Product Description
Guaiol is a sesquiterpene alcohol found in a variety of traditional Chinese medicines and has bioactivities like anti-proliferation, promotion of autophagy, anthelmintic and insecticidal properties.
Guaiol (CAS#: 489-86-1) is a sesquiterpenoid alcohol with oral activity found in various traditional Chinese medicines. It is a natural product with antibacterial activity that inhibits B. subtilis, E. coli, and Leishmania donovani. Guaiol exhibits diverse biological activities including anti-proliferative, autophagy-promoting, insecticidal, anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and blood pressure-lowering effects. It induces apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer cells by regulating the stability of RAD51 through autophagy modulation. Guaiol can also act directly on parasites, inhibiting their growth by affecting the kinetoplast, mitochondrial matrix, and plasma membrane of promastigotes. The compound has demonstrated anti-leishmanial activity with an IC50 of 0.01 μg/mL against amastigotes.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Guaiol targets autophagy pathways and RAD51 protein stability. It regulates RAD51 stability via autophagy to induce cell apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer. RAD51 is overexpressed in lung adenocarcinoma tissues, and guaiol can significantly increase the chemosensitivity of NSCLC cells by targeting this protein. The compound also exhibits antibacterial activity by directly acting on parasites, affecting the kinetoplast, mitochondrial matrix, and plasma membrane of promastigotes. Its anti-inflammatory effects involve modulation of immune responses and protection against oxidative stress.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Guaiol (150 μM, 24 hours) shows inhibitory activity against non-small cell lung cancer cell lines A549 and H1299. The compound induces apoptosis in NSCLC cells by regulating RAD51 stability through autophagy modulation. It demonstrates antibacterial activity against B. subtilis, E. coli, and Leishmania donovani. Guaiol kills amastigotes with an IC50 of 0.01 µg/mL. It also exhibits anti-leishmanial activity in vitro against Leishmania amazonensis. The compound directly acts on parasites, affecting their kinetoplast and mitochondrial structures.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Guaiol inhibits tumor growth in an NSCLC mouse xenograft model. The compound deters Aedes aegypti and Aedes quadrimaculatus mosquitoes from feeding on a synthetic blood substitute with a biting-deterrent index of 0.82 at 25 nmol/cm². Its oral activity has been demonstrated, supporting its potential for in vivo efficacy. Guaiol has been studied in various animal models for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-tumor effects. Further in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies have been conducted to evaluate its therapeutic potential.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Guaiol involve RAD51 binding and autophagy modulation studies. The compound's effect on RAD51 stability is assessed using immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis in NSCLC cell lines. Binding affinity to cellular targets can be evaluated using surface plasmon resonance or pull-down assays. For antibacterial activity, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays are performed against bacterial and parasitic cultures. Enzyme inhibition studies may be conducted to assess effects on specific targets. Assays are performed in appropriate buffer systems with positive and negative controls.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Guaiol are conducted in NSCLC cell lines A549 and H1299. Cells are cultured in appropriate media at 37°C with 5% CO2 and treated with Guaiol at concentrations such as 150 μM for 24 hours. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or CCK-8 assays. Apoptosis is evaluated by Annexin V/PI staining and caspase activity assays. Autophagy markers such as LC3-II and p62 are analyzed by Western blot. RAD51 protein levels are measured to assess target modulation. Experiments are performed in triplicate with appropriate vehicle controls. IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Guaiol are conducted in mouse xenograft models for NSCLC. Tumor-bearing mice are treated with Guaiol via oral administration or intraperitoneal injection. Tumor growth is monitored by caliper measurements. For insecticidal studies, mosquito feeding deterrent assays are performed using synthetic blood substitutes. For anti-inflammatory evaluation, rodent models of inflammation may be used. Dosing regimens are optimized based on pharmacokinetic data. Animals are monitored for clinical signs, and tissues are collected for histopathological and biomarker analysis at study endpoints.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Guaiol (MW 222.37 g/mol, C15H26O) is a lipophilic sesquiterpenoid alcohol with favorable oral bioavailability. Pharmacokinetic studies have been conducted in rats using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with selected ion monitoring. The compound exhibits good absorption and distribution characteristics. Its metabolism likely involves hepatic oxidation and conjugation pathways. Guaiol’s pharmacokinetic parameters including half-life, Cmax, and AUC have been determined in preclinical species. The compound shows stability under recommended storage conditions (powder at -20°C). In vivo formulation typically uses appropriate vehicles for oral or parenteral administration.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Guaiol is generally recognized as safe based on its presence in various traditional Chinese medicines and essential oils. It has been used in traditional medicine for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and other therapeutic effects. In preclinical studies, the compound has shown acceptable tolerability at therapeutic doses. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling. The compound is intended for research use only. Comprehensive toxicological evaluation would be required for therapeutic development. No significant adverse effects have been reported in the available literature at research-use concentrations.
