Product Description
Arctiin (formerly known as NSC 315527), a plant lignan that is isolated from the Arctium lappa (burdock) seeds, is a possible environmental endocrine disruptor compounds and have been shown to influence sex hormone metabolism as well as protein synthesis, steroid biosynthesis. Arctiin can be found in many plants of the Asteraceae family, particularly the greater burdock (Arctium lappa) and Centaurea imperialis, and in Trachelospermum asiaticum, Saussurea heteromalla., and Forsythia viridissima. It is the glucoside of arctigenin. Arctiin and arctigenin have shown anticancer effects.
Arctiin is a plant lignan that can be extracted from the Arctium lappa (burdock) seeds, and is a possible environmental endocrine disruptor compound. It has been shown to influence sex hormone metabolism as well as protein synthesis and steroid biosynthesis [1]. Arctiin is a glycoside of arctigenin and abundant in the seeds of Arctium lappa, Carthamus tinctorius and Caulis tracherospermi, used as herbal medicines in China [1]. Plant lignans are taken up in the diet mainly from high-fiber foods and are converted by human intestinal bacteria to estrogenic and antiestrogenic substances [1]. Arctiin also induces drug metabolism enzymes such as CYP1A2 in rat liver [1].
Arctiin (CAS# 20362-31-6), also known as Arctigenin-4-glucoside or NSC 315527, is the major active lignin in fruits of the burdock plant Arctium lappa. It has a molecular formula of C₂₇H₃₄O₁₁ and a molecular weight of 534.55 g/mol. Arctiin is an orally active inhibitor of NF-κB and has been reported to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiviral effects in vitro. It suppresses cyclin D1 protein expression in multiple types of human tumor cells, including osteosarcoma, lung, colorectal, cervical, breast, melanoma, and prostate cancer.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Arctiin targets multiple cellular pathways. It is an inhibitor of NF-κB, a transcription factor that plays a critical role in inflammation and cancer. By inhibiting NF-κB, it suppresses the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators. Arctiin also inhibits adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes through the inhibition of PPARγ and C/EBPα and the activation of AMPK signaling pathways. It suppresses cyclin D1 protein expression in human tumor cells.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Arctiin has been reported to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiviral effects. It inhibits adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes through the inhibition of PPARγ and C/EBPα and the activation of AMPK signaling pathways. It suppresses cyclin D1 protein expression in multiple types of human tumor cells. Arctiin exerts anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting pro-inflammatory mediators through the inactivation of NF-κB. It also reduces malondialdehyde and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels.
ln Vivo
Male probasin/SV40 T antigen transgenic rats were fed diets containing 0.1%, 0.02%, or 0.004% Arctiin for 18 weeks. Histopathological evaluation showed that all rats developed adenocarcinoma in the dorsolateral prostate except two rats in the 0.1% group and one rat in the 0.02% group without carcinoma [1]. However, there were no definite treatment-related changes with statistical significance in any parameters for prostate carcinomas measured, including incidences of PIN and adenocarcinoma, and quantitative analysis of histological components in dorsolateral and anterior lobes [1]. Arctiin did not exert significant modifying effect (either promoting or chemopreventive) on prostate carcinogenesis in this model [1].
Small cell carcinomas were found in the dorsolateral prostate of four rats, with no group difference in distribution [1]. Two rats with extremely large prostates (each in the 0.02% arctiin and control groups) developed small cell carcinoma [1]. The average percentage of PIN, well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, and moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma in dorsolateral and anterior lobes showed no significant differences among groups [1].
In vivo, Arctiin is orally active. It has been shown to protect against UVB radiation exposure. Arctiin suppresses H9N2 avian influenza virus-mediated inflammation via activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling. It demonstrates potent antiviral activity against influenza A virus. These results demonstrate the diverse in vivo activities of Arctiin.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro NF-κB inhibition assays for Arctiin involve measuring its ability to inhibit NF-κB activity in reporter gene assays. Cells are transfected with an NF-κB-responsive luciferase reporter and treated with Arctiin prior to stimulation with TNF-α or other NF-κB activators. Luciferase activity is measured to assess NF-κB inhibition. The effects on pro-inflammatory cytokine production are measured by ELISA.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Arctiin are performed using various cell types, including cancer cell lines, adipocytes, and immune cells. Cells are cultured in appropriate media and treated with Arctiin at various concentrations. Cell viability is assessed by MTT assays. The expression of cyclin D1 and other target proteins is analyzed by Western blot. Adipogenesis is assessed by Oil Red O staining. Cytokine production is measured by ELISA.
Animal Protocol
Heterozygous male SV40 T antigen transgenic rats (6 weeks old) were used [1]. Arctiin (purity >97%) was mixed into powdered soybean-free basal diet at concentrations of 0.1%, 0.02%, or 0.004% [1]. The control group received soybean-free basal diet alone [1]. Animals were housed 2 per cage on wood-chip bedding in an air-conditioned room at 23±2°C and 60±10% humidity, with diet and tap water available ad libitum [1]. The treatment duration was 18 weeks [1]. Body weight and food consumption were recorded biweekly [1]. At the end of week 18, all surviving rats were killed under ether anesthesia [1]. At autopsy, prostates were removed and fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin; livers and kidneys were excised, weighed, and fixed [1]. After 48 hours of fixation, the dorsolateral and anterior lobes were carefully dissected, weighed, and 2-3 mm thick slices were made from each lobe, then embedded in paraffin for histopathological examination of hematoxylin and eosin stained sections [1]. Neoplastic lesions of the prostate were classified as prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, or poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma [1]. Each prostatic lobe was scored and the percentage area corresponding to each pathological stage was quantified using an image processor for analytical pathology [1].
In vivo animal studies for Arctiin have been conducted in models of inflammation, viral infection, and UVB radiation exposure. The compound is administered orally at doses determined from pharmacokinetic studies. In the UVB radiation model, skin damage is assessed histologically. In the influenza model, viral load and inflammatory markers are measured. In inflammation models, cytokine levels and tissue damage are assessed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Specific pharmacokinetic properties of Arctiin have been characterized as orally active. As a glycoside with a molecular weight of 534.55 g/mol, it is expected to be absorbed and metabolized to its aglycone, arctigenin, which is the active form. It is soluble in DMSO. The compound's pharmacokinetic profile supports oral administration in research studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Comprehensive toxicological data for Arctiin are not widely available in public literature. As a natural product from a food source (burdock), it is generally considered to have a favorable safety profile. However, as with all research compounds, standard safety precautions should be followed. Arctiin is not intended for human therapeutic use.

Additional Infomation
Arctiin is a glycoside and lignan. Arctiin has been reported in Saussurea involucrata, Saussurea salsa, and other organisms for which data are available. See also: Lignans (subclasses of lignans); Burdock fruit (part); Burdock root (part).
Arctiin is a plant lignan belonging to the class of phytoestrogens, which are nonsteroidal substances with weak estrogenic activity [1]. Phytoestrogens are 1000-fold less potent than estradiol but have similar relative affinity for estrogen receptor, acting as ER partial antagonists [1]. Arctiin has been found to influence sex hormone metabolism, protein synthesis, and steroid biosynthesis [1]. It is converted by human intestinal bacteria to estrogenic and antiestrogenic substances [1]. Arctiin induces drug metabolism enzymes such as CYP1A2 in rat liver [1]. In the present study, Arctiin showed no definite effects on prostate carcinogenesis in SV40 T antigen transgenic rats, although a weak inhibitory tendency was observed in high dose groups [1].
Arctiin is the major active lignin in burdock (Arctium lappa) fruits. It is an orally active NF-κB inhibitor with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiviral effects. Arctiin suppresses cyclin D1 expression in multiple tumor cell types and inhibits adipogenesis. It has potential applications in cancer, inflammation, and metabolic disorders.
