Product Description
Licochalcone C is a naturally occuring chalcone compound and a potent inhibitor of lipopolysaccharide-interferon-γ inflammation. It inhibits α-glucosidase, with IC50s of<100 nM and 92.43 μM for α-glucosidase and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), respectively. It acts by improving antioxidant conditions and regulating inducible nitric oxide synthase expression. It acts as an inhibitor of recombinant human PTP1B assessed as hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate
Licochalcone C (LicoC) is a naturally occurring chalcone compound found in Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice). It has a molecular formula of C21H22O4 and a molecular weight of 338.40. Licochalcone C is a potent inhibitor of lipopolysaccharide-interferon-γ inflammation. It has potent antioxidant properties and inhibits bacterial growth and cellular respiration. It is also a potent and selective α-glucosidase inhibitor, making it of interest for diabetes and metabolic disease research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
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.
Enzyme Assay
The primary in vitro assays for Licochalcone C include α-glucosidase inhibition assays, where the enzyme is incubated with a substrate and the compound, and the production of the product is measured spectrophotometrically. Antioxidant activity is assessed using standard free radical scavenging assays. Anti-inflammatory activity can be assessed by measuring the inhibition of inflammatory mediators in cell-based assays.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular experiments involve treating immune cells or other cell types with Licochalcone C and measuring its effects on inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, and cell viability. The compound's ability to inhibit LPS-induced inflammation can be assessed by measuring the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Its effects on bacterial growth can be assessed in culture.

  • 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)
