| Targets |
Chelidonic acid does not have a specific drug target but acts through multiple mechanisms. It has been shown to inhibit the activity of various enzymes, including phospholipase A2 and certain kinases. The compound has anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory mediators. It also has antioxidant activity by scavenging free radicals. Chelidonic acid may also modulate calcium signaling pathways in cells.

| ln Vitro |
Chelidonic acid suppresses IL-6 mRNA expression at 1–10 μM and dose-dependently lowers IL-6 production at 0.1–10 μM [1]. Chelidonic acid (0.1–10 μM) increases cytoplasmic NF-κB activation and decreases caspase-1 and nuclear NF-κB activation [1]. Chelidonic acid has a Ki of 1.2 μM, making it an inhibitor of glutamate decarboxylase. Chelidonic acid does not react with free pyridoxal-P or encourage the synthesis of apoenzymes [2].
Chelidonic acid demonstrates anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators. It has analgesic effects in animal models of pain. The compound exhibits antimicrobial activity against various bacteria and fungi. Chelidonic acid also shows hepatoprotective effects by reducing oxidative stress and liver enzyme levels. The compound has been shown to inhibit the activity of phospholipase A2 and other enzymes. |
| ln Vivo |
Chelidonic acid (0.2, 2 mg/kg, orally) can lessen ovalbumin-induced allergy responses in mice [3].
Chelidonic acid has been studied in various in vivo models. In rodents, administration of chelidonic acid has been shown to reduce inflammation, pain, and liver injury. The compound has also been shown to have antimicrobial effects in animal models of infection. Its effects are dose-dependent and mediated through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Further research is needed to fully characterize its in vivo pharmacological profile. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro assay for chelidonic acid typically involves measuring its enzyme inhibitory activity using standard biochemical assays. The compound is tested against enzymes such as phospholipase A2, kinases, or other targets. The IC50 value is determined from the dose-response curve. Antioxidant activity is assessed using DPPH, ABTS, or FRAP assays. Antimicrobial activity is assessed using standard broth dilution or disk diffusion methods.
|
| Cell Assay |
The in vitro cellular assay for chelidonic acid typically involves culturing cell lines such as macrophages, hepatocytes, or cancer cells and treating them with varying concentrations of the compound. Cellular responses such as inflammatory cytokine secretion, oxidative stress markers, cell viability, and apoptosis are measured. The compound's effects on signaling pathways are assessed using Western blotting or reporter gene assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for chelidonic acid typically involve the administration of the compound to rodents via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection. Parameters such as inflammatory markers, pain responses, and liver function tests are assessed. The compound's effects on various disease models (e.g., inflammation, pain, or liver injury) are evaluated. The compound is generally well tolerated at moderate doses.

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (13.58 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 (13.58 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. 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.
