Product Description
Galangin (Norizalpinin) is a modulator of arylhydrocarbon receptors and inhibits CYP1A1 activity.
Galangin (CAS#: 548-83-4, molecular weight 270.24, molecular formula C15H10O5) is a naturally occurring flavonoid found in high concentrations in Alpinia officinarum (lesser galangal) and other plants. It is a member of the flavonol class of flavonoids. Galangin has been studied for its diverse biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties. The compound has been investigated for its potential in treating various diseases, including cancer and inflammatory conditions. It is a research compound with applications in pharmacology and natural product research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Galangin targets multiple cellular pathways and enzymes. As a flavonoid, it modulates various signaling pathways involved in inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell proliferation. It inhibits COX-2 and other inflammatory enzymes. Galangin also activates the Nrf2/ARE antioxidant pathway, enhancing endogenous antioxidant defenses. Its anticancer effects are mediated through induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Its antimicrobial activity is attributed to its ability to disrupt microbial cell membranes.
ln Vitro
Thin layer chromatography was used to measure how dose-dependently galangin (Norizalpinin) blocks the downstream activation of DMBA. Moreover, galangin prevents DMBA-DNA adducts and DMBA-induced cell proliferation. As shown by O-determinase activity in intact cells and by isolated microsomes from DMBA-treated cells, galangal produced a strong dose-dependent suppression of CYP1A1 activity. The results of the double reciprocal plot analysis of inhibition kinetics indicate that galangal, as opposed to non-galangin, increased the levels of CYP1A1 mRNA, indicating that it may be an agonist of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor. However, it inhibits the induction of CYP1A1 mRNA by -p-dioxin (TCDD) or DMBA. Moreover, galangin prevents the control of reporter vectors carrying the CYP1A1 promoter by TCDD or DMBA [1]. Cells are treated with galangin to induce autophagy (at 130 μM) and labeling (at 370 μM). Specifically, treatment of HepG2 cells with galangin results in a rise in microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 levels, an accumulation of autophagosomes, and an increase in the percentage of cells within the vacuole. Additionally, p53 expression is elevated. While overexpressing p53 in Hep3B cells returns the majority of galangin-induced vacuolated cells to normal levels, p53 inhibition in HepG2 cells alleviates galangin-induced autophagy [2].
In vitro, galangin exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. Its antioxidant activity has been demonstrated using standard cell-free assays such as DPPH and ABTS. It reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in various cell types. It inhibits the growth of various bacteria and fungi. Its anticancer effects include induction of apoptosis and inhibition of cell proliferation in various cancer cell lines. These activities have been characterized in various in vitro systems.
ln Vivo
In vivo, galangin has demonstrated anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects in animal models. The compound has been shown to reduce inflammation in models of inflammatory diseases. Its antioxidant effects have been demonstrated in models of oxidative stress. Its anticancer activity has been evaluated in tumor xenograft models. Its in vivo efficacy supports its potential for therapeutic applications. Specific dosing regimens and detailed efficacy data are available in the scientific literature.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for galangin involve measuring its effects on enzymes involved in inflammation and oxidative stress. COX-2 inhibition is assessed using enzyme activity assays. Antioxidant activity is assessed using standard cell-free assays such as DPPH, ABTS, or FRAP. Its effects on various enzymes can be assessed using purified enzyme preparations. These assays provide mechanistic insights into the compound's activities.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for galangin involve treating various cell types with the compound to assess its effects on cell viability, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Cytokine production is measured by ELISA. Cell viability is measured using MTT or similar assays. Apoptosis is quantified by flow cytometry or caspase activity assays. Oxidative stress markers are measured using fluorescent probes. These assays characterize the compound's pharmacological activities.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for galangin have been conducted in models of inflammation, cancer, and oxidative stress. Animals are treated with galangin orally or via injection. Anti-inflammatory effects are assessed by measuring inflammatory markers and tissue histology. Anticancer effects are evaluated in tumor xenograft models. Antioxidant effects are assessed by measuring oxidative stress markers and antioxidant enzyme activities. Efficacy endpoints depend on the specific model being studied.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism / Metabolites
Known human metabolites of galangin include (2S,3S,4S,5R)-6-(5,7-dihydroxy-4-oxo-2-phenylchromene-3-yl)oxy-3,4,5-trihydroxyoxetane-2-carboxylic acid, kaempferol, and (2S,3S,4S,5R)-6-(3,5-dihydroxy-4-oxo-2-phenylchromene-7-yl)oxy-3,4,5-trihydroxyoxetane-2-carboxylic acid.
Galangin has a molecular weight of 270.24 and a molecular formula of C15H10O5. It is a naturally occurring flavonoid found in Alpinia officinarum. The compound is a yellow crystalline powder. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited aqueous solubility. It is typically stored under recommended conditions for natural products. Its physical and chemical properties are consistent with flavonols.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicity data for galangin is not extensively reported. As a natural flavonoid, it is generally considered to have a favorable safety profile. However, comprehensive toxicological studies would be required for therapeutic development. The compound may have cytotoxic effects at high concentrations. Standard safety precautions should be taken when handling the compound.
