Product Description
Damascenone is an active compound of Epipremnum pinnatum which has anti-inflammatory properties. E-isomer- and Z-isomer-Damascenone combine to form the compound known as damascenone.
Damascenone (CAS 23696-85-7), also known as β-Damascenone, is a mixture of E- and Z-isomers of a C13 megastigmane compound derived from Epipremnum pinnatum. It is a cyclic monoterpene ketone that exhibits significant anti-inflammatory properties. Damascenone is widely used in the fragrance industry as a key ingredient in perfumes and scented products, providing a floral and fruity aroma. In pharmacological research, it has been studied for its ability to inhibit inflammatory protein upregulation and NF-κB signaling.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Human Endogenous Metabolite
Damascenone targets the NF-κB signaling pathway, a master regulator of inflammation and immune responses. By inhibiting NF-κB-dependent transcription, the compound suppresses the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and leukocyte adhesion molecules including E-selectin. Damascenone also targets human endogenous metabolite pathways. The compound's mechanism involves inhibition of inflammatory protein upregulation, which may contribute to its anti-inflammatory effects in various cellular systems.
ln Vitro
Immune assays for cell surface E-selectin and secreted TNF-α showed that β-Damascenone also inhibits the upregulation of inflammatory proteins[1].
In vitro, when human cellular systems are activated by various inflammatory stimuli, β-Damascenone inhibits the NF-κB signaling pathway[1].
In vitro studies demonstrate that β-Damascenone inhibits the upregulation of inflammatory proteins, as shown by immune assays for cell surface E-selectin and secreted TNF-α. In human cellular systems activated with various inflammatory stimuli, β-Damascenone inhibits the NF-κB signaling pathway. Using a luciferase reporter construct, it has been shown that the compound inhibits NF-κB-dependent transcription. These findings confirm that inhibition of NF-κB represents one of the mechanisms underlying the in vitro anti-inflammatory activity of Damascenone.
ln Vivo
Specific in vivo data for Damascenone as an anti-inflammatory agent are limited. Most research has focused on in vitro characterization of its anti-inflammatory mechanisms. However, given its ability to inhibit NF-κB signaling and reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, the compound has potential for in vivo studies in animal models of inflammation, such as carrageenan-induced paw edema, DSS-induced colitis, or LPS-induced systemic inflammation. Such studies would evaluate the compound's efficacy in reducing inflammation, tissue damage, and inflammatory cytokine levels in vivo.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro anti-inflammatory activity is assessed using immune assays in human cellular systems. Cells (e.g., endothelial cells, monocytes, or macrophages) are activated with inflammatory stimuli such as TNF-α, LPS, or IL-1β. Cells are treated with β-Damascenone, and the expression of cell surface adhesion molecules (e.g., E-selectin) is measured by flow cytometry or ELISA. Secreted TNF-α levels are quantified by ELISA. NF-κB activity is assessed using a luciferase reporter construct, where cells are transfected with an NF-κB-responsive luciferase plasmid and treated with the compound, with luciferase activity measured as a readout of NF-κB-dependent transcription.
Cell Assay
For cellular studies, human cell lines such as endothelial cells (e.g., HUVEC), monocytes (e.g., THP-1), or macrophages are cultured in appropriate media. Cells are pre-treated with β-Damascenone at various concentrations for 1-2 hours, then stimulated with inflammatory activators such as TNF-α (10 ng/mL) or LPS (1 μg/mL) for 4-24 hours. Cell surface E-selectin expression is measured by flow cytometry using fluorescently labeled antibodies. Cytokine levels in culture supernatants are quantified by ELISA. NF-κB luciferase reporter assays are performed in transfected cells, with luciferase activity normalized to cell viability or a control reporter.
Animal Protocol
In vivo anti-inflammatory studies for Damascenone would be conducted in standard rodent models. For acute inflammation, the carrageenan-induced paw edema model in rats would involve subplantar injection of carrageenan followed by oral or intraperitoneal administration of Damascenone, with paw volume measured plethysmographically. For chronic inflammation, DSS-induced colitis or LPS-induced systemic inflammation models in mice would be used. Endpoints would include inflammatory cytokine levels, histopathology, and clinical scores. However, specific published protocols for Damascenone are not available.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Specific pharmacokinetic data for Damascenone are not extensively reported in the pharmacological literature. The compound has a molecular weight of 190.28 g/mol and is a volatile terpene ketone. In the fragrance industry, it is known to have suitable volatility for olfactory applications. For pharmacological research, formal PK studies would be required to determine absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion profiles. The compound's lipophilicity suggests potential for tissue distribution and possible blood-brain barrier penetration.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Damascenone in pharmacological contexts are limited. As a fragrance compound, it has been evaluated for safety in cosmetic and flavor applications, but comprehensive toxicology data for systemic administration are not available. The compound is generally recognized as safe for use in fragrances at low concentrations. However, for research purposes, appropriate safety precautions should be taken, and the compound should be handled in accordance with standard laboratory safety practices.
