Product Description
Keracyanin chloride (Cyanidin 3-rutinoside chloride), an anthocyanin, has anti-oxidant effect. Keracyanin chloride inhibits malondialdehyde formation in oxidized calf thymus DNA.
Keracyanin (CAS#: 18719-76-1) is a polyphenolic anthocyanin found naturally in many plants. It has high antioxidant activity and protects erythrocytes from apoptosis. Keracyanin chloride (Cyanidin 3-rutinoside chloride) is an anthocyanin with antioxidant effects. It inhibits malondialdehyde formation in oxidized calf thymus DNA. Keracyanin (chloride) significantly reduces body weight gain, resistance to insulin, and lipid accumulation in mice fed a high-fat diet. The compound has a molecular formula of C27H31ClO15 and a molecular weight of 630.98. It is also known as cyanidin 3-O-rutinoside and keracyanin chloride.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Keracyanin targets multiple signaling pathways including NF-κB, FAK, and MAPK. Its effects are mediated through inhibition of these pathways, contributing to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hypoglycemic activities. As an anthocyanin, keracyanin's mechanism of action involves its ability to scavenge free radicals and reactive oxygen species, which are known to cause oxidative damage to cells and tissues. The compound's polyphenolic structure allows it to donate electrons to neutralize reactive species, thereby protecting cells from oxidative stress.
ln Vitro
Keracyanin inhibits NF-κB/FAK/MAPK signaling pathway. It exhibits antioxidant activity, protecting erythrocytes from apoptosis. Keracyanin inhibits malondialdehyde formation in oxidized calf thymus DNA, demonstrating its ability to prevent lipid peroxidation and DNA damage. It also shows anti-inflammatory and hypoglycemic effects. The compound's antioxidant properties contribute to its protective effects against oxidative stress-induced cellular damage.
ln Vivo
Keracyanin is orally active and significantly reduces body weight gain, resistance to insulin, and lipid accumulation in mice fed a high-fat diet. This demonstrates the compound's potential for managing metabolic disorders such as obesity and insulin resistance. The in vivo efficacy of keracyanin in preventing weight gain and metabolic dysfunction suggests that it may be a promising candidate for the development of therapeutic agents for metabolic syndrome. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties likely contribute to these beneficial metabolic effects.
Enzyme Assay
No specific non-cell assay protocol is available for keracyanin. For antioxidant activity assessment, standard cell-free assays include DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS radical cation decolorization, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. The compound's ability to inhibit malondialdehyde formation in oxidized DNA can be measured. These assays involve incubating the compound with free radical-generating systems and measuring the reduction in oxidative products. The antioxidant capacity can be expressed as Trolox equivalents or IC50 values for radical scavenging.
Cell Assay
No specific cell-based assay protocol is available for keracyanin. For antioxidant and cytoprotective studies, cells (e.g., erythrocytes) are treated with keracyanin followed by exposure to oxidative stress-inducing agents. Apoptosis is measured by flow cytometry using Annexin V/PI staining. Cellular oxidative stress markers such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT, GPx) can be measured. Anti-inflammatory activity can be assessed in macrophages by measuring cytokine production (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β).
Animal Protocol
No specific animal protocol is available for keracyanin. For metabolic studies, mice are fed a high-fat diet with or without keracyanin supplementation. Body weight, food intake, and fat mass are measured throughout the study. Glucose tolerance tests and insulin tolerance tests are performed to assess metabolic function. At the end of the study, tissues (liver, adipose tissue) are collected for histology and biochemical analysis. Serum lipids, glucose, and insulin levels are measured to evaluate metabolic parameters.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No detailed pharmacokinetic data is publicly available for keracyanin. Keracyanin has a molecular weight of 630.98 and formula C27H31ClO15. As an anthocyanin glycoside, it may have limited oral bioavailability due to its hydrophilic nature and susceptibility to intestinal metabolism. However, it is described as orally active, suggesting that it can reach target tissues in sufficient concentrations to exert biological effects. The compound may be metabolized by gut microbiota to absorbable metabolites. Comprehensive pharmacokinetic studies would be required for therapeutic development.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No detailed toxicology data is publicly available for keracyanin. As a naturally occurring anthocyanin found in many plants, keracyanin is generally considered safe at dietary levels. It has been shown to protect erythrocytes from apoptosis, indicating a lack of cytotoxicity at effective concentrations. However, comprehensive toxicological evaluation would be required for therapeutic development. The compound's antioxidant properties suggest it may have a favorable safety profile, but potential effects at high doses would need to be assessed. The compound is for research use only.
