| Targets |
Brazilin has multiple molecular targets. It targets the AMPK/mTOR pathway to induce autophagy. It also has anti-IKK activity, inhibiting the IκB kinase complex. Additionally, it targets apoptosis and autophagy pathways. The compound's ability to modulate these pathways contributes to its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities.

| ln Vitro |
PC12 cells are not significantly cytotoxically affected by brazilin (40 µM, 24 h) [4]. In PC12 cells, brazilin (10 µM, 1 h) lessens H2O2-induced (200 µM, 24 h) cytotoxicity [4]. H2O2-induced (200 μM, 24 h) cytotoxicity in PC12 cells was antagonistic by brazilin (10 μM, 1 h) [4].
In vitro, brazilin has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of various cancer cell lines. It promotes apoptosis and induces autophagy. The compound also exhibits anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting IL-1 receptor signaling. Its effects are mediated through the AMPK/mTOR pathway. |
| ln Vivo |
Brazilin (10 mg/kg, ip, 28 d) can cause mice to exhibit behaviors resembling anxiety and despair brought on by CMS [4.
In vivo, brazilin has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective effects. Its antiplatelet activity suggests potential benefits in cardiovascular diseases. The compound's effects on inflammation and cell proliferation make it a candidate for further research in various disease models. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme or receptor binding (non-cell) assays for brazilin involve studying its inhibition of IKK activity. The assay uses a purified recombinant IKK enzyme and a peptide substrate. The phosphorylation of the substrate is measured using a radioactive or fluorescent method. The compound's effects on AMPK activity can also be assessed using a kinase assay.

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.73 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 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. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.73 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 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.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*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.
