| Targets |
5-Hydroxyflavone targets multiple enzymes and pathways. It is a potent inhibitor of CYP1A1, an enzyme involved in the activation of procarcinogens. It also acts as an inhibitor of COX-2-catalyzed PGE-2 production. It shows activity in the AR agonist pathway. Furthermore, it has been shown to have potent antioxidant effects in vivo, protecting mitochondria from oxidative damage.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
5-Hydroxyflavone exhibits in vitro activity as a CYP1A1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.07 µM. It inhibits COX-2 catalyzed PGE-2 production by 45.0% at a 10 µM concentration in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. It shows no cytotoxic activity against MCF-7, FaDU, MDA-MB-435S, U87, RPE-1, and HEK293 cells, indicating a favorable safety profile in these cell lines.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, 5-hydroxyflavone has been shown to have potent antioxidant effects. It has been found to protect mitochondria from oxidative damage by inhibiting the production of reactive oxygen species and increasing the mitochondrial membrane potential. Its role as an AR agonist suggests potential for further in vivo studies in hormone-related pathways.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular assays for 5-hydroxyflavone involve measuring its enzyme inhibitory activity. CYP1A1 inhibition assays typically use recombinant CYP1A1 enzyme and a fluorogenic substrate (e.g., 7-ethoxyresorufin) in the presence of varying concentrations of the compound. The decrease in fluorescent product formation is measured to determine the IC50. COX-2 inhibition can be assessed using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) to measure the production of PGE-2.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for 5-hydroxyflavone are conducted in cell lines such as LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages to assess its anti-inflammatory activity by measuring PGE-2 production. Cytotoxicity is assessed in various cell lines, including MCF-7, FaDU, MDA-MB-435S, U87, RPE-1, and HEK293 cells, using standard cell viability assays (e.g., MTT). Its antioxidant activity can be studied in cells by measuring ROS production and mitochondrial membrane potential.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with 5-hydroxyflavone are conducted to study its antioxidant and potential anti-inflammatory effects. Animal models of oxidative stress can be used to assess its ability to protect mitochondria and reduce ROS production. Its effects on the AR pathway could be studied in appropriate animal models of hormone-dependent conditions.

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1 mg/mL (4.20 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 10.0 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.
