Product Description
Demethylwedelolactone is a naturally occurring coumestan extracted from Eclipta alba. Demethylwedelolactone is a potent trypsin inhibitor (antagonist) with IC50 of 3.0 μM. Demethylwedelolactone inhibits breast cancer/tumor cell migration and invasion.
Demethylwedelolactone (CAS 6468-55-9) is a naturally occurring coumestan originally isolated from Eclipta alba (false daisy), a plant used in traditional medicine. With a molecular formula of C₁₅H₈O₇ and a molecular weight of 300.22 g/mol, this compound is a potent trypsin inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 3.0 μM. Demethylwedelolactone suppresses inflammatory and cancer-related signaling pathways, including NF-κB/IKK, MAPK, and apoptosis-associated pathways. It exerts anti-invasive growth effects on breast cancer cells and suppresses cell motility and cell invasion. The compound targets NF-κB, IκB, MEK, ERK, MMP (e.g., TIMP), and IKK. Demethylwedelolactone is also known as 去甲蟛蜞菊内酯 in Chinese. As a research compound, Demethylwedelolactone is soluble in DMF (30 mg/mL), DMSO (30 mg/mL), and ethanol (20 mg/mL).
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Demethylwedelolactone targets multiple proteins involved in inflammation and cancer. It is a potent trypsin inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 3.0 μM. The compound targets NF-κB, IκB, MEK, ERK, MMP (e.g., TIMP), and IKK. It suppresses inflammatory and cancer-related signaling, including NF-κB/IKK, MAPK, and apoptosis-associated pathways. By inhibiting these pathways, Demethylwedelolactone exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-invasive effects.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies have demonstrated that Demethylwedelolactone is a potent trypsin inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 3.0 μM. It suppresses cell motility and cell invasion of breast cancer cells. The compound exerts anti-invasive growth effects on breast cancer cells. It suppresses inflammatory and cancer-related signaling, including NF-κB/IKK, MAPK, and apoptosis-associated pathways. These activities make Demethylwedelolactone a valuable tool for studying cancer invasion, inflammation, and protease inhibition.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Demethylwedelolactone has been shown to reduce cytotoxicity induced by CCl₄ and galactosamine, suggesting hepatoprotective effects. The compound's anti-inflammatory and anti-invasive properties suggest potential therapeutic applications in cancer and inflammatory diseases. However, specific published in vivo studies are limited.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro non-cell enzyme assays for Demethylwedelolactone typically involve measuring trypsin inhibition using purified trypsin enzyme and a chromogenic or fluorogenic substrate. The compound is incubated with trypsin and substrate, and enzyme activity is measured spectrophotometrically or fluorometrically. IC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves. Kinase inhibition assays can be performed to evaluate the compound's effects on IKK, MEK, and other kinases using purified kinases and peptide substrates.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Demethylwedelolactone use breast cancer cell lines (e.g., MDA-MB-231) or other cancer cell lines. Cells are treated with the compound at various concentrations, and parameters assessed include cell viability (MTT or CCK-8 assays), cell migration and invasion (wound healing or transwell assays), NF-κB and MAPK activation (Western blotting using phospho-specific antibodies), MMP expression (zymography or Western blotting), and apoptosis markers.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Demethylwedelolactone would employ rodent models of cancer (xenograft models) or inflammation. The compound is administered orally or intraperitoneally, and parameters assessed include tumor growth (tumor volume measurements), metastasis, inflammatory markers, NF-κB and MAPK activation in tissues, and evaluation of systemic toxicity. However, specific published in vivo data for this compound are limited.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Demethylwedelolactone has a molecular weight of 300.22 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₁₅H₈O₇. It is soluble in DMF (30 mg/mL), DMSO (30 mg/mL), DMSO:PBS (pH 7.2) (1:1) at 0.5 mg/mL, and ethanol (20 mg/mL). The compound is a coumestan isolated from Eclipta alba. It should be stored under appropriate conditions as recommended by the manufacturer. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters have not been extensively characterized.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Demethylwedelolactone has not been comprehensively evaluated in published studies. As a natural component of Eclipta alba, which has a long history of use in traditional medicine, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. However, as a potent trypsin inhibitor, it may have significant biological effects that require careful evaluation. The compound is classified as a research reagent and is not intended for human therapeutic use.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
