Product Description
Auraptene is the most abundant natural geranoxycoumarin. Auraptene reduces the secretion of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) as well as key inflammatory factors like IL-6, IL-8, and chemokine (CC motif) ligand-5 (CCL5).
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Cyclin D1 (protein expression reduced) [2]
Transcriptional regulation of multiple cell cycle-related genes (see In Vitro section) [2]
ln Vitro
In MCF-7 human breast adenocarcinoma cells, Auraptene (10 µM) pretreatment significantly inhibited IGF-1 (10 ng/mL) stimulated S phase entry. After 24 hours of IGF-1 treatment, the percentage of cells in S phase was reduced from 57.2% (IGF-1 alone) to 9.5% (IGF-1 + Auraptene), with a corresponding increase in G1 phase cells from 42.6% to 87.4%. This effect was not observed at the 8-hour time point. [2]
In MCF-7 cells, Auraptene (10 µM) pretreatment significantly modulated the transcription of multiple cell cycle-related genes in the presence of IGF-1 (10 ng/mL), as measured by qRT-PCR array. At 8 hours post-IGF-1 treatment, 9 genes were significantly changed compared to IGF-1 alone: E2F1 (-7.88 fold), CDC45L (-6.51 fold), E2F2 (-9.81 fold), MCM3 (-6.08 fold), MCM6 (-3.71 fold), and UHRF1 (-17.01 fold) were downregulated; while CDKN2B (5.83 fold), DDIT3 (9.36 fold), and JUN (3.65 fold) were upregulated. [2]
In MCF-7 cells, at 24 hours post-IGF-1 treatment, Auraptene (10 µM) pretreatment significantly modulated 14 cell cycle-related genes compared to IGF-1 alone. Downregulated genes included CDC45L (-20.71 fold), CDC2 (-38.29 fold), CCNA2 (-20.25 fold), KIF20B (-32.48 fold), CHEK1 (-9.01 fold), CDKN2C (-8.98 fold), CHEK2 (-10.83 fold), E2F1 (-10.44 fold), CCNB2 (-6.81 fold), and UHRF1 (-45.85 fold). Upregulated genes included DDIT3 (53.22 fold), CDKN2B (6.14 fold), GADD45A (10.16 fold), and DUSP1 (7.51 fold). E2F1, CDC45L, UHRF1, DDIT3, and CDKN2B were modulated at both time points. [2]
No significant change in cyclin D1 mRNA level was observed in MCF-7 cells treated with IGF-1 and Auraptene, suggesting its effect on cyclin D1 protein is post-transcriptional. [2]
Previous studies showed that in MCF-7 cells, 10 µM Auraptene reduced cyclin D1 protein expression by about 40% after treatment with IGF-1. [2]

ln Vivo
Dietary administration of Auraptene at 500 ppm significantly delayed tumor latency in the N-methylnitrosourea (MNU)-induced mammary carcinogenesis model in female Sprague-Dawley rats. [2]
HPLC analysis detected Auraptene in the low µM concentration range in mammary tissues of rats fed a diet containing either 200 or 500 ppm Auraptene. [2]
Mammary tumors from rats treated with Auraptene at 500 ppm showed a significant reduction in cyclin D1 protein expression compared to tumors from the MNU-only group. [2]
Dietary administration of Auraptene at 500 ppm decreased mammary carcinoma incidence and delayed median time to tumor in MNU-treated rats. [2]
Cell Assay
For cell cycle analysis, MCF-7 cells (1 x 10⁶) were plated in 10 cm dishes. After 24 hours of serum starvation, cells were pretreated with 10 µM Auraptene (in 0.01% DMSO) or vehicle for 2 hours. Cells were then stimulated with 10 ng/mL IGF-1. At 8 and 24 hours post-IGF-1 stimulation, cells were harvested, washed with cold PBS, and fixed in 70% cold ethanol overnight. Fixed cells were washed, stained with propidium iodide solution mix (containing Triton-X 100, RNase, and propidium iodide in PBS), and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry. The experiment was repeated 3 times. [2]
For gene expression analysis, MCF-7 cells (1 x 10⁵) were plated in 6 cm dishes and subjected to the same serum starvation, Auraptene (10 µM) pretreatment, and IGF-1 (10 ng/mL) stimulation protocol as described for cell cycle analysis. At 8 and 24 hours after IGF-1 treatment, RNA was isolated. Isolated RNA was treated with DNase to remove genomic contamination, and its quality was assessed. cDNA was synthesized from 1 µg of RNA and used for qPCR array analysis (Human Cell Cycle Tox and Cancer 96 StellARray qPCR array) to assess the expression of cell cycle-related genes. The experiment was conducted in triplicate at both time points. [2]
Animal Protocol
For the mammary carcinogenesis study, female Sprague-Dawley rats were administered Auraptene at 500 ppm in the diet. The effect on tumor latency and incidence was assessed in the N-methylnitrosourea (MNU)-induced model. [2]
To measure tissue drug levels, rats were fed a diet containing Auraptene at either 200 or 500 ppm. Mammary tissue was collected and analyzed by HPLC to detect the concentration of Auraptene. [2]

ADME/Pharmacokinetics
HPLC analysis of mammary tissues from rats fed a diet containing Auraptene at 200 or 500 ppm detected the compound in the low micromolar (µM) concentration range. [2]
The major metabolites of Auraptene are umbelliferone and 7-ethoxycoumarin, which also possess chemopreventive effects. [2]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Auraptene was well tolerated in the rat mammary carcinogenesis model. No observable changes in gross behavior and no significant weight loss were noted in rats treated with MNU plus auraptene compared to those treated with MNU alone. [3]
The 500 ppm dose in this study corresponds to an approximate daily intake of 40 mg/kg body weight for the rats, which is noted to be well below the safety limit. [3]

Additional Infomation
Auraptene belongs to the coumarin class of compounds, and its structure is similar to that of umbelliferone, except that the hydrogen on the phenolic hydroxyl group is replaced by a geranyl group. Auraptene has been isolated from various edible fruits and vegetables and possesses a variety of therapeutic effects. It can function as a plant metabolite, antitumor agent, apoptosis inducer, dopaminergic agonist, neuroprotective agent, antihypertensive agent, γ-secretase regulator, wound healing agent, EC 2.7.11.24 (mitogen-activated protein kinase) inhibitor, PPARα agonist, gastrointestinal drug, matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective agent. It belongs to the coumarin class of compounds and is also a monoterpene compound. Functionally, it is related to umbelliferone. Auraptene has been reported in Sinacalia tangutica, Polygala paniculata, and other organisms with available data.
Auraptene is a citrus coumarin being investigated for its chemopreventive effects in various cancer models, including skin, colon, prostate, and breast. Its mechanisms of action include anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, and pro-apoptotic effects. [2]
Many genes modulated by Auraptene in this study, such as CDKN2B, E2F family members, UHRF1, DUSP1, CCNB2, CHEK1, and CDKN2C, are known to be deregulated in various cancers. [2]
Several of the genes modulated by Auraptene, such as CDC2 (CDK1) and CCNA2, are targets of existing or investigational anticancer therapies like Flavopiridol and UCN-01. [2]
Previous studies have shown that Auraptene changes the protein levels of COX-2, iNOS, and pro-MMP-7 without changing their transcript levels, suggesting action on translational machinery. [2]
