Product Description
4',5-Dihydroxyflavone is a flavonoid analog acting as a soybean LOX-1 and yeast α-Glucosidase inhibitor, with an Ki of 102.6 μM for soybean LOX-1 and an IC50 of 66 μM for yeast α-glucosidase.
4',5-Dihydroxyflavone (CAS 6665-67-4) is a flavonoid analog with a molecular formula of C₁₅H₁₀O₄ and a molecular weight of 254.24 g/mol. It acts as an inhibitor of soybean lipoxygenase-1 (LOX-1) and yeast α-glucosidase. It is a yellow powder and is also known as 5,4'-Dihydroxyflavone. This compound is a valuable research tool for studying the inhibition of these two important enzymes, which are targets for anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic therapies, respectively.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
4',5-Dihydroxyflavone targets two key enzymes: soybean lipoxygenase-1 (LOX-1) and yeast α-glucosidase. It acts as a non-competitive or competitive inhibitor of these enzymes, with a Ki of 102.6 μM for soybean LOX-1 and an IC₅₀ of 66 μM for yeast α-glucosidase.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 4',5-Dihydroxyflavone is a potent inhibitor of soybean LOX-1 (Ki = 102.6 μM) and yeast α-glucosidase (IC₅₀ = 66 μM). This dual inhibitory activity makes it a useful tool for studying both inflammatory pathways (via LOX inhibition) and carbohydrate metabolism (via α-glucosidase inhibition).
ln Vivo
In vivo, the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of 4',5-Dihydroxyflavone suggests potential applications in managing postprandial blood glucose levels, similar to other α-glucosidase inhibitors used for type 2 diabetes. However, its in vivo efficacy and safety have not been extensively studied.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro non-cell enzyme assays for 4',5-Dihydroxyflavone involve measuring the inhibition of soybean LOX-1 activity using a spectrophotometric assay that monitors the formation of conjugated dienes from linoleic acid. α-Glucosidase inhibition is measured using a chromogenic substrate (e.g., p-nitrophenyl-α-D-glucopyranoside), and the release of p-nitrophenol is monitored.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for 4',5-Dihydroxyflavone use cell lines to study its effects on inflammation and glucose metabolism. For anti-inflammatory activity, macrophages are treated with the compound and stimulated with LPS, and the production of inflammatory mediators (e.g., leukotrienes) is measured. For anti-diabetic activity, intestinal epithelial cells (e.g., Caco-2) are used to study the inhibition of glucose uptake.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for 4',5-Dihydroxyflavone would likely involve oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) in rodent models of diabetes to assess its ability to reduce postprandial blood glucose levels. Its anti-inflammatory effects could be studied in models of acute inflammation, such as carrageenan-induced paw edema.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
4',5-Dihydroxyflavone has a molecular weight of 254.24 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₁₅H₁₀O₄. It is a flavonoid with a purity of ≥98%. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters, such as oral bioavailability, have not been extensively characterized.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of 4',5-Dihydroxyflavone has not been fully characterized. As a flavonoid, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. However, comprehensive toxicological studies are needed.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ≥ 155 mg/mL (~609.66 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.58 mg/mL (10.15 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.58 mg/mL (10.15 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

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)
