Product Description
Isopropyl ferulate is an extract of Notopterygium incisum, which can be used for the reduction of active molecules, the preparation of antifungal compound/agents, cosmetics and oxidants.
Isopropyl ferulate is an ester derivative of ferulic acid, a well-known hydroxycinnamic acid with strong antioxidant properties. It is an extract of Notopterygium incisum (羌活). Isopropyl ferulate has been studied for its potential applications in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food preservation, where it may act as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and UV-protective agent. It has a molecular weight of 236.26 and a molecular formula of C13H1₆O4.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Isopropyl ferulate does not have a well-defined biological target. As an ester derivative of ferulic acid, it exhibits antioxidant activity by scavenging free radicals and chelating metal ions. Its anti-inflammatory activity may involve the inhibition of pro-inflammatory mediators. The compound may also act as a UV-protective agent by absorbing ultraviolet radiation. Its primary targets are reactive oxygen species and inflammatory pathways.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies demonstrate that Isopropyl ferulate exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and UV-protective activities. The compound's antioxidant activity is assessed using DPPH, ABTS, or ORAC assays, where it scavenges free radicals. Its anti-inflammatory activity is evaluated in cell-based assays by measuring the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine production (e.g., TNF-alpha, IL-6) in stimulated immune cells. The compound's UV-protective activity is assessed by measuring its ability to absorb UV radiation.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity of Isopropyl ferulate has not been extensively characterized in the available literature. As a natural product with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, the compound has potential applications in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data, including specific disease models and dosing regimens, are not extensively reported. The compound is primarily used as a research tool.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for Isopropyl ferulate involve measuring its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and UV-protective activities. Antioxidant activity is assessed using DPPH, ABTS, or ORAC assays, where the compound's ability to scavenge free radicals is measured spectrophotometrically. Anti-inflammatory activity is evaluated in cell-based assays by measuring the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine production (e.g., TNF-alpha, IL-6) in LPS-stimulated macrophages using ELISA. UV-protective activity is assessed by measuring the compound's UV absorption spectrum.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for Isopropyl ferulate are conducted to evaluate its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Immune cells (e.g., macrophages) are treated with the compound and stimulated with LPS or other inflammatory stimuli. Cytokine production (e.g., TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-1beta) is measured by ELISA or qPCR. Oxidative stress markers such as ROS levels are measured using fluorescent probes (e.g., DCFH-DA). Cell viability is assessed using MTT or similar assays to ensure that observed effects are not due to cytotoxicity.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Isopropyl ferulate are limited. For anti-inflammatory studies, animal models of inflammation (e.g., carrageenan-induced paw edema) could be used. For antioxidant studies, models of oxidative stress could be employed. Animals would be treated with the compound via oral or topical administration at various doses. Inflammatory markers or oxidative stress markers would be assessed. However, specific in vivo study protocols are not extensively reported.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Isopropyl ferulate have not been extensively characterized. The compound has a molecular weight of 236.26 and a molecular formula of C13H1₆O4. It is soluble in chloroform, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, DMSO, and acetone. The compound is typically stored at -20degC, protected from light. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, bioavailability, and volume of distribution are not reported in the available literature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Isopropyl ferulate are limited. The compound is not intended for human therapeutic use and is supplied for research purposes only. In cell-based assays, the compound is generally well-tolerated at concentrations used for activity studies. The compound is derived from natural sources and is considered to have low toxicity. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.

Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

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
