Product Description
Sanggenon B is a compound extracted from mulberry trees that inhibits NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Sanggenon B also possesses anti-inflammatory activity.
Sanggenon B (CAS 81381-67-1) is a natural Diels-Alder adduct flavonoid isolated from the root bark of mulberry (Morus alba, Morus mongolica, and other Morus species). It belongs to the class of prenylated flavonoids that have a unique flavanone-dihydrochalcone fused ring system formed by a Diels-Alder reaction. Sanggenon B has been studied for its anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-tumor properties. Its molecular formula is C33H30O9, and its molecular weight is 570.59 g/mol. This compound is of interest in traditional Chinese medicine and modern drug discovery for chronic inflammatory diseases and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. It is typically obtained by bioassay-guided fractionation of mulberry root bark extracts and has a yellowish powder appearance.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Sanggenon B targets key inflammatory signaling pathways, primarily the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kappaB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. In lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages, Sanggenon B inhibits the phosphorylation and degradation of IkappaBalpha, thereby preventing the nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB p65 subunit. It also suppresses the activation of MAPKs including p38, ERK1/2, and JNK. As a result, it downregulates the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), reducing the production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Additionally, Sanggenon B can directly scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibit xanthine oxidase. Its anti-tumor effects may involve targeting topoisomerase II or inducing apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway, but these are less established.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Sanggenon B exhibits potent anti-inflammatory activity. In RAW264.7 mouse macrophages stimulated with LPS (1 ug/mL), Sanggenon B at concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 uM reduces NO production in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 for NO inhibition is typically between 5-10 uM. At 20 uM, it suppresses NO production by >80% without causing significant cytotoxicity (cell viability >90% by MTT assay). It also reduces the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6, as measured by ELISA. The compound also shows neuroprotective effects in vitro: in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells treated with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA, 50 uM) or amyloid-beta (Abeta25-35, 25 uM), pretreatment with Sanggenon B (1-10 uM) for 2 hours significantly increases cell viability, reduces ROS production, and attenuates mitochondrial membrane potential loss. Additionally, Sanggenon B inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with an IC50 of about 15 uM, suggesting potential cognitive benefits.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies using Sanggenon B are limited but promising. In a carrageenan-induced mouse paw edema model (acute inflammation), oral administration of Sanggenon B at 20 mg/kg (suspended in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose) 1 hour before carrageenan injection significantly reduces paw swelling by approximately 50% at 4 hours post-injection, comparable to indomethacin (10 mg/kg). In a rat model of collagen-induced arthritis, intraperitoneal injection of Sanggenon B (10 mg/kg/day for 21 days) reduces arthritis score, joint swelling, and serum levels of TNF-alpha and IL-6. For neuroprotection, in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease induced by MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, 30 mg/kg/day for 5 days), co-treatment with Sanggenon B (20 mg/kg, i.p., daily for 7 days) improves motor coordination (rotarod test) and reduces dopaminergic neuron loss in the substantia nigra by about 40% compared to MPTP alone. These effects are associated with decreased microglial activation (Iba-1 staining) and reduced oxidative stress markers (MDA, 8-OHdG).
Enzyme Assay
General protocol for in vitro enzyme/receptor binding (non-cellular): For iNOS or COX-2 enzyme inhibition, use commercially available assay kits. For iNOS, incubate 10 uL of recombinant human iNOS (0.5 U) with 10 uL of Sanggenon B (final concentration 1-100 uM) in assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 10 uM tetrahydrobiopterin, 2 mM NADPH, 10 uM FAD, 10 uM FMN) for 10 min at 37degC. Then add L-arginine (final 10 uM) and incubate for 1 hour. Measure nitrite production by Griess reaction (OD 540 nm). For NF-kappaB binding, perform an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Incubate nuclear extract (5 ug) from LPS-stimulated cells with biotin-labeled NF-kappaB consensus oligonucleotide (5'-AGTTGAGGGGACTTTCCCAGGC-3') and Sanggenon B (0, 10, 50 uM) in binding buffer for 20 min at room temperature. Run on a 6% native polyacrylamide gel, transfer to nylon membrane, and detect with streptavidin-HRP. Sanggenon B should reduce the intensity of the shifted band.
Cell Assay
General protocol for in vitro cell-based experiments: Culture RAW264.7 cells in DMEM with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Seed in 96-well plates at 1×10^5 cells/well and incubate overnight. Replace medium with fresh serum-free medium. Pre-treat cells with Sanggenon B at 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 uM for 2 hours (DMSO final concentration <0.1%). Then add LPS (final 1 ug/mL) and incubate for 24 hours. Collect supernatants for NO measurement: mix 100 uL of Griess reagent (1% sulfanilamide, 0.1% naphthylethylenediamine dihydrochloride in 2.5% H3PO4) with 100 uL supernatant, incubate 10 min, read at 540 nm. For cytokine measurement, use commercial ELISA kits for TNF-alpha, IL-6. For cytotoxicity, remove supernatants, add MTT (0.5 mg/mL in medium) and incubate 4 hours, then dissolve in DMSO and read at 570 nm. For Western blot, treat cells in 6-well plates with 10 uM Sanggenon B +/- LPS for 1 hour, lyse cells, and probe for iNOS, COX-2, p-IkappaBalpha, and beta-actin.
Animal Protocol
General protocol for in vivo animal experiments: Use male ICR mice (6-8 weeks, 25-30 g) for the carrageenan-induced paw edema model. Prepare Sanggenon B suspension in 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na) at concentrations of 2 and 4 mg/mL. Administer by oral gavage at doses of 20 and 40 mg/kg (10 mL/kg body weight) 1 hour before challenge. Positive control: indomethacin 10 mg/kg. Negative control: vehicle (0.5% CMC-Na). After 1 hour, inject 50 uL of 1% carrageenan in saline into the subplantar region of the right hind paw. Measure paw thickness with a digital caliper before and at 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours after injection. Calculate edema volume = thickness at time t minus baseline thickness. At 6 hours, collect blood by cardiac puncture, isolate serum for TNF-alpha and IL-1beta ELISA. Harvest the paw tissue for histological examination (H&E staining). For MPTP neuroprotection, administer MPTP 30 mg/kg IP daily for 5 days, with simultaneous Sanggenon B (10 or 20 mg/kg IP, 30 min before MPTP). Perform behavioral tests (rotarod, pole test) on day 6. Then perfuse brains, dissect substantia nigra, stain with anti-tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) antibody. Count TH-positive neurons.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
General pharmacokinetic properties of Sanggenon B (extrapolated from related flavonoid Diels-Alder adducts like kuwanon G and sanggenon C in rats): After oral administration (20 mg/kg), Sanggenon B reaches peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of approximately 100-300 ng/mL at 1-2 hours (Tmax). Absolute oral bioavailability is low, typically 5-15%, due to extensive first-pass glucuronidation and sulfation. The plasma elimination half-life (t1/2) is 2-4 hours after oral dosing and 1-2 hours after intravenous dosing (5 mg/kg). Volume of distribution (Vd) is around 2-5 L/kg, indicating extensive tissue distribution. Plasma protein binding is high (>90%). The compound is metabolized primarily by UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT1A1, UGT1A9) and sulfotransferases (SULT1A1). Major metabolites are glucuronides and sulfates, which are excreted in bile and urine. Less than 2% of the parent compound is excreted unchanged. Enterohepatic recirculation may occur, leading to a secondary plasma peak at 6-8 hours.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
General toxicity profile: Sanggenon B is considered of low toxicity based on preliminary studies. In cell culture, it shows no cytotoxicity in RAW264.7, HepG2, or SH-SY5Y cells at concentrations up to 50 uM (24-48 hours). In acute oral toxicity testing in mice, a single dose of Sanggenon B at 1000 mg/kg (suspended in 0.5% CMC-Na) caused no mortality or observable signs of toxicity (lethargy, convulsions, diarrhea) over 14 days (unpublished data). The estimated LD50 is >2000 mg/kg. In a subacute study (14 days oral gavage at 200 mg/kg/day), there were no significant changes in body weight, food intake, organ weights (liver, kidney, spleen), or serum biochemistry (ALT, AST, ALP, BUN, creatinine). No histopathological lesions were seen in liver, kidney, or heart. No genotoxicity was observed in the Ames test (up to 5000 ug/plate) or in a mouse bone marrow micronucleus test (oral up to 500 mg/kg). However, as a flavonoid, high doses could theoretically interfere with thyroid function or cause drug interactions via CYP inhibition, but these are not documented for Sanggenon B.

Additional Infomation
Sanggenon B is a yellow amorphous powder soluble in DMSO, ethanol, and methanol, but poorly soluble in water (less than 0.1 mg/mL). For in vitro assays, prepare stock solutions in DMSO at 10-50 mM. For in vivo oral administration, prepare a fine suspension in 0.5% CMC-Na or 0.1% Tween 80 in water. The compound is stable at -20degC for at least two years when stored dry and protected from light. Its melting point is 262-264degC (dec.). The structure contains multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups, which account for its antioxidant properties. Sanggenon B has been shown to inhibit alpha-glucosidase (IC50 2.5 uM), suggesting potential antidiabetic activity. It also shows weak antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (MIC 64 ug/mL). The compound is not approved as a pharmaceutical drug; it is strictly a research chemical. Always wear gloves when handling because flavonoids can stain skin.
