Product Description
3-O-Methylquercetin (3-MQ) is a major component from the plant Rhamnus nakaharai and inhibits total cAMP and cGMP-phosphodiesterase (PDE). The IC50s of 3-O-Methylquercetin (3-MQ) against PDE1-PDE5 are in the range of 1.6-86.9 μM.
3-O-Methylquercetin is a flavonoid isolated from Rhamnus nakaharai Hayata (Rhamnaceae). It is a selective and competitive inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) and phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4). The compound inhibits cAMP-PDE and cGMP-PDE with IC50 values of 13.8 μM and 14.3 μM, respectively. 3-O-Methylquercetin has both anti-inflammatory and bronchodilating effects and has been studied for potential use in the treatment of asthma at doses that do not affect blood pressure. It also modulates signaling pathways such as NF-κB and PI3K/Akt, regulates apoptosis, and protects against oxidative stress. The compound has a molecular weight of 316.26 and a molecular formula of C16H12O7.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
3-O-Methylquercetin targets phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) and phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), enzymes that hydrolyze cyclic AMP (cAMP) and cyclic GMP (cGMP). The compound is a selective and competitive inhibitor of PDE3 and PDE4. It inhibits cAMP-PDE with an IC50 of 13.8 μM and cGMP-PDE with an IC50 of 14.3 μM. By inhibiting PDE3 and PDE4, the compound increases intracellular cAMP and cGMP levels, leading to bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory effects. 3-O-Methylquercetin also modulates NF-κB and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways, contributing to its broader biological activities.
ln Vitro
3-O-Methylquercetin demonstrates in vitro inhibition of cAMP-PDE and cGMP-PDE with IC50 values of 13.8 μM and 14.3 μM, respectively. The compound is a selective and competitive PDE3/PDE4 inhibitor. It has anti-inflammatory effects and bronchodilating activity. 3-O-Methylquercetin modulates NF-κB and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways, regulates apoptosis, and protects against oxidative stress. These in vitro findings support the compound's potential for treating asthma and other inflammatory diseases.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for 3-O-Methylquercetin are not extensively documented. The compound has been studied for potential use in the treatment of asthma at doses that do not affect blood pressure, suggesting that it has been evaluated in vivo. Its bronchodilating and anti-inflammatory effects support potential efficacy in animal models of asthma or other inflammatory diseases. Further in vivo studies are needed to fully characterize the compound's efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety in animal models.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro enzyme assay for 3-O-Methylquercetin involves measuring its inhibition of PDE3 and PDE4 enzymatic activities. Recombinant human PDE3 and PDE4 are expressed and purified. Enzyme activity is assessed by measuring the hydrolysis of cAMP or cGMP to AMP or GMP using a scintillation proximity assay or fluorescence polarization. 3-O-Methylquercetin is incubated with the enzyme and substrate at various concentrations. IC50 values are determined by fitting the inhibition data to a dose-response curve. The assay buffer typically contains Tris-HCl, MgCl2, and appropriate components for enzyme activity.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for 3-O-Methylquercetin typically use cell lines to assess anti-inflammatory and bronchodilating effects. Cells are treated with 3-O-Methylquercetin at various concentrations and stimulated with pro-inflammatory stimuli. Intracellular cAMP and cGMP levels are measured using ELISA. Pro-inflammatory cytokine production is measured by ELISA. The compound's ability to modulate signaling pathways such as NF-κB and PI3K/Akt can be assessed by Western blot. These assays confirm the compound's cellular activity.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for 3-O-Methylquercetin would typically use animal models of asthma or other inflammatory diseases. The compound would be administered via oral or parenteral routes. Airway function, inflammatory markers in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and lung histology would be assessed. The compound's effects on blood pressure would be monitored. Further studies are needed to fully characterize the compound's in vivo efficacy and safety.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 3-O-Methylquercetin are not extensively documented. As a flavonoid with a molecular weight of 316.26, the compound is expected to have moderate bioavailability. Its solubility and metabolic stability may be influenced by its flavonoid structure. Further pharmacokinetic studies, including assessments of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME), are necessary to fully characterize its PK profile.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 3-O-Methylquercetin are not extensively available. As a natural flavonoid isolated from plants, the compound is generally considered to have a favorable safety profile. It has been studied for potential use in asthma treatment at doses that do not affect blood pressure, suggesting acceptable tolerability. Standard cytotoxicity assays may have been performed to assess safety. Further toxicological studies would be required for clinical development.
