Product Description
Plumericin is a drug with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial effects. It reduces apoptosis, promotes Nrf-2 expression, inhibits NF-κB and AhR activation, and blocks the STAT3 signaling pathway. Plumericin can also inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Plumericin can be used in research on chronic kidney disease, vascular diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, peritonitis, and tuberculosis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Plumericin (0.5-2 μM; pre-incubation for 1 hour, then co-incubation with IS for 24 hours) significantly reduced IS-induced apoptosis in IEC-6 cells, decreased Bax expression, and increased Bcl-2 expression [1]. Plumericin (0.5-2 μM; pre-incubation for 1 hour, then co-incubation with IS for 24 hours) significantly inhibited IS-induced expression of iNOS, COX-2, and caspase-1, as well as IL-1β production in IEC-6 cells [1]. Plumericin (0.3-3 μM; pre-incubation for 30 minutes, serum stimulation for 24 hours) inhibited serum-induced proliferation of primary rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells, with an IC50 of 1.11 μM, which was determined by the BrdU incorporation method after 30 minutes of pre-incubation and 24 hours of serum stimulation [2]. Plumericin (0.5-2 μM; 24 h) did not inhibit the proliferation of rat intestinal epithelial cells IEC-6[3]. Plumericin (0.3-10 μM; 30 min pretreatment + 4 h incubation) effectively inhibited TNF-α-induced and constitutively activated IKK-β-induced NF-κB pathway activation in HEK293/NF-κB-luc cells, with an IC50 of 1.07 μM for TNF-α-induced transcriptional activation, and did not change basal NF-κB activity[4]. Plumericin (0.5-2 μM; 24 h) significantly increased the migration rate of LPS + IFN-stimulated IEC-6 cells and promoted intestinal epithelial injury repair[5]. Plumericin (serial dilutions; MIC for 5 days, MBC for 6 weeks) inhibited the growth of pan-sensitive Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. The MIC was 2.1 ± 0.12 μg/mL, and the viable count was reduced by ≥99% at an MBC of 3.6 ± 0.22 μg/mL [6].
ln Vivo
In a DNBS-induced CD1 male mouse colitis model, plumerin (3 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once daily for 4 days) exhibited significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities [3]. Plumerin (3 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; twice daily) significantly reduced thioglycolate-induced peritoneal neutrophil recruitment in mice (P < 0.001) [4]. Plumerin (3 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once daily for 4 days) significantly alleviated colonic inflammation, PARP activation, and apoptosis damage in a DNBS-induced mouse colitis model [5].
Cell Assay
Apoptosis Analysis [1]
Cell Types: IEC-6 rat intestinal epithelial cells
Tested Concentrations: 0.5-2 μM
Incubation Duration: Pre-incubated for 1 hour, then co-incubated with IS for 24 hours
Experimental Results: IS-induced apoptosis was significantly reduced at all test concentrations. Compared with cells treated with IS alone, the expression of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax was significantly reduced at all test concentrations. Compared with cells treated with IS alone, the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was significantly increased at all test concentrations.
Immunofluorescence [1]
Cell Types: IEC-6 rat intestinal epithelial cells
Tested Concentrations: 1 μM
Incubation Duration: 1 hour before IS
Experimental Results: Compared with cells treated with IS alone, IS significantly reduced NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation and decreased nuclear NF-κB p65 fluorescence intensity.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models:CD1 mice (male, 20-25 g, DNBS-induced colitis) [3]
Doses: 3 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; once daily for 4 consecutive days
Experimental Results: Compared with mice injected with DNBS alone, weight loss was significantly reduced. Colonic shortening was inhibited compared with mice injected with DNBS alone. Macroscopic colonic injury score was significantly reduced. Histological manifestations of colonic injury were reduced, including reduced cell infiltration, edema and inflammatory lesions. Colonic TNF-α level was significantly reduced (P < .001 compared with DNBS group). DNBS-induced IκB-α degradation and NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation were inhibited. Colonic malondialdehyde (MDA) level was significantly reduced (P < .001 compared with DNBS group). The immunoreactivity of nitrotyrosine in colonic tissue was decreased (P < .001 compared to the DNBS group). Colonic Nrf2 and superoxide dismutase (SOD) expression were significantly increased. Colonic IL-1β levels were significantly decreased (P < .001 compared to the DNBS group). Colonic caspase-1 expression was decreased.

*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.

  • 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)
