| ln Vitro |
Medioresinol exhibits antifungal activity against Candida albicans by inducing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis. It has antibacterial and bactericidal activities. The compound synergizes with antibiotics to enhance antimicrobial and antibiofilm effects. It also has leishmanicidal activity.
|
| ln Vivo |
Medioresinol has been reported to have in vivo efficacy in models of fungal infection. The compound may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. It enhances the efficacy of antibiotics through its antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties. Further in vivo studies would be needed to fully characterize its therapeutic potential.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro antifungal assays use Candida albicans cultures grown in appropriate medium. Medioresinol is added at concentrations ranging from 1-100 µg/mL. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is determined by broth microdilution according to CLSI guidelines. ROS accumulation is measured using fluorescent probes (e.g., DCFH-DA). Mitochondrial membrane potential is assessed using JC-1 dye. Apoptosis is confirmed by Annexin V/PI staining and flow cytometry.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays are performed using Candida albicans or bacterial cultures. Cells are treated with Medioresinol at concentrations ranging from 1-100 µg/mL for 4-24 hours. Cell viability is measured by CFU counting or using resazurin-based assays. ROS levels are measured by fluorescence. Mitochondrial dysfunction is assessed by measuring ATP levels and cytochrome c release. Antibiofilm activity is evaluated using crystal violet staining of biofilm biomass.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo efficacy is evaluated in mouse models of candidiasis. Mice are infected with Candida albicans intravenously or orally. Medioresinol is administered orally or intraperitoneally at doses ranging from 10-100 mg/kg. Survival, fungal burden in organs (kidney, liver, spleen), and histopathological analysis are assessed. For cardiovascular studies, appropriate models of atherosclerosis or dyslipidemia would be used.

*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.
