Product Description
6-Demethoxytangeretin 6-Demethoxytritylxanthine is a natural flavonoid extracted from citrus (Citrus reticulata). 6-Demethoxytangeretin has anti~inflammatory and anti-allergy activities and inhibits IL-6 production and gene expression in human mast cells through the anaplastic lymphomKinase (ALK) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. 6-Demethoxytangeretin promotes CRE-mediated transcription (associated with learning and memory in hippocampal neurons).
6-Demethoxytangeretin (CAS 6601-66-7) is a polymethoxyflavone (PMF) isolated from citrus fruits, particularly Citrus reticulata (mandarin orange) and Citrus depressa. With a molecular formula of C₁₉H₁₈O₆ and a molecular weight of 342.34 g/mol, this flavonoid compound is characterized by the presence of multiple methoxy groups on the flavone backbone. 6-Demethoxytangeretin is structurally related to tangeretin but lacks the methoxy group at the 6-position, which influences its biological activity profile. The compound exhibits a range of pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anticancer, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects. It is known to facilitate CRE-mediated transcription in hippocampal neurons, which is associated with learning and memory processes. The compound is a potent inhibitor of interleukin-6 (IL-6) production in human mast cells through the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. As a research compound, 6-Demethoxytangeretin is used in studies of inflammation, allergy, neurodegeneration, and cancer, with applications in both cell-based and biochemical assays.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
6-Demethoxytangeretin targets multiple signaling pathways and proteins. Its primary targets include anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), p38 MAPK, ERK, JNK, JAK, STAT, and Akt. The compound modulates the MAPK/ERK pathway, the JAK/STAT signaling pathway, and the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. It also affects interleukin-related signaling and immunology/inflammation pathways. By inhibiting ALK and MAPK phosphorylation, 6-Demethoxytangeretin suppresses the production and gene expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in human mast cells. Additionally, the compound facilitates CRE-mediated transcription, which is involved in learning and memory processes in hippocampal neurons. Its multi-target profile makes it a valuable tool for studying interconnected inflammatory and neurodegenerative signaling networks.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies have demonstrated that 6-Demethoxytangeretin exerts potent anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic activities. At concentrations ranging from 0.8 to 20 μM, the compound inhibits the expression and production of IL-6 and other inflammatory factors in HMC-1 human mast cells stimulated with Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and Calcimycin. This inhibition is achieved through suppression of ALK and MAPK phosphorylation. The compound also facilitates CRE-mediated transcription in cultured hippocampal neurons, suggesting a role in learning and memory enhancement. Furthermore, 6-Demethoxytangeretin regulates signaling pathways associated with oxidative stress, apoptosis, and tumor growth inhibition. Its antioxidant properties contribute to its cytoprotective effects in various cell models.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for 6-Demethoxytangeretin are limited, as the compound is primarily used in in vitro research settings. Based on its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties observed in vitro, the compound may have potential therapeutic applications in inflammatory diseases and neurodegenerative disorders. However, specific published in vivo studies evaluating the efficacy and pharmacokinetics of 6-Demethoxytangeretin in animal models are not well documented. The compound's polymethoxyflavone structure suggests it may have reasonable oral bioavailability, as other PMFs such as tangeretin and nobiletin are known to be absorbed and metabolized in vivo.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro non-cell enzyme/receptor binding assays for 6-Demethoxytangeretin typically involve kinase inhibition assays to evaluate its effects on ALK, MAPK, and other signaling kinases. These assays use purified recombinant kinases incubated with the compound and ATP in appropriate buffer systems, with kinase activity measured using radioactive or fluorescence-based detection methods. Binding affinity to target proteins can be assessed using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Competitive binding assays may be employed to determine IC₅₀ values for specific kinase targets.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for 6-Demethoxytangeretin commonly use HMC-1 human mast cells or other relevant cell lines. Cells are cultured in appropriate media and stimulated with PMA and calcimycin to induce inflammatory responses. Following treatment with 6-Demethoxytangeretin at various concentrations (typically 0.8-20 μM for 1-6.5 hours), IL-6 and other inflammatory cytokine levels in the culture supernatant are measured by ELISA. Gene expression is analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR. Phosphorylation of ALK and MAPK proteins is assessed by Western blotting using phospho-specific antibodies. In neuronal studies, CRE-mediated transcription is evaluated using reporter gene assays in cultured hippocampal neurons.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for 6-Demethoxytangeretin are not extensively documented. Based on standard protocols for evaluating flavonoid compounds, potential in vivo studies would involve oral administration of the compound to rodent models of inflammation (e.g., carrageenan-induced paw edema, LPS-induced inflammation) or neurodegenerative disease. Parameters assessed would include inflammatory cytokine levels in serum and tissues, histological examination, behavioral tests for cognitive function, and analysis of signaling pathway activation in target tissues. However, specific published protocols for this compound are limited.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
6-Demethoxytangeretin has a molecular weight of 342.34 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₁₉H₁₈O₆. It is soluble in DMSO at concentrations up to 12.5 mg/mL (36.51 mM) with ultrasonic and heating to 60°C. The compound should be stored as a powder at -20°C for up to three years or at 4°C protected from light. In solvent, it can be stored at -80°C for six months or at -20°C for one month. For in vivo formulations, a 10% DMSO in 90% corn oil solution can be prepared. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters have not been extensively characterized.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of 6-Demethoxytangeretin has not been comprehensively evaluated in published studies. As a naturally occurring citrus flavonoid, it is generally considered to have low toxicity, consistent with the safety profile of other polymethoxyflavones found in citrus fruits. The compound is classified as a research reagent and is not intended for human therapeutic use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound. Comprehensive toxicological studies, including acute, subchronic, and chronic toxicity assessments, have not been reported in the literature.
