| Targets |
Eriocitrin exhibits multiple biological activities through various mechanisms. It is a powerful antioxidative flavonoid that prevents oxidative damages. Eriocitrin inhibits the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines by arresting the cell cycle in S phase through up-regulation of p53, cyclin A, cyclin D3, and CDK6. It also exhibits lipid-lowering effects in rat models of high-fat diet. The compound inhibits lipid peroxidation in cell-free assays.

| ln Vitro |
HepG2 and Huh7, two liver cancer cell lines, are inhibited in their ability to proliferate and form foci by erynocitrin (25–75 μM; 24 hours), which also disrupts the cell cycle in the S phase (5–10 μM; 24 hours) [1]. In HepG2 cells, eriocitrin (25–75 μM; 12 hours) increases the levels of p53, cyclin A, cyclin D3, and CDK6 [1]. Through the activation of intrinsic signaling pathways connected to mitochondria, eriocirin (25-75 μM; 48 hours) causes apoptosis [1].
In vitro, eriocitrin is a powerful antioxidative flavonoid that prevents oxidative damages. It inhibits the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines by arresting the cell cycle in S phase through up-regulation of p53, cyclin A, cyclin D3, and CDK6. The compound inhibits lipid peroxidation in cell-free assays when used at a concentration of 10 µM. It exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor activities in various cell-based assays. |
| ln Vivo |
Acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by ischemia-reperfusion (IR) in rats is lessened by eriocirin (10–60 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once daily, from the day of modeling until the end of the experiment) and renal tissue cell apoptosis is decreased, altering the renal inflammatory response and oxidative stress [2].
In vivo, eriocitrin has lipid-lowering effects in rats on a high-fat and high-cholesterol diet. It demonstrates 33% higher Cmax and 43% greater AUC than hesperidin, ensuring consistent systemic exposure. The compound shows 8-fold higher composite antioxidant potency (APC) and strong H₂O₂ scavenging activity. These findings support its potential as a dietary supplement for managing lipid disorders and oxidative stress. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular assays for eriocitrin involve assessing its antioxidant activity using cell-free systems. The compound's ability to scavenge free radicals can be evaluated using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)), or FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) assays. Its ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation can be measured using the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for eriocitrin involve treating hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines (e.g., HepG2, Huh7) with the compound and assessing cell viability, proliferation, and cell cycle progression. Cell viability is measured using MTT or CellTiter-Glo® assays. Cell cycle analysis is performed by flow cytometry using propidium iodide staining. The expression of cell cycle regulatory proteins (p53, cyclin A, cyclin D3, CDK6) is assessed by Western blotting or qPCR.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with eriocitrin are conducted in rat models of high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia. Rats are fed a high-fat and high-cholesterol diet and treated with eriocitrin via oral administration. Serum lipid levels (total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C, HDL-C) are measured. Liver histology is examined to assess hepatic steatosis. The compound's lipid-lowering effects and antioxidant activity are evaluated.

*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.
