Product Description
Pinoresinol 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside ((+)-Pinoresinol 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside) is the main active furofuran lignan in Forsythia suspensa. Pinoresinol 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside has antioxidant, anti-hypertensive (blood pressure lowering), and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) phosphodiesterase inhibitory activities.
Pinoresinol 4-O-glucoside is a lignan glycoside identified in Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. and Prunus domestica (prunes), where it is a more soluble and stable derivative of pinoresinol [1][4][6]. It activates estrogen receptor-dependent transcription and shows anti‑influenza virus activity, antihyperglycaemic effects via α‑glucosidase inhibition, antioxidant properties, and hepatoprotective activity [1][2][4].
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets

α‑glucosidase: IC50 = 48.13 ± 1.5 μg/mL [4].
α‑amylase: IC50 = 153.31 ± 1.5 μg/mL [4].
Influenza A/PR/8/34 (H1N1): CPE inhibition IC50 = 18.7 μM [2].
Other influenza strains (CPE inhibition): A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) IC50 = 24.5±4.5 μM, A/FM/1/47 (H1N1) IC50 = 39.8±11.5 μM, A/Aichi/2/68 (H3N2) IC50 = 16.3±2.3 μM, B/Lee/1940 IC50 = 13.4±4.1 μM [2].
Plaque reduction assay (H1N1, H3N2): IC50 values 19.0–29.8 μM [2].
ln Vitro
In HeLa cells co‑transfected with ERE‑luciferase and ERα/ERβ, Pinoresinol 4-O-glucoside (10⁻⁷–10⁻⁴ M) increased luciferase activity; this was suppressed by ICI 182,780 (10⁻⁷ M) [1].
In MCF‑7 cells, it induced pS2 mRNA expression (dose‑dependent, 24 h), blocked by 0.1 μM ICI 182,780 [1].
In MCF‑7 cells (ERα+), it enhanced proliferation: RPE = 151±6.19% (10⁻⁶ M), 140±9.42% (10⁻⁵ M), 139±8.11% (10⁻⁴ M); effect blocked by 10⁻⁵ M ICI [1].
In MDA‑MB‑231 cells (ERα–), it inhibited proliferation at 10⁻⁴ M (RPE = 86.8±2.68%), not blocked by ICI [1].
Induced ERα nuclear translocation in MCF‑7 cells (immunofluorescence) [1].
Antioxidant: ABTS radical scavenging IC50 = 34.5±5.9 μg/mL, TAC = 1091.3±18.43 μmol/g ascorbic acid equivalents; FRAP TAC = 418.47±0.54 μmol/g ascorbic acid equivalents [4].
Anti‑influenza (CPE): inhibited human strains but not avian (IC50 >138.1 μM for H6N2, H7N3, H9N2) [2].
Anti‑influenza (plaque reduction): reduced plaques on MDCK cells [2].
Time‑of‑addition (A/PR/8/34 H1N1, MDCK): Pinoresinol 4-O-glucoside (134.3 μM) reduced viral titers at 0‑4 h post‑infection (CPE and real‑time PCR) [2].
In A549 cells infected with H1N1, it inhibited virus‑induced NF‑κB activation (37.5‑150 μM, dose‑dependent) and blocked nuclear translocation of p65 [2].
Blocked nuclear export of viral ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes in infected A549 cells [2][4].
ln Vivo
In male Swiss albino mice with CCl₄‑induced hepatotoxicity, oral Pinoresinol 4-O-glucoside (50 mg/kg b.w., 20 days) lowered serum AST (‑33.94%), ALT (‑3.01%), and lipid peroxides (‑49.96%); raised CAT (+130%), SOD (+90.45%), and TAS (+61.39%) versus CCl₄ control [4].

Cell Assay
Transient transfection and reporter assay: HeLa cells in 24‑well plates with CD‑FBS, co‑transfected with ERE‑TK‑Luc, ERα/β expression vectors, and pRL‑TK (control) using lipofectamine; after 18 h treated with compound for 24 h; lysates measured for luciferase and Renilla activity [1].

Additional Infomation
(+)-Pinoresinol 4-O-glucoside is a lignan and glycoside. (2S,3R,4S,5S,6R)-2-[4-[(3S,3aR,6S,6aR)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,3a,4,6,6a-hexahydrofurano[3,4-c]furan-6-yl]-2-methoxyphenoxy]-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxacyclohexane-3,4,5-triol has been reported in Ipomoea purpurea, Daphne odora, and other organisms with available data.
Biotechnological production: The endophytic fungus Phomopsis sp. XP‑8 produces Pinoresinol 4-O-glucoside (PMG). In mung bean polysaccharide medium (35 g/L) with fungal cells (100 g/L), PMG reached 5.60 mg/L after 56 h; production is induced by arabinose and galactose. A defined monosaccharide mixture (glucose 10 g/L, arabinose 5 g/L, galactose 6 g/L, xylose 8 g/L, mannose 2 g/L) gave 5.9 mg/L PMG after 56 h [6].
Selective estrogen receptor modulation: Pinoresinol 4-O-glucoside is one of several phytoestrogens from Eucommia ulmoides acting as a SERM [1].
Anti‑inflammatory activity: It inhibits NF‑κB activation and contributes to anti‑influenza effects [2][4].

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
