g)[4] Dosage: 0, 48.3, 483, 4830 mg/kg Administration: Oral gavage; once daily; 10 days; with or not LPS challenge (i.p.; 0.5 mg/kg) Result: Suppressed LPS-induced inflammatory cytokines and mRNA expression of LPS-induced inflammatory genes in liver with doses of 483 mg/kg and 4830 mg/kg. Suppressed protein levels of IRAK1, TRAF6, and TAK1, originating from transcriptional down-regulation with doses of 483 mg/kg and 4830 mg/kg.
