Product Description
Morellic is extracted from Garcinia Morella and has anti-angiogenic activity.
Introduction: Morellic acid is a caged polyprenylated xanthone isolated from the resin of Garcinia hanburyi Hook. f. It is one of eleven known xanthones obtained from the plant resin and has been evaluated for its cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines as well as its antiangiogenic activity in zebrafish models and human endothelial cell assays. [2]
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
IC50: antiangiogenic
ln Vitro
Morel acid, at a low concentration of 0.5 µM, can inhibit HUVEC migration in in vitro experiments on HUVEC cell migration [1].
- Morellic acid exhibited cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines (HeLa, A549, HCT-116, HepG-2) and inhibited proliferation of HUVEC cells in MTT assays. The IC50 values were: HeLa 13.78 μM, A549 14.23 μM, HCT-116 8.89 μM, HepG-2 13.34 μM, and HUVEC 6.14 μM. [2]
- Morellic acid at a concentration of 0.5 μM strongly inhibited the migration of HUVEC in a wound migration assay. After wounding, HUVECs were incubated with fresh medium containing 0.5 μM of the compound, and cell movement into the wound area was examined after 24 hours, showing remarkable inhibition compared to control. [2]
ln Vivo
- In a transgenic zebrafish (Tg(flk1:EGFP)) model, Morellic acid showed antiangiogenic activity. At concentrations of 4 μM, 8 μM, 16 μM and 32 μM, it exhibited inhibitory effects on the growth of intersegmental vessels (ISVs). Compared to the water-treated control, most ISVs were incompletely formed. The antiangiogenic effect was comparable to gambogic acid (xanthone 1) but required higher concentrations (active at 4 μM vs. 1-2 μM for gambogic acid). [2]
Cell Assay
- Cytotoxicity and anti-proliferation were assessed by the MTT assay. Human cancer cell lines (HeLa, A549, HCT-116, HepG-2) and HUVEC cells were seeded in 96-well plates and treated with various concentrations of Morellic acid for a specified duration. After treatment, MTT solution was added and incubated for 4 hours, then the formazan crystals were dissolved in DMSO, and absorbance was measured at 570 nm (or reference wavelength). The IC50 values were calculated from dose-response curves. [2]
- HUVEC wound migration assay: HUVECs were seeded at a density of 2×10^5 per well in 6-well plates pre-coated with 1% gelatin and grown overnight in DMEM with 10% FBS until 100% confluence. A wound area was created by scraping the cell monolayer with a plastic tip. Cells were then incubated with fresh DMEM medium containing 0.5 μM Morellic acid. After 24 hours, migration and cell movement into the wound area were examined and photographed. [2]
Animal Protocol
- Antiangiogenic activity assay in zebrafish embryos: A transgenic zebrafish line Tg(flk1:EGFP) was used. Adult zebrafish were maintained at 28.5°C. Embryos were generated by natural pair-wise mating, collected, and raised at 28.5°C in embryo water. At 6 hours post-fertilization (hpf), embryos at the shield stage were sorted and placed into 24-well plates (8 embryos per well) containing 1 mL embryo water. Morellic acid was added at various concentrations (e.g., 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 μM) from the shield stage (about 6 hpf). After 24 hours of drug treatment, embryos were anesthetized with 0.05% 2-phenoxyethanol in embryo water. Then embryos were placed on a slide and examined for the presence of ectopic vessels in the subintestinal vessel plexus (SIV) under a fluorescence microscope. Photographs were taken to assess antiangiogenic effects. [2]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
- In zebrafish embryos, Morellic acid caused death of all embryos at the highest concentration tested (8 μM). Death rates: at 1 μM: 0/8; 2 μM: 0/8; 4 μM: 0/8; 8 μM: 8/8 (all dead). [2]
- Morellic acid decreased the heart rates of zebrafish embryos in a concentration-dependent manner. Heart rates (per 10 seconds) were: control (embryo water) 21; at 1 μM: 16; at 2 μM: 10; at 4 μM: 8; at 8 μM: 6; at higher concentrations (16, 32 μM) no data due to death or inactivity. [2]

Additional Infomation
(-)-Morellic Acid has been reported in Garcinia gaudichaudii, Garcinia lateriflora, and other organisms with available data.
- Morellic acid (xanthone 3) was isolated from the resin of Garcinia hanburyi along with ten other known caged polyprenylated xanthones (1-11). Its structure was identified by MS, NMR, and UV spectroscopy, and confirmed by comparison with literature data. [2]
- The antiangiogenic activity of Morellic acid was evaluated together with gambogic acid (GA), isogambogenic acid, and gambogenin. While GA showed antiangiogenic effects at lower concentrations (1-2 μM), Morellic acid required higher concentrations (≥4 μM) and exhibited greater toxicity (lethal at 8 μM) compared to gambogenin (xanthone 7), which had no toxicity up to 32 μM.
