Product Description
(±)-Decursinol is a potent FtsZ inhibitor. (±)-Decursinol inhibits FtsZ aggregation of B. anthracis with IC50 of 102 μM.
(±)-Decursinol (3',4'-dihydro-3'-hydroxy-Xanthyletin, CAS 5993-18-0) is a potent FtsZ inhibitor. It inhibits B. anthracis FtsZ polymerization with an IC50 of 102 μM. The compound is from Angelica and exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and neuroprotective effects. It also has potential therapeutic applications in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension and atherosclerosis, due to its vasodilatory and anti-platelet aggregation activities.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of (±)-Decursinol is FtsZ (filamenting temperature-sensitive mutant Z), a protein essential for bacterial cell division. By inhibiting FtsZ polymerization, the compound prevents bacterial cell division. The compound also targets pathways involved in inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuroprotection. Additionally, it has vasodilatory and anti-platelet aggregation activities. These targets make it relevant for antibacterial, cardiovascular, and neuroprotective research.
ln Vitro
In vitro, (±)-Decursinol inhibits B. anthracis FtsZ polymerization with an IC50 of 102 μM. It demonstrates anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and neuroprotective effects. The compound also shows vasodilatory and anti-platelet aggregation activities. These in vitro activities support its use in research on antibacterial agents, cardiovascular diseases, inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuroprotection.
ln Vivo
In vivo, (±)-Decursinol has potential therapeutic applications in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis, due to its vasodilatory and anti-platelet aggregation activities. Its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and neuroprotective effects suggest potential applications in inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data are limited. Further studies are needed to evaluate its therapeutic potential in animal models.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for (±)-Decursinol involve measuring FtsZ polymerization inhibition. The compound is incubated with B. anthracis FtsZ at concentrations ranging from 0.1-1000 μM, and polymerization is measured spectrophotometrically or by light scattering. IC50 values are determined. Antioxidant activity is assessed using DPPH or ABTS assays. Anti-inflammatory activity is assessed by measuring cytokine production. Anti-platelet aggregation is assessed using platelet-rich plasma. All assays include appropriate controls and reference compounds.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for (±)-Decursinol are conducted using various cell lines depending on the application. For antibacterial studies, B. anthracis cultures are used. For cardiovascular studies, endothelial cells or smooth muscle cells are used. Cells are treated with compound concentrations ranging from 0.1-1000 μM for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT assays. Inflammatory cytokine production is measured by ELISA. Platelet aggregation is assessed using aggregometry. Experiments include vehicle controls and positive controls.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies with (±)-Decursinol are limited, as the compound is primarily used as a research tool. Cardiovascular studies may be conducted in models of hypertension or atherosclerosis. Neuroprotection studies may be conducted in models of neurodegenerative diseases. Anti-inflammatory studies may be conducted in models of inflammation. The compound is administered via intraperitoneal or oral routes at doses ranging from 1-50 mg/kg. Each group consists of 6-10 animals with vehicle-treated controls.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of (±)-Decursinol have not been extensively characterized. As a small, lipophilic coumarin derivative, it is expected to have good oral bioavailability and tissue distribution. The compound is from Angelica and likely undergoes hepatic metabolism through oxidation and conjugation, with elimination via biliary and renal excretion. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, and AUC require further investigation.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for (±)-Decursinol indicate that it is generally well-tolerated at concentrations used for research. As a natural product from Angelica, it is expected to have a reasonable safety profile. No significant toxicity has been reported. However, comprehensive toxicological studies have not been conducted. As with all research chemicals, appropriate safety precautions should be taken during handling.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
