Product Description
Bavachalcone is a compound extracted from psoralen. It is extensively used in traditional Chinese medicine and has antibiotic and anti-cancer activities.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
- Nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) [1]
- β-Secretase 1 (BACE-1) (IC50 = 28.6 ± 2.3 μM) [2]
- UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs): UGT1A1 (IC50 = 35.2 ± 3.1 μM), UGT1A3 (IC50 = 42.5 ± 2.8 μM), UGT1A6 (IC50 = 51.7 ± 3.5 μM), UGT1A9 (IC50 = 48.3 ± 3.2 μM), UGT2B7 (IC50 = 68.4 ± 4.1 μM) [3]
ln Vitro
- Bavachalcone inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation in mouse bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) in a dose-dependent manner. At concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 μM, it reduced the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated osteoclasts by 32±4%, 58±5%, and 75±6%, respectively [1]
- It downregulated the expression of osteoclast-specific genes and proteins: 20 μM Bavachalcone reduced NFATc1 and c-Fos mRNA levels by 68±5% and 59±4%, and protein levels by 72±6% and 65±5%, respectively [1]
- The compound inhibited BACE-1 activity, with an IC50 value of 28.6 ± 2.3 μM, and showed no significant inhibitory effect on trypsin or chymotrypsin at 100 μM [2]
- It exhibited selective inhibitory effects on UGT isoforms: strongly inhibiting UGT1A1, 1A3, 1A6, 1A9, and 2B7, while showing no significant inhibition on UGT2B4 even at 100 μM [3]
- No significant cytotoxicity was observed in BMMs at concentrations up to 20 μM [1]
Enzyme Assay
- BACE-1 activity assay: Recombinant BACE-1 was incubated with a fluorogenic substrate and Bavachalcone (10–100 μM) at 37°C for 1 hour. The fluorescence intensity of the cleaved substrate was measured at excitation/emission wavelengths of 320/405 nm to calculate inhibition efficiency and IC50 value [2]
- UGT activity assay: Human liver microsomes or recombinant UGT isoforms were mixed with Bavachalcone (10–100 μM), UDP-glucuronic acid (cofactor), and 4-methylumbelliferone (substrate). After incubation at 37°C for 60 minutes, the reaction was terminated, and the fluorescence of the glucuronidated product was measured at 365/450 nm to determine IC50 values [3]
Cell Assay
- Osteoclast differentiation assay: Mouse BMMs were seeded in 96-well plates and cultured with M-CSF (30 ng/mL) and RANKL (50 ng/mL) in the presence of Bavachalcone (5, 10, 20 μM) for 5 days. Cells were fixed, stained for TRAP, and multinucleated (≥3 nuclei) TRAP-positive cells were counted as osteoclasts [1]
- Gene and protein expression assay: BMMs were treated with Bavachalcone (20 μM) and RANKL for 3–5 days. Total RNA was extracted for RT-PCR to detect NFATc1 and c-Fos mRNA levels; cell lysates were prepared for Western blot analysis of the corresponding proteins [1]
- Cell viability assay: BMMs were seeded in 96-well plates, treated with Bavachalcone (5, 10, 20, 40 μM) for 5 days, and cell viability was measured by MTT assay [1]

Additional Infomation
Bavachalcone is a chalcone compound. It has been reported to exist in Psoralea corylifolia, Broussonetia papyrifera, and Sophora prostrata, with relevant data. Bavachalcone is a phenolic chalcone compound isolated from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia [1][2][3]. Its anti-osteoclastogenic mechanism involves the inhibition of RANKL-induced NFATc1 and c-Fos expression, which are key transcription factors for osteoclast differentiation [1]. BACE-1 inhibitory activity suggests its potential use in treating Alzheimer's disease by reducing β-amyloid production [2]. Inhibition of UGT isoenzymes suggests a potential risk of drug interactions, as UGT is a key enzyme in drug metabolism and detoxification [3].
