| Targets |
UCK2 (uridine-cytidine kinase 2); PPAR-γ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma); TLR4; NF-κB; MAPK. Alpinetin activates PPAR-γ, which attenuates TLR4 expression and TLR4-mediated NF-κB and MAPK activation, reducing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. It also activates Nrf2. As a UCK2 inhibitor, it may affect nucleotide metabolism.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Alpinetin demonstrates potent anti-inflammatory activity in vitro by inhibiting LPS-induced TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β production. It blocks the phosphorylation of IκBα, p65, p38, and ERK in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. It has antiproliferative effects in HepG2 hepatoma cells and BxPC-3 pancreatic cancer cells. It induces vasorelaxation in rat mesenteric arteries through multiple mechanisms.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Alpinetin suppresses T-cell-mediated delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions in mice. It protects against LPS-induced kidney injury through activation of Nrf2 and inhibition of TLR4 expression. It has vascular effects that relax mesenteric arteries. The compound demonstrates anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects in animal models.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme and receptor binding assays for Alpinetin involve measuring PPAR-γ activation, UCK2 inhibition, or TLR4/NF-κB signaling. PPAR-γ activation is assessed using reporter gene assays. UCK2 activity is measured using enzymatic assays with radiolabeled substrates. NF-κB activation is assessed by measuring IκBα phosphorylation or NF-κB DNA binding.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for Alpinetin involve culturing RAW 264.7 macrophages, HepG2 hepatoma cells, or BxPC-3 pancreatic cancer cells. Cells are treated with Alpinetin at varying concentrations (typically 1-100 µM) and stimulated with LPS where applicable. Cytokine production is measured by ELISA. Cell proliferation is assessed using MTT assays. Apoptosis is measured by caspase activity or annexin V staining.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for Alpinetin have been conducted in mouse models of inflammation and delayed-type hypersensitivity. The compound is typically administered orally or intraperitoneally. Efficacy is assessed by measuring inflammatory markers, tissue damage, or immune responses. Dosing regimens vary. Studies have also been conducted in models of kidney injury.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

*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.
