| Targets |
Licochalcone C targets multiple enzymes and pathways. It is a potent inhibitor of α-glucosidase, an enzyme involved in carbohydrate digestion. It also exhibits inhibitory activity against phosphatases. Its anti-inflammatory effects are attributed to its inhibition of lipopolysaccharide-interferon-γ-induced inflammation. Its antioxidant properties contribute to its biological activities.

| ln Vitro |
Licochalcone C has the ability to inhibit α-glucosidase, with IC50 values for PTP1B and α-glucosidase of 92.43 μM and less than 100 nM, respectively [1]. It was also demonstrated that licochalcone C induced apoptosis in T24 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. After being treated with licorice cone C, pro-apoptotic mRNAs (Bax and Bim) were more highly expressed whereas anti-apoptotic mRNAs (Bcl-2, Bcl-w, and Bcl-XL) were less abundant. ABT-737, a Bcl-2 family inhibitor, can lessen the amount of apoptosis that licoricechalcone C induces in T24 cells [2].
Licochalcone C demonstrates potent in vitro activity as an α-glucosidase inhibitor. It has potent antioxidant properties and inhibits bacterial growth and cellular respiration. It is a potent inhibitor of lipopolysaccharide-interferon-γ inflammation. Its activity has been confirmed in various biochemical and cellular assays. |
| ln Vivo |
Licochalcone C is a naturally occurring compound with potential therapeutic applications in diabetes, metabolic disease, and inflammation. Its ability to inhibit α-glucosidase suggests it could be useful for managing postprandial blood glucose levels. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may contribute to its beneficial effects in various disease models.

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.39 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.39 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
