Product Description
Cycloartenyl ferulate (Cycloartenol ferulate) is a typical triterpene alcohol with various biological activities such as antioxidant activity, anti-allergic activity, anti-inflammatory activity and anti-cancer activity.
Cycloartenyl ferulate (CAS# 21238-33-5) is a typical triterpene alcohol and a derivative of γ-oryzanol, a phytosterol derived from rice bran. It has the molecular formula C40H58O4 and a molecular weight of 602.89. Also known as cycloartenol ferulate, cycloartenol ferulic acid ester, this compound possesses several biological activities including anti-oxidative, antiallergic, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities. It enhances natural killer (NK) cell-mediated anticancer immunity by binding to interferon gamma receptor 1 (IFNγR1). The compound exhibits potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to its potential health benefits in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. It helps scavenge free radicals, protect against lipid peroxidation, and modulate inflammatory signaling pathways.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Cycloartenyl ferulate targets IFNγ receptor 1 (IFNγR1) with a binding affinity of Kd = 0.5 μM. By binding to IFNγR1, it activates the JAK1/2-STAT1 signaling pathway. This activation enhances natural killer (NK) cell-mediated anticancer immunity. The compound also exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, and anticancer activities through modulation of various signaling pathways. It helps scavenge free radicals, protect against lipid peroxidation, and modulate inflammatory signaling pathways. Studies suggest it may also support cholesterol regulation and immune function. Its central nervous system suppressant effects have been observed, with properties different from existing major and minor tranquilizers.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies have demonstrated that Cycloartenyl ferulate binds to IFNγR1 with a Kd of 0.5 μM. This binding activates the JAK1/2-STAT1 signaling pathway. The compound exhibits antioxidant activity by scavenging free radicals and protecting against lipid peroxidation. Its anti-inflammatory activity is mediated through modulation of inflammatory signaling pathways. The compound has demonstrated antiallergic and anticancer activities in various in vitro systems. It enhances NK cell-mediated anticancer immunity. Studies have investigated its effects on the central nervous system. These in vitro findings support its potential therapeutic applications in cancer, inflammation, allergy, and cardiovascular diseases.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies of Cycloartenyl ferulate have demonstrated its effects on the central nervous system. It has been shown to have a suppressant effect on the central nervous system, with properties different from existing major and minor tranquilizers. The compound's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties contribute to its potential health benefits in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. It may support cholesterol regulation and immune function. As a component of gamma-oryzanol derived from rice bran, it has been studied for its various biological activities. Further research is needed to fully characterize its in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties and to evaluate its therapeutic potential in various disease models.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro receptor binding assays for Cycloartenyl ferulate involve testing its binding affinity to IFNγR1. Binding affinity is measured using surface plasmon resonance, isothermal titration calorimetry, or radioligand binding assays, with a reported Kd of 0.5 μM. Receptor activation is assessed by measuring JAK1/2-STAT1 signaling pathway activation using Western blotting or ELISA. For antioxidant activity, cell-free systems such as DPPH radical scavenging assays, ABTS assays, or ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays are used. Anti-inflammatory activity is evaluated by measuring inhibition of pro-inflammatory mediator production in cell-free or cell-based systems. All assays are performed with appropriate controls and standardized protocols to ensure reproducibility of results.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Cycloartenyl ferulate involve culturing NK cells to evaluate its effects on anticancer immunity. NK cells are treated with the compound and cytotoxicity against cancer cells is measured using standard NK cell killing assays. Cytokine production (e.g., IFN-γ, perforin, granzyme B) is quantified by ELISA. For anti-inflammatory studies, immune cells are treated with the compound and stimulated with inflammatory stimuli; pro-inflammatory cytokine production (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β) is measured. For antioxidant studies, cells are treated with the compound and then exposed to oxidative stress inducers; reactive oxygen species levels are measured using fluorescent probes. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or similar assays. All experiments are performed in triplicate with appropriate controls.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for Cycloartenyl ferulate utilize rodent models to evaluate its various biological activities. For central nervous system studies, animals are administered the compound and behavioral, neurological, and physiological parameters are assessed. For anticancer studies, tumor-bearing animals are treated with the compound and tumor growth and NK cell activity are monitored. For anti-inflammatory studies, animals with induced inflammation are treated and inflammatory markers are measured. For cardiovascular and metabolic studies, animals on high-fat diets are treated and metabolic parameters are assessed. Parameters assessed include body weight, organ weights, blood biochemistry, and histopathology. Control groups receiving vehicle alone are included for comparison. All procedures must comply with institutional animal care and use committee guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of Cycloartenyl ferulate reflect its nature as a large triterpene alcohol. It has a molecular weight of 602.89 and the molecular formula C40H58O4. The compound is lipophilic in nature, which may affect its absorption, distribution, and bioavailability. As a component of gamma-oryzanol from rice bran, it is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract following dietary consumption. The compound is metabolized through standard xenobiotic pathways. Its large size and lipophilic nature suggest it may have limited water solubility but good membrane permeability. Complete pharmacokinetic profiling including half-life, clearance, volume of distribution, and bioavailability would require further systematic studies using appropriate analytical methods such as high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Cycloartenyl ferulate has been evaluated in the context of its natural occurrence in rice bran and its use as a research chemical. The compound is a natural component of gamma-oryzanol, which is consumed as part of the diet. At dietary levels, it is generally recognized as safe. The compound has demonstrated various biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities, suggesting potential therapeutic applications. Its central nervous system suppressant effects indicate potential for neurological effects that should be carefully evaluated. Proper handling procedures including use of personal protective equipment are recommended when working with pure compound. The compound is intended for research purposes only.
