Product Description
Loureirin D is a dihydrochalcone compound found in the medicinal plant Dragon’s Blood.
Loureirin D (CAS#: 119425-91-1) is a dihydrochalcone natural product isolated from the red resin of Dracaena cochinchinensis, commonly known as Dragon's Blood. It has the molecular formula C16H16O5 and a molecular weight of 288.30. Loureirin D exhibits a range of pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticoagulant, anti-tumor, cardioprotective, and antiviral properties. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to treat various ailments, including inflammation, pain, and bleeding.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Loureirin D does not have a single well-defined molecular target. It exhibits multiple pharmacological activities, suggesting interactions with various targets and pathways. It has demonstrated antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori with a MIC of 111,100.0 nM. It also shows significant inhibitory effects on influenza A virus and HIV-1 virus. The compound's anti-inflammatory activity may involve suppression of proinflammatory signaling pathways, while its anticoagulant activity suggests effects on platelet aggregation and vascular relaxation.
ln Vitro
In vitro, loureirin D exhibits antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori ATCC 43504 with a MIC of 111,100.0 nM. It also shows significant inhibitory effects on influenza A virus and HIV-1 virus. The compound displays antitumor activity, cardioprotective effects, anti-inflammatory effects, and antioxidative activity in various in vitro models. These activities suggest that loureirin D is a multitargeted natural product with potential for treating multiple disease conditions.
ln Vivo
In vivo, loureirin D has demonstrated antithrombotic activity in two independent preclinical models. The compound also exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and wound healing properties in vivo. Its cardioprotective effects and ability to promote blood circulation have been noted. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data are limited in publicly available sources, and the compound is not approved for clinical use.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for loureirin D would typically involve screening against a panel of targets to identify its molecular interactions. Given its anti-inflammatory activity, assays for COX-1/COX-2 inhibition, LOX inhibition, or NF-κB activity would be relevant. For antiviral activity, assays for viral protease, polymerase, or entry inhibition could be used. Antibacterial activity could be assessed using enzyme inhibition assays targeting bacterial cell wall synthesis or other essential bacterial processes. Binding to platelet aggregation targets could also be evaluated.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for loureirin D involve culturing appropriate cell lines (e.g., cancer cells, macrophages, virus-infected cells) and treating them with the compound to assess effects on cell viability, inflammation, or infection. Cytotoxicity is evaluated using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. Anti-inflammatory activity is assessed by measuring cytokine production in LPS-stimulated macrophages. Antiviral activity is assessed by measuring viral replication in infected cells. Antibacterial activity is assessed using broth microdilution or agar dilution methods to determine MICs.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for loureirin D have been conducted in preclinical models of thrombosis, demonstrating antithrombotic activity. Studies on anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and wound healing effects have also been reported. Typical protocols would involve oral or intraperitoneal administration of loureirin D in rodents at various doses, with endpoints including thrombosis parameters, inflammation markers, pain responses, or wound healing measurements. No standardized protocol is available.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of loureirin D have not been extensively characterized. As a dihydrochalcone with a molecular weight of 288.30 and multiple hydroxyl groups, it is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability. The compound would likely undergo extensive metabolism, including glucuronidation and sulfation of phenolic hydroxyl groups. No specific PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, or bioavailability are available from publicly accessible sources.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of loureirin D has not been systematically evaluated. As a natural product used in traditional medicine, it may have a favorable safety profile, but this has not been confirmed in controlled toxicology studies. Standard toxicology assessments would include acute and sub-chronic toxicity studies in rodents, with endpoints including clinical signs, body weight, clinical pathology, and histopathology. No specific toxicity data are available.

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
