Product Description
Gardenin A is an orally bioavailable, synthetic PMF analog with neurotrophic effects on neurite outgrowth and neuronal differentiation. Gardenin A promotes neurogenesis by activating MAPK/ERK, PKC and PKA signaling pathways in PC12 cells, but does not activate TrkA and CREB signaling pathways. Gardenin A also has sedative, anxiolytic, antidepressant, and anticonvulsant (antiepileptic/antiseizure) effects.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Neurite outgrowth is induced in PC12 cells by gardenin A (10–20 μM; 48 hours), and neuronal differentiation and synapse formation marker protein, growth-associated protein–43 (GAP–43), and synaptophysin expression are similarly increased (10 μM; 24 and 48 hours) [1]. Using the inhibitor 2-naphthol AS-E phosphate (KG-501) or CREB siRNA, gardenin A (10 μM; 30-120 min) dramatically increases the phosphorylation of the cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB) and CRE-mediated transcription [1]. PKA and PKC activity as well as ERK phosphorylation levels are increased by gardenin A (10 μM; 15-120 minutes) [1].
ln Vivo
For mice, gardenin A (0.1–25 mg/kg; oral; single dosage) exhibits a range of neuropharmacological effects, such as sedative, anxiolytic, antidepressant, and anticonvulsant [2]. Mice treated with geniposide A (1–10 mg/kg; oral; single dose) do not have a reduction in motor coordination, and convulsions occur later [2].
Cell Assay

Doses: 1 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 25 mg/kg
Route of Administration: po (oral gavage); single dose
Experimental Results: demonstrated sedative effects at a dose of 25 mg/kg, which increased the duration of sleep but did not alter sleep onset.

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

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

5 mM 0.4780 mL 2.3901 mL 4.7802 mL
10 mM 0.2390 mL 1.1951 mL 2.3901 mL

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • 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
