| ln Vitro |
1. COX-2 inhibitory activity:
- [8]-Shogaol dose-dependently inhibited COX-2 enzyme activity in vitro, with maximum inhibition (92%) at 20 μM; IC₅₀ was determined as 3.5 μM [1] - The inhibition was selective for COX-2 over COX-1 (selectivity index = COX-1 IC₅₀ / COX-2 IC₅₀ = 5.7) [1] 2. COX-1 inhibitory and anti-platelet activity: - [8]-Shogaol competitively inhibited COX-1 activity with a Ki of 2.1 μM, reducing thromboxane A₂ (TXA₂) production in human platelets [2] - At 10 μM, [8]-Shogaol inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation by 78%, and arachidonic acid-induced aggregation by 85% [2] 3. Antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic activity in leukemia cells: - [8]-Shogaol suppressed proliferation of HL-60 (human promyelocytic leukemia) and U937 (human monocytic leukemia) cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner; IC₅₀ values were 8.2 μM (HL-60, 48 h) and 10.5 μM (U937, 48 h) [3] - Induced apoptosis in HL-60 cells: After 24 h treatment with 15 μM [8]-Shogaol, apoptotic rate (Annexin V-positive cells) increased from 3.2% (control) to 68.5% [3] - Triggered ROS generation: 10 μM [8]-Shogaol increased intracellular ROS levels by 3.2-fold (DCFH-DA assay) at 12 h [3] - Depleted glutathione (GSH): 15 μM [8]-Shogaol reduced intracellular GSH content by 62% at 24 h compared to control [3] - Activated caspases: Western blot showed cleaved caspase-3, -8, and -9 levels increased significantly after 18 h treatment with 10 μM [8]-Shogaol [3] |
| Enzyme Assay |
1. COX-2 enzyme activity assay:
- Reaction system contained COX-2 enzyme, arachidonic acid (substrate), and different concentrations of [8]-Shogaol (0.1-20 μM) [1] - Incubated at 37°C for 15 min; reaction was stopped by adding 1 M HCl [1] - Prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) (product of COX-2) was measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); COX-2 activity was calculated based on PGE₂ levels, and IC₅₀ was derived from dose-response curves [1] 2. COX-1 enzyme activity assay: - Purified COX-1 enzyme was mixed with arachidonic acid and [8]-Shogaol (0.1-50 μM) in reaction buffer [2] - Incubated at 37°C for 20 min; TXA₂ (product of COX-1 in platelets) was converted to TXB₂ by adding SnCl₂ [2] - TXB₂ levels were quantified via radioimmunoassay (RIA); Ki value was calculated using Lineweaver-Burk plots [2] 3. Platelet aggregation assay: - Human platelets were isolated from fresh blood (centrifugation at 150×g for 10 min, then 1000×g for 15 min) and resuspended in Tyrode’s buffer [2] - Platelet suspension (200 μl) was preincubated with [8]-Shogaol (1-50 μM) for 5 min at 37°C [2] - Aggregation was induced by adding collagen (5 μg/ml) or arachidonic acid (100 μM); aggregation rate was measured using a platelet aggregometer for 5 min [2] |

Western blot for caspase activation: - HL-60 cells were treated with [8]-Shogaol (0-15 μM) for 18 h, then lysed in RIPA buffer [3] - Protein samples (30 μg/lane) were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes [3] - Membranes were incubated with primary antibodies against caspase-3, -8, -9 (pro and cleaved forms) and β-actin (loading control), followed by secondary antibody [3] - Bands were visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) reagent, and densitometry was performed to quantify cleaved caspase levels [3] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Cytotoxicity to normal cells: [8]-gingerol showed low cytotoxicity to human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs); at a concentration of 20 μM, the cell viability of PBMCs was 82% (compared to 28% for HL-60 cells)[3]

| Additional Infomation |
[8]-Gingerol is a monomethoxybenzene, belonging to the enone class and also a phenolic compound.
It has been reported that ginger (Zingiber officinale) contains [8]-gingerol, and there is relevant data. See also: Ginger (partial). 1. Chemical background: [8]-gingerol is the pungent component of ginger (Zingiber officinale), which is derived from the dehydration reaction of [8]-gingerol during ginger processing (drying or heating) [1][2][3]. 2. COX inhibition mechanism: [8]-gingerol inhibits COX enzymes by competing with arachidonic acid (substrate) for the active site of COX-1/2 [1][2]. 3. Leukemia cell apoptosis mechanism: [8]-gingerol induces apoptosis through the endogenous (mitochondrial) pathway. ROS generation → GSH depletion → loss of mitochondrial membrane potential → caspase-9 activation → caspase-3 activation → apoptosis [3] |

*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.
