| Targets |
There is no specific biological target. Massoia lactone has been reported to have antifungal activity, likely by disrupting fungal cell membranes. It may also activate TRPV1 (capsaicin receptor) channels, contributing to a warming sensation.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, massoia lactone exhibits antifungal activity against Candida albicans and dermatophytes with MIC values of 16-64 ug/mL. It also shows antibacterial activity against some Gram-positive bacteria (MIC 32-128 ug/mL). It is a weak TRPV1 agonist (EC50 ~50 uM).
|
| ln Vivo |
In animal models, massoia lactone (10-100 mg/kg, oral) has been shown to reduce carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats, indicating anti-inflammatory activity. It also exhibits analgesic effects in the hot plate test. However, it is not developed as a drug.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For antifungal testing: Massoia lactone is serially diluted in RPMI-1640 medium (0.5-256 ug/mL) and incubated with Candida albicans (1-5×103 CFU/mL) in 96-well plates at 35degC for 24-48 hours. MIC is determined as the lowest concentration with no visible growth. Positive control: fluconazole.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cytotoxicity, mammalian cells (e.g., HaCaT keratinocytes) are treated with massoia lactone (10-200 uM) for 24 hours. MTT assay shows IC50 > 100 uM, indicating low cytotoxicity. For TRPV1 activation, HEK293 cells expressing TRPV1 are loaded with calcium dye and treated with massoia lactone (1-100 uM); fluorescence increases dose-dependently.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For anti-inflammatory activity, male Wistar rats are given oral massoia lactone (10, 30, 100 mg/kg) or vehicle. One hour later, carrageenan (1% in saline) is injected into the hind paw. Paw volume is measured by plethysmometry over 4 hours. Reduction in edema (up to 40% at 100 mg/kg) is observed.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
PK: Massoia lactone is lipophilic (logP ~2.5). After oral administration in rats, it is rapidly absorbed (Tmax ~1 hour) and has a half-life of 2-3 hours. It is metabolized by lactone hydrolysis to the corresponding hydroxy acid, which is excreted in urine. Formulation in corn oil or 0.5% methylcellulose.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity: Massoia lactone is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use as a flavoring agent at low concentrations (ppm level). At high doses (>500 mg/kg oral in rats), it may cause mild gastrointestinal irritation. Skin and eye irritant in concentrated form. Not for human consumption as a drug.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
