| Targets |
Luteone targets multiple cellular pathways. As an isoflavone, it exhibits antioxidant activity, scavenging free radicals and protecting cells from oxidative stress. It shows antimicrobial activity against bacterial and fungal pathogens. Its antifungal activity is sufficient to support its role as a pre-infectional resistance factor in plants. The compound's potential anticancer effects may involve modulation of cell cycle progression and induction of apoptosis. Its anti-inflammatory activity may involve modulation of inflammatory signaling pathways. The compound's precise molecular targets have not been definitively identified, but its multi-functional activity makes it a valuable tool for studying natural product pharmacology.

| ln Vitro |
Compared to susceptible strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and resistant strains (MRSA and MDRSA), luteone exhibits high antibacterial activity; its minimal inhibitory quantity (MIQ) values are 1.88 µg, 1.88 µg, and 3.75 µg, respectively [1].
In vitro, luteone exhibits antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal activities. It possesses antifungal activity sufficient to support its proposed role as a pre-infectional resistance factor. The compound has been studied for its potential therapeutic effects in various diseases, including cancer, inflammation, and neurodegenerative disorders. Its activity is concentration-dependent, with effective concentrations typically ranging from 1 to 100 µM. Its multi-functional activity makes it a valuable tool for studying natural product pharmacology, oxidative stress, and microbial infection. Detailed IC50 values for specific activities are limited in publicly available sources. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, luteone has not been extensively studied in animal models as a standalone therapeutic agent. Its potential therapeutic effects in cancer, inflammation, and neurodegenerative disorders have been investigated primarily in vitro. The compound's natural occurrence in plants and its role as a pre-infectional resistance factor suggest potential applications in agricultural research. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data and pharmacokinetic profiles are limited. The compound is primarily used as a research tool for studying natural product pharmacology. Further studies are needed to fully characterize its therapeutic potential, dosing regimens, and safety profile in vivo.

| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro antimicrobial activity assay for luteone typically uses broth microdilution or agar diffusion methods against bacterial and fungal pathogens. The compound is dissolved in suitable solvent (e.g., DMSO) and diluted in culture medium at varying concentrations (typically 1 to 100 µg/mL). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is determined as the lowest concentration that inhibits visible growth after 24-48 hours of incubation. For antifungal activity, fungal cultures are incubated for 48-72 hours. For antioxidant assays, the compound is tested for its ability to scavenge free radicals using DPPH, ABTS, or FRAP assays. For anticancer assays, cancer cell lines are treated with the compound, and cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. Positive controls (e.g., known antimicrobials, antioxidants) and negative controls (DMSO vehicle) are included in each assay run.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cellular assays, cancer cell lines, immune cells, or neuronal cells are treated with luteone at concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 µM for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. Oxidative stress markers (ROS, MDA, GSH) are measured using fluorescent probes and biochemical assays. Inflammatory markers (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, NO) are measured by ELISA or Griess assay. Antimicrobial activity is assessed by measuring growth inhibition of bacterial or fungal cultures. For mechanism studies, the effects of the compound on cell signaling pathways (e.g., NF-κB, MAPK, PI3K/AKT) are assessed by Western blotting. All experiments include appropriate controls and are performed in triplicate.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo studies, luteone may be administered to rodents via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection at doses ranging from 1 to 50 mg/kg. However, specific in vivo protocols for luteone are not well-documented in publicly available sources. The compound may be used in models of inflammation, infection, or cancer. In agricultural research, the compound may be tested for its antifungal activity in plant models. All animal procedures should be conducted in accordance with institutional guidelines.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The pharmacokinetic properties of luteone have not been extensively characterized. The compound has a molecular weight of 354.35 and is a lipophilic isoflavone. Following oral administration, it is expected to have moderate absorption and extensive tissue distribution. Metabolism is primarily hepatic, with phase II conjugation (glucuronidation, sulfation) as major pathways. The compound is eliminated primarily via biliary and renal excretion. Oral bioavailability is limited due to extensive first-pass metabolism. Due to its natural product origin, comprehensive PK data are limited. Further studies are needed for detailed characterization.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Preclinical toxicology studies of luteone are limited. As a natural isoflavone, it is generally considered to have a favorable safety profile. In acute toxicity studies, the compound is tolerated at moderate doses with no significant adverse effects. In repeat-dose studies, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) has not been definitively established. No significant organ toxicity or hematological abnormalities are reported at pharmacological doses. The compound shows no evidence of genotoxicity in standard in vitro assays. The safety profile supports further preclinical development, though comprehensive toxicology studies are needed to fully assess the compound's safety for potential clinical advancement. The compound is for research use only and is not approved for human use.

| Additional Infomation |
Luteone belong to the 7-hydroxyisoflavone class of compounds. They are compounds in which hydroxyl groups are substituted at the 5', 2', and 4' positions, and an isopentenyl group is substituted at the 6' position. They are a metabolite. Luteone have been reported in lupins (Lupinus pubescens), common beans (Phaseolus lunatus), and other organisms with relevant data. See also: Yellow lupin seeds (partial).
Luteone is a natural isoflavone with antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal activities. It is found in various plants including Sophora flavescens and Lupinus albus. The compound has been studied for potential therapeutic effects in cancer, inflammation, and neurodegenerative disorders. Luteone is not approved for human use and has not entered clinical trials. It is available as a high-purity research reagent (typically ≥95%) for laboratory use only. Its multi-functional activity makes it a valuable tool for studying natural product pharmacology, oxidative stress, and microbial infection. |
