Product Description
Flavanomarein is the major flavonoid in Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt and has a protective effect on diabetic nephropathy. Flavanomarein has good antioxidant, hypoglycemic, anti-hypertensive (blood pressure lowering) and hypolipidemic activities.
Flavanomarein (CAS 577-38-8) is a predominant flavonoid compound isolated from Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt (snow chrysanthemum). It has a molecular weight of 450.39 and the chemical formula C21H22O11. Flavanomarein demonstrates potent antioxidative properties, including free radical scavenging activity and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. The compound exhibits cytoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, enhancing AKT phosphorylation while regulating key proteins such as PKC-δ, P85α, PKC-β1, Sirt1, Bcl-2, and ICAD. It has shown protective effects against diabetic nephropathy and exhibits antidiabetic, antihypertensive, and anti-hyperlipidemic activities.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Flavanomarein targets multiple signaling pathways involved in metabolism and inflammation. It functions as a Syk inhibitor, NF-κB p65 inhibitor, and TGF-β1/Smad signaling inhibitor. The compound enhances AKT phosphorylation, which is critical for cell survival and insulin signaling. It regulates the expression of PKC-δ, P85α, PKC-β1, Sirt1, Bcl-2, and ICAD, modulating pathways related to apoptosis, inflammation, and metabolism. In HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells treated with free fatty acids (FFAs), flavanomarein demonstrates lipid-lowering effects by suppressing the protein expression of disulfide-isomerase A3 precursor and fatty acid synthase, thereby inhibiting FFA-induced lipogenesis.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies have demonstrated that flavanomarein possesses potent antioxidative properties, including free radical scavenging activity and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. In human HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells treated with free fatty acids (FFAs), the compound exhibits significant lipid-lowering effects. Flavanomarein significantly reduces intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species and improves mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP levels, thus protecting mitochondrial function in FFA-treated HepG2 cells. The compound suppresses the elevation of triglyceride levels and inhibits lipid peroxidation following FFA treatment. It also markedly suppresses the protein expression of disulfide-isomerase A3 precursor and fatty acid synthase.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies have shown that snow chrysanthemum aqueous extracts containing flavanomarein significantly reduce serum lipid levels and oxidative stress in animal models. The compound demonstrates protective effects against diabetic nephropathy in experimental models. Flavanomarein has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, reduce blood glucose levels, and protect against oxidative damage in vivo. Its antihypertensive and anti-hyperlipidemic activities have been confirmed in animal studies. The compound's ability to modulate lipid metabolism and reduce oxidative stress contributes to its therapeutic potential for managing metabolic disorders including diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays, flavanomarein can be evaluated using cell-free systems to assess its antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities. Free radical scavenging activity is typically measured using DPPH and ABTS assays, where the compound's ability to neutralize stable free radicals is quantified. Lipid peroxidation inhibition is assessed using thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assays. Enzyme inhibition studies can be performed to evaluate the compound's effects on Syk kinase, NF-κB p65, and TGF-β1/Smad signaling components using purified proteins and appropriate substrates. IC50 values for target inhibition are determined through dose-response curves. These cell-free assays help elucidate the primary molecular mechanisms underlying flavanomarein's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for flavanomarein are commonly performed using human HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells treated with free fatty acids (FFAs) to model metabolic dysfunction. Cells are cultured in standard media and exposed to FFAs to induce lipid accumulation and oxidative stress. Flavanomarein is then added at various concentrations (typically 1-100 μM) for 24-48 hours. Lipid levels are measured using oil red O staining and triglyceride quantification assays. Reactive oxygen species are detected using DCFH-DA fluorescent probes. Mitochondrial membrane potential is assessed using JC-1 staining, and ATP levels are measured using luminescence-based assays. Protein expression of FAS, PDIA3, and other targets is analyzed by Western blotting.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with flavanomarein are typically conducted using rodent models of metabolic disease. For diabetic nephropathy studies, streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats or mice are administered flavanomarein orally at doses ranging from 10-100 mg/kg daily for several weeks. Blood glucose levels, serum lipid profiles, and markers of renal function are monitored throughout the study. Kidney tissues are harvested for histological examination, including assessment of glomerular damage and fibrosis. For antihypertensive studies, spontaneously hypertensive rats are used, and blood pressure is measured using tail-cuff or telemetry methods. Oxidative stress markers such as MDA and antioxidant enzyme activities are measured in serum and tissue samples.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of flavanomarein have been partially characterized. The compound's solubility in DMSO is 67.5 mg/mL (149.87 mM). For in vivo formulation, it can be prepared in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween 80 + 45% saline at 2 mg/mL (4.44 mM), or in 10% DMSO + 90% saline at 6.75 mg/mL (14.99 mM). The compound is stable as a powder at -20°C for 3 years and in solution at -80°C for 1 year. Flavanomarein has a relative density of 1.665 g/cm³. Detailed PK parameters such as oral bioavailability, half-life, Cmax, and AUC are not extensively documented in the available literature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicological profile of flavanomarein is not extensively characterized in the literature. As a natural flavonoid compound derived from Coreopsis tinctoria, it is generally considered to have a favorable safety profile. However, comprehensive toxicity studies including acute, subchronic, and chronic toxicity assessments are limited. The compound's safety for human use has not been established, and it is strictly intended for research purposes only. Researchers should follow standard laboratory safety practices when handling flavanomarein. The compound's effects at high concentrations and potential interactions with other drugs or compounds have not been fully investigated. Further toxicological studies are needed to fully characterize its safety profile and therapeutic window.
