Product Description
Juglone is a yellow dye found in the walnut Juglans regia that has antibacterial properties.
Juglone (CAS#: 481-39-0), also known as 5-Hydroxy-1,4-naphthalenedione, is a natural naphthoquinone found in the black walnut (Juglans regia) and other plants in the Juglandaceae family. It exhibits antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. Juglone is a highly selective, cell-permeable, irreversible inhibitor of peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPlases) of the parvulin family, including human Pin1, yeast Ess1/Ptf1, and E. coli parvulin (Ki = 55.9 nM). It inhibits the transcription of Pol II by modifying sulfhydryl groups and blocking the assembly of the preinitiation complex. It has the molecular formula C₁₀H₆O₃ and a molecular weight of 174.15.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of Juglone is peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPlases) of the parvulin family, particularly human Pin1. Pin1 is a phosphorylation-dependent prolyl isomerase that regulates protein conformation and function by catalyzing the cis-trans isomerization of phospho-Ser/Thr-Pro peptide bonds. Pin1 plays a critical role in cell cycle regulation, transcription, and oncogenesis. Juglone acts as an irreversible inhibitor of Pin1 with a Ki of 55.9 nM, covalently modifying sulfhydryl groups in the target enzyme. Juglone also targets NF-κB, Toll-like receptors, and apoptosis pathways.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Juglone is a highly selective, cell-permeable, irreversible inhibitor of PPlases of the parvulin family, including human Pin1, yeast Ess1/Ptf1, and E. coli parvulin, with a Ki of 55.9 nM. It inhibits the transcription of Pol II by modifying sulfhydryl groups and blocking the assembly of the preinitiation complex. Juglone exhibits bacteriostatic and fungistatic properties as well as cytotoxicity in eukaryotic cells. It promotes apoptosis via the mitochondrial-dependent pathway and is an antifibrotic compound.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Juglone disrupts cellular processes by generating reactive oxygen species, making it a useful tool in biochemical research for studying oxidative stress and apoptosis. It exhibits antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. However, Juglone is also considered a potentially toxic natural product. The compound is unstable in solution and is recommended to be prepared and used immediately. Specific in vivo efficacy data is not detailed in the available sources.
Enzyme Assay
For Pin1 inhibitors, standard cell-free assays involve measuring the isomerase activity of recombinant Pin1 using a peptide substrate (e.g., Suc-Ala-Glu-Pro-Phe-pNA). The compound is incubated with the enzyme and substrate, and the isomerization reaction is monitored by the change in absorbance or fluorescence. Inhibition constants (Ki) are determined from the inhibition of enzyme activity.
Cell Assay
For Pin1 inhibitors, standard cellular assays involve treatment of cancer cell lines with the test compound for 24-72 hours. Pin1 activity is assessed by measuring the isomerization of a cell-permeable substrate or by monitoring changes in the phosphorylation status of Pin1 substrates (e.g., Cyclin D1, β-catenin, p53). Cell viability (MTT or CellTiter-Glo) and apoptosis (Annexin V/PI staining, caspase activity) are assessed.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo evaluation of Pin1 inhibitors, standard animal models include tumor xenograft models using cancer cell lines sensitive to Pin1 inhibition. The compound is typically administered orally or intraperitoneally for 2-4 weeks. Tumor growth, Pin1 activity, apoptosis markers, and survival are assessed. Juglone's ability to generate ROS may also be studied in models of oxidative stress.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Detailed pharmacokinetic data for Juglone is not extensively provided in the available sources. The compound has a molecular weight of 174.15 and formula C₁₀H₆O₃. It is soluble in DMSO at 10 mg/mL and in ethanol at 10 mg/mL. Juglone is unstable in solution and is recommended to be prepared and used immediately. As a small molecule with moderate lipophilicity, it would be expected to have reasonable cell permeability. Comprehensive PK studies would be required for therapeutic development.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Juglone is a potentially toxic natural product. As a naphthoquinone, it can generate reactive oxygen species and cause oxidative stress. The compound exhibits cytotoxicity in eukaryotic cells. Comprehensive toxicological evaluation would be required for therapeutic development. The compound is unstable in solution and should be prepared and used immediately. It is for research use only and not for therapeutic applications.

Additional Infomation
Juglone is a hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, meaning it is a compound in which the hydrogen atom at the 5-position is replaced by a hydroxyl group. It is a plant-derived 1,4-naphthoquinone that has been shown to possess antibacterial and antitumor activities. Juglone can be used as a herbicide, a reactive oxygen species generator, and an anti-aging agent. It has been reported to exist in Talaromyces diversus, Pterocarya fraxinifolia, and several other organisms with relevant data.
