Product Description
Magnolin is the major component of Magnolia liliiflora. It targets ERK1 and ERK2 with IC50s of 87 nM and 16.5 nM respectively, thereby inhibiting the Ras/ERKs/RSK2 signaling pathway.
Magnolin (CAS 31008-18-1) is a major bioactive lignan compound isolated from Magnolia liliiflora (known as Xin-yi in traditional Chinese medicine). It is a naturally occurring small molecule that selectively targets the active pockets of ERK1 and ERK2, two key signaling molecules in the Ras/ERKs/RSK2 signaling pathway. Magnolin has attracted significant research interest due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and potential anticancer properties. It has been shown to reduce renal oxidative stress, suppress caspase-3 activity, and increase Bcl-2 expression both in vitro and in vivo. The compound is also reported to inhibit the production of nitric oxide in LPS-stimulated mouse BV2 microglial cells and exhibits inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Magnolin primarily targets ERK1 and ERK2, which are members of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase family and important signaling molecules in cancer cell metastasis. It inhibits ERK1 and ERK2 with IC50 values of 87 nM and 16.5 nM, respectively. By binding to the active pockets of these kinases, Magnolin inhibits the Ras/ERKs/RSK2 signaling pathway. This inhibition subsequently suppresses NF-kappaB transactivation activity and reduces the production of pro-inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The compound also blocks the phosphorylation of IkappaBalpha Ser32, which is mediated by ERK1/2/RSK2 signaling, thereby preventing NF-kappaB activation and cell migration.
ln Vitro
Research on seawater, nasal congestion, and anti-inflammatory qualities has been conducted using magnolin, a naturally occurring compound that is concentrated in magnolia flowers. Important signaling molecules in menthol, ERK1 and ERK2, have active pores that are regulated by magnolin. By blocking the extracellular signal regulatory switch (ERK), a crucial signal that controls apoptosis, transformation, and cell migration, magnoli prevents the synthesis of tumor factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and probene E2 (PGE2). chemical. The administration of Magnolin significantly and dose-dependently inhibited the migration of JB6 Cl41 cells that had been stimulated by EGF treatment. Magnolin prevents NF-κB activation and cell migration by blocking the phosphorylation of IκBα Ser32, which is mediated by ERK1/2/RSK2 signaling [1].
In vitro, Magnolin exhibits potent inhibitory activity against ERK1 and ERK2 with IC50 values of 87 nM and 16.5 nM, respectively. It significantly and dose-dependently inhibits the migration of EGF-stimulated JB6 Cl41 cells. Magnolin also reduces nitric oxide production in LPS-stimulated mouse BV2 microglial cells with an IC50 value of 20,500 nM, as measured by nitrite accumulation using the Griess reagent method. Additionally, it demonstrates inhibitory bioactivity against acetylcholinesterase with an IC50 value of 903 nM and inhibition greater than 90% at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 100 uM. These properties suggest potential applications in modulating cholinergic neurotransmission and reducing inflammatory responses.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Magnolin has been shown to reduce renal oxidative stress, suppress caspase-3 activity, and increase Bcl-2 expression, demonstrating both anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects. It ameliorates renal tubular necrosis, apoptosis, and the deterioration of renal function in animal models. The compound's ability to inhibit the Ras/ERKs/RSK2 signaling pathway in vivo contributes to its therapeutic potential in conditions associated with oxidative stress and inflammation. Magnolin has also been studied for its effects on nasal congestion and anti-inflammatory properties, suggesting potential applications in respiratory and inflammatory disorders. Further in vivo studies are needed to fully characterize its efficacy and safety profile.
Enzyme Assay
A typical cell-free assay for Magnolin involves assessing its inhibitory activity against ERK1 and ERK2 kinases. Recombinant ERK1 or ERK2 enzymes are incubated with a peptide substrate, ATP, and various concentrations of Magnolin in a kinase buffer at 30degC for 30-60 minutes. The amount of phosphorylated substrate is measured using a kinase activity assay kit, such as a luminescent ATP detection assay or a radioactive filter-binding assay. The IC50 values are determined by plotting the percentage of kinase activity remaining against the compound concentration. For acetylcholinesterase inhibition, the enzyme is incubated with acetylthiocholine iodide and Magnolin, and the activity is measured using Ellman's method.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular experiments, cells such as JB6 Cl41 mouse epidermal cells or BV2 mouse microglial cells are cultured in appropriate media and treated with Magnolin at various concentrations (typically 0.1-100 uM). For migration assays, cells are stimulated with EGF and the inhibitory effect of Magnolin on cell migration is assessed using wound healing or Boyden chamber assays. For anti-inflammatory studies, BV2 cells are stimulated with LPS and Magnolin is added simultaneously. After 20 hours of incubation, nitrite accumulation in the culture medium is measured using the Griess reagent to assess nitric oxide production. Cell viability is typically assessed using MTT or CCK-8 assays to ensure that observed effects are not due to cytotoxicity.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with Magnolin typically involve oral administration in rodent models. A common protocol involves administering Magnolin to mice or rats at doses ranging from 10-50 mg/kg body weight, either as a single dose or daily for 1-4 weeks. For renal protection studies, animals are subjected to renal ischemia-reperfusion injury or treated with nephrotoxic agents, and Magnolin is administered prophylactically or therapeutically. Kidney function is assessed by measuring serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels, and renal tissue is collected for histopathological examination and analysis of oxidative stress markers, caspase-3 activity, and Bcl-2 expression. Blood and tissue samples are collected for pharmacokinetic and biochemical analysis.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Magnolin is a small molecule with a molecular weight of 416.46 g/mol and a molecular formula of C23H28O7. It is soluble in DMSO (250 mg/mL) and has a density of 1.178 g/cm3. As a natural product, its pharmacokinetic properties are not extensively characterized, but it is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability due to its lipophilic nature (LogP 2.78). The compound is stable as a powder at -20degC for up to 3 years and in solution at -80degC for 1 year. Further pharmacokinetic studies, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion profiles, are needed to fully characterize its properties for therapeutic development.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Magnolin has not been extensively characterized in preclinical studies. However, as a major component of Magnolia liliiflora, which has been used in traditional medicine, it is generally considered to have a favorable safety profile at pharmacological doses. In vitro studies have shown that Magnolin exhibits inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase, which may have implications for cholinergic signaling at higher concentrations. The compound should be handled with standard laboratory precautions, and its use is intended for research purposes only. Further toxicological studies are needed to establish its full safety profile for potential therapeutic applications.
