Product Description
Herniarin is a natural coumarin compound commonly found in flowering plants and Has potential anticancer/anti-tumor effects.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Natural coumarin
ln Vitro
Herniarin has an IC50 of 207.6 µM, making it cytotoxic to the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. MCF-7 cells undergo apoptosis when exposed to 100 µM herniarin [1]. When Herniarin is coupled with 5 µg/mL cisplatin, it significantly increases chromatin Concentrate and boosts the anti-tumor impact of cisplatin. However, Herniarin alone does not appear to be cytotoxic to Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC) cells[2].
Herniarin (7-methoxycoumarin) exhibited cytotoxic effects against the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. At 100 μM, it reduced cell viability to 50.6% ± 3.1% after 48 hours of treatment. The compound induced apoptosis, evidenced by increased caspase-3 activity and morphological changes characteristic of programmed cell death. [1]

In combination studies, herniarin (200 μM) synergistically enhanced the cytotoxicity of cisplatin (2.5 μM) in MCF-7 cells. Co-treatment for 48 hours significantly reduced cell viability (to 28.4% ± 2.7%) compared to cisplatin alone (48.9% ± 3.8%). This synergy was linked to amplified apoptosis via caspase-3 activation and mitochondrial membrane disruption. [2]
Cell Assay
For cytotoxicity assessment, MCF-7 cells were seeded in 96-well plates and treated with herniarin (6.25–200 μM) or vehicle for 24–72 hours. Cell viability was measured using MTT assay. Apoptosis was evaluated via Annexin V/PI staining and caspase-3 activity kits. [1][2]

For combination studies, cells were pre-treated with cisplatin (2.5 μM) for 2 hours, followed by herniarin (200 μM) for 48 hours. Synergy was analyzed using the Chou-Talalay method (combination index < 1). Mitochondrial membrane potential was assessed via JC-1 staining. [2]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism / Metabolites
7-methoxycoumarin has known human metabolites that include 7-Hydroxycoumarin and 4-Hydroxy-7-methoxycoumarin.

Additional Infomation
Herniarin is a member of the class of coumarins that is coumarin substituted by a methoxy group at position 7. It has a role as a fluorochrome.
7-Methoxycoumarin has been reported in Trichogonia grazielae, Yponomeuta mahalebellus, and other organisms with data available.
See also: Glycyrrhiza Glabra (part of); Chamomile (part of).
Herniarin is a natural coumarin derivative with reported anticancer properties. Its pro-apoptotic mechanism involves caspase-3 activation and mitochondrial dysfunction, particularly in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells (MCF-7). [1][2]
The compound synergizes with cisplatin by potentiating DNA damage-induced apoptosis, suggesting potential as an adjuvant in chemotherapy regimens. [2]

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

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)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
