Product Description
(-)-Maackiain is a pterostilbene phytoalexin generated by Sophora flavescens. (-)-Maackiain is toxic to several fungal pathogens in legume and non-legume hosts.
Maackiain (CAS#: 2035-15-6) is a natural pterocarpan phytoalexin isolated from legumes such as Sophora flavescens. It is a multi-targeted bioactive compound with anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and anticancer properties. Maackiain functions as an immunomodulatory agent and has been investigated for its potential in treating allergic diseases, inflammatory conditions, and various cancers.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Maackiain targets multiple cellular proteins and pathways. It inhibits the histamine H1 receptor (H1R) and suppresses IL-4 gene transcription. It inhibits PKCδ activation and activates the caspase-1 pathway. Maackiain also inhibits NF-κB pathway activation, activates the NLRP3 inflammasome, and modulates AMPK/mTOR/autophagy signaling. It functions as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
ln Vitro
Maackiain inhibits proliferation, arrests cell cycle, and induces apoptosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE1 and CNE2 cells. It suppresses cervical cancer development via AMPK-mediated autophagy activation. Maackiain shows anti-endometrial cancer effects and induces apoptosis and autophagy via ROS-mediated ER stress. It also exhibits antifungal activity against several fungal pathogens.
ln Vivo
Maackiain significantly suppresses xenograft tumor growth in mouse models of cervical cancer and endometrial cancer while exhibiting low toxicity. It enhances the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and exhibits immunostimulatory and anti-inflammatory activities. The compound has demonstrated potential in chemoprevention of oral cancer in mice.
Enzyme Assay
Maackiain binding to histamine H1 receptor is assessed using radioligand binding assays with membrane preparations from cells expressing the receptor. Tyrosine kinase inhibition is measured using kinase activity assays with recombinant kinases and peptide substrates. NF-κB pathway modulation is evaluated by measuring p65 DNA-binding activity via ELISA.
Cell Assay
NPC CNE1 and CNE2 cells, cervical cancer cells, or endometrial cancer cells are treated with Maackiain at various concentrations (typically 0-100 µM). Cell proliferation is assessed by CCK-8 or MTT assays. Apoptosis is evaluated by Annexin V/PI staining and caspase-3/7 activity. Autophagy is assessed by LC3-II/I ratio and p62 levels via Western blot.
Animal Protocol
Maackiain is evaluated in mouse xenograft models of cervical cancer or endometrial cancer. Tumor-bearing mice are treated with Maackiain via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection. Tumor growth inhibition, body weight, and survival are monitored. Tumor tissues are analyzed for proliferation markers, apoptosis, and pathway modulation.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism / Metabolites
Maackiain's known human metabolites include (2S,3S,4S,5R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-[[(1R,12R)-5,7,11,19-tetraoxapentane[10.8.0.02,10.04,8.013,18]eicos-2,4(8),9,13(18),14,16-hexen-16-yl]oxy]oxacyclohexane-2-carboxylic acid.
Maackiain has molecular weight 284.26 and formula C16H12O5. Pharmacokinetic studies indicate that Maackiain possesses low bioavailability and absorption with a rapid rate of elimination. However, absorption rates are significantly higher when administered as part of an extract compared to pure forms, likely due to enhanced solubility and reduced metabolism.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Maackiain is non-toxic to the majority of normal cells and exhibits selective cytotoxicity towards cancer cells. In xenograft models, Maackiain demonstrates low toxicity at therapeutic doses. The compound has been reported to reduce Aβ(42)-induced neurotoxicity and apoptosis in PC12 cells. Comprehensive toxicity profiling is available in recent review literature.

Additional Infomation
(-)-maackiain is the (-)-enantiomer of maackiain. It is the enantiomer of (+)-maackiain. Maackiain has been reported in Pongamia pinnata var., Pongamia pinnata, Caragana frutex, and other organisms for which data are available. See also: (+)-Maackiain (note moved to).
Maackiain is emerging as a drug candidate for allergic diseases, inflammation, obesity, and depression. Its anti-allergic mechanism involves suppression of histamine H1 receptor gene upregulation. The compound activates the caspase-1 pathway and promotes IL-1β production while inhibiting NF-κB activation. No clinical trials or approved therapeutic indications exist for this compound.
These protocols are for reference only. InvivoChem does not independently validate these methods.
