Product Description
Oroxylin A is an active flavonoid compound with strong anti-cancer effects.
Oroxylin A (CAS#: 480-11-5) is an O-methylated flavone (5,7-dihydroxy-6-methoxyflavone) found in Scutellaria baicalensis and Oroxylum indicum. It is an active flavonoid with strong anti-cancer effects. Oroxylin A inhibits the IL-6/STAT3 pathway and NF-κB signaling, inhibits cell proliferation, and induces apoptosis. It functions as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor and a negative allosteric modulator of the benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptor. The compound has been found to improve memory consolidation in mice by elevating brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Its molecular formula is C16H12O5 with a molecular weight of 284.27 g/mol.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Oroxylin A targets multiple pathways including IL-6/STAT3, NF-κB, CDK9, MDM2, and SIRT1. It inhibits the phosphorylation of MDM2 and SIRT1 through CDK9 inhibition, thus inhibiting MDM2-mediated degradation of P53 and SIRT1-mediated deacetylation of P53, ultimately stabilizing the P53 protein. The compound acts as a transketolase (TKT) inhibitor with a SPR KD of 70.7 μM. It inhibits the activation of hepatic stellate cells by inhibiting SIRT7. Oroxylin A also modulates drug resistance by targeting efflux pump genes.
ln Vitro
Oroxylin A (20 μM; 24 hours) prevents MDA-MB-231 cells from proliferating, growing, and migrating. Moreover, oroxylin A can prevent MDA-MB-231 from invading and from going through the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway [4]. Moreover, oroxylin A (20 μM; 24 h) suppresses the NF-κB signaling pathway and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression [4]. TNF-α neutralizes the anti-inflammatory properties of oroxylin A [4].
In vitro, Oroxylin A demonstrates strong anticancer activity against various cancer cell lines. It inhibits the IL-6/STAT3 pathway and NF-κB signaling, inhibiting cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis. The compound inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma growth in vitro. It functions as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Oroxylin A has been shown to modulate drug resistance by targeting efflux pump genes, reducing the expulsion of therapeutic agents from cells. Its effects on immune response modulation have also been reported.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Oroxylin A inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma growth. It has been found to improve memory consolidation in mice by elevating brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). The compound modulates drug resistance by targeting efflux pump genes. It may enhance immune system responses, contributing to improved antiviral defenses. Oroxylin A has been studied in various animal models for its anti-cancer, neuroprotective, and immunomodulatory effects. Further in vivo studies are ongoing to fully characterize its therapeutic potential.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Oroxylin A include transketolase inhibition studies with SPR KD determination of 70.7 μM. GABAA receptor binding assays assess negative allosteric modulation of the benzodiazepine site. Dopamine reuptake inhibition is measured using synaptosomal preparations or cells expressing dopamine transporters. CDK9 kinase activity assays are performed to assess inhibition of MDM2 and SIRT1 phosphorylation. NF-κB DNA binding assays and STAT3 phosphorylation studies are conducted to evaluate pathway inhibition. Assays are performed in appropriate buffer systems with positive controls.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Oroxylin A are conducted in various cancer cell lines including hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Cells are cultured in appropriate media at 37°C with 5% CO2 and treated with Oroxylin A at varying concentrations. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or CCK-8 assays. Apoptosis is evaluated by Annexin V/PI staining and caspase activity assays. P53 protein levels and phosphorylation status are analyzed by Western blot. IL-6/STAT3 and NF-κB pathway activation is assessed by Western blot or reporter gene assays. Experiments are performed in triplicate with appropriate controls.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Oroxylin A are conducted in mouse models of hepatocellular carcinoma and other cancers. Tumor-bearing mice are treated with Oroxylin A via oral administration or intraperitoneal injection. Tumor growth is monitored by caliper measurements. For memory studies, mice are treated with Oroxylin A and assessed in behavioral tests such as Morris water maze. BDNF levels in brain tissues are measured by ELISA or Western blot. For immunomodulation studies, animal models of infection or immune challenge are used. Dosing regimens are optimized based on pharmacokinetic data.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism / Metabolites
The known human metabolites of Oroxylin A include (2S,3S,4S,5R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(5-hydroxy-6-methoxy-4-oxo-2-phenylchromene-7-yl)oxaoxane-2-carboxylic acid.
Oroxylin A (MW 284.27 g/mol, C16H12O5) is a flavonoid with favorable drug-like properties. The compound is an O-methylated flavone with good oral bioavailability as demonstrated by its efficacy in oral administration studies. Oroxylin A is metabolized by hepatic enzymes. The compound is distributed to tissues including brain, as evidenced by its effects on memory consolidation and BDNF elevation. Pharmacokinetic parameters such as Cmax, Tmax, and half-life would be determined in species-specific studies. The compound shows stability under recommended storage conditions.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Oroxylin A is generally well-tolerated in preclinical studies at therapeutic doses. The compound is a natural flavonoid derived from Scutellaria baicalensis and Oroxylum indicum, plants used in traditional medicine. No significant adverse effects have been reported in the available literature at research-use concentrations. The compound is intended for research use only. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling. Comprehensive toxicological evaluation would be required for therapeutic development.
