Product Description
Capillarisin, a component of the Artemisia genus, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Capillarisin has been investigated for asthma-mediated complications and as a potential neuro-protection agent against bupivacaine-induced neurotoxicity.
Capillarisin is a natural flavonoid compound isolated from Artemisia capillaris (yin chen hao), a plant widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for treating liver diseases and inflammatory conditions. Capillarisin is best known for its hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. It functions as a novel blocker of STAT3 activation, inhibiting constitutive and inducible STAT3 activation through induction of SHP-1 and SHP-2 tyrosine phosphatases. It also suppresses PMA-induced MMP-9 expression through inhibition of the NF-kappaB-dependent transcriptional activity of the MMP-9 gene via p38 MAPK and JNK signaling pathways.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
STAT3 (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3); NF-kappaB (Nuclear Factor-kappa B); MMP-9 (Matrix Metalloproteinase-9); p38 MAPK and JNK signaling pathways; iNOS; COX-2. Capillarisin blocks STAT3 activation via induction of SHP-1 and SHP-2 phosphatases and suppresses NF-kappaB-dependent transcriptional activity through p38 MAPK and JNK pathways. It also inhibits pro-inflammatory mediators including iNOS and COX-2 by suppressing LPS-induced ERK, JNK, and NF-kappaB activation.
ln Vitro
There are no notable effects of capillarisin (0~40 μM; 24 hours; SH-SY5Y cells) on the viability of these cells [3]. ..Incubating PI3K/PKB pathway inactivation, capillarisin (40 μM; 24 hours; SH-SY5Y cells) inhibits apoptosis in bupivacaine-challenged SH-SY5Y cells. However, this effect is reversed by LY294002 treatment, which counteracts bupivacaine-induced injury by stimulating the PI3K/PKB pathway[3]. ..In SH-SY5Y cells, capillarisin inhibits oxidative stress caused by bupivacaine by triggering the PI3K/PKB pathway. By triggering the PI3K/PKB pathway, capillarisin prevents endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial damage brought on by bupivacaine[3].
Capillarisin inhibits the constitutive and inducible STAT3 activation through induction of SHP-1 and SHP-2 tyrosine phosphatases, negatively regulating growth, metastasis, and chemoresistance of tumor cells. It suppresses PMA-induced MMP-9 expression via inhibition of NF-kappaB-dependent transcriptional activity through p38 MAPK and JNK pathways, without affecting MMP-9 enzymatic activity or TIMP-1/-2 expression. Capillarisin also inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines, iNOS, and COX-2 through suppression of LPS-induced ERK, JNK, and NF-kappaB activation. It has inhibition of in vitro growth of hepatoma cells and protects against t-BHP-induced cytotoxicity in rat primary hepatocytes.
ln Vivo
Strong inhibition of NF-κB mediated genes (iNOS, COX-2) is observed upon pretreatment with capillarisin (20 and 80 mg/kg; ip; 1 hour)[4]. Capillarisin dramatically lowers the plasma resulting to the generation of nitrite. Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) in plasma and substance P in paw tissue generated by CFA are significantly suppressed by capillarisin[4].
Capillarisin exhibits protective effects on tert-butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced oxidative damage in rat primary hepatocytes, reducing hepatocyte injury caused by hydrophobic bile acids. It prevents generation of ROS and release of cytochrome c, minimizing hepatocyte apoptosis. Capillarisin has anti-hyperalgesic and anti-allodynic activities via suppression of inflammatory signaling in animal models. It has been shown to exert antiasthmatic activity in neonatal rats via modulating matrix remodeling. In spontaneously hypertensive rats, it may have potential cardiovascular benefits. It also protects SH-SY5Y cells against bupivacaine-induced apoptosis via ROS-mediated PI3K/PKB pathway.
Enzyme Assay
Immunoblotting and reporter assays: Cells are seeded and treated with Capillarisin (concentrations and durations vary). For STAT3 activation studies, cells are stimulated with IL-6 or use constitutive STAT3-active cancer cell lines. Cell lysates are subjected to SDS-PAGE and Western blotting with antibodies against STAT3, p-STAT3 (Tyr705), SHP-1, SHP-2, and downstream targets (survivin, MMP-2, MMP-9). Reporter assays using STAT3-luciferase constructs are used to quantify transcriptional activity. For NF-kappaB studies, p65 nuclear translocation is assessed by immunofluorescence or Western blotting of nuclear fractions. MMP-9 activity can be measured by gelatin zymography. All assays include appropriate positive/negative controls. STAT3 inhibition can be confirmed using selective STAT3 inhibitors as controls.

Apoptosis Analysis[3]
Cell Types: SH-SY5Y cells
Tested Concentrations: 40 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Induced inhibition of apoptosis in bupivacaine-challenged SH-SY5Y cells was overturned by LY294002 treatment.
For hepatocyte protection studies: Rat primary hepatocytes are isolated and cultured. Cells are pre-incubated with Capillarisin (0.01-1.00 mg/mL) for 2-4 hours, then exposed to t-BHP (0.1-0.5 mM) for 2-4 hours. Cytotoxicity is assessed by LDH release, MTT assay, or trypan blue exclusion. ROS levels are measured using DCFH-DA probe. GSH levels are measured using a commercial assay kit. Cytochrome c release is detected by Western blotting of cytosolic and mitochondrial fractions. Apoptosis is evaluated by caspase-3/7 activity, Annexin V/PI staining, or TUNEL assay. Gene expression of antioxidant enzymes and inflammatory markers can be assessed by qPCR. Each experiment should be performed in triplicate with appropriate controls.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: ICR mice[4]
Doses: 20 and 80 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Ip; 1 hour
Experimental Results: Pretreatment strongly inhibited NF-κB mediated genes (iNOS, COX-2).
Animal models: For hepatoprotective studies, rats are treated with Capillarisin (e.g., 10-50 mg/kg, oral or intraperitoneal) for 5-14 days prior to or concurrently with hepatotoxic agent (e.g., CCl4, t-BHP, or bile duct ligation). Blood samples are collected for liver enzyme analysis (ALT, AST, ALP, GGT). Liver tissue is collected for histopathology (H&E staining), oxidative stress biomarkers (MDA, SOD, GSH, catalase), and inflammatory markers (TNF-alpha, IL-6, NF-kappaB). For anti-inflammatory studies, LPS-induced inflammation models are used. Inflammatory markers are measured in serum and tissues. Doses and treatment durations vary depending on the specific model and endpoints.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Capillarisin (MW 316.26, formula C1₆H12O₇). Solubility: soluble in DMSO and other organic solvents. For in vivo studies, formulations may include DMSO:PEG300:Tween 80:Saline (10:40:5:45). Storage: Powder at -20degC (stable for 3 years). In solution at -80degC (stable for 1 year). Pharmacokinetic parameters: The compound is likely metabolized by phase I and phase II enzymes. Bioavailability and half-life have not been extensively reported in publicly available literature. LC-MS/MS methods can be used for quantification in biological samples.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Based on its traditional use in herbal medicine, Capillarisin has an acceptable safety profile for research applications at typical doses (10-100 mg/kg in animals). No significant acute toxicity has been reported in available literature. However, comprehensive toxicological studies (including genotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, chronic toxicity) have not been conducted for pure Capillarisin. Standard safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound. It should not be used in humans for therapeutic purposes. Always follow institutional safety guidelines.

Additional Infomation
Capillarisin is a coumarin compound. It has been reported that capillary angiotensin exists in Artemisia annua, and relevant data are available for reference.
Capillarisin shows potential as an anti-metastatic agent by suppressing cancer cell invasion through specific inhibition of NF-kappaB-dependent MMP-9 gene expression. It also has hepatoprotective effects by preventing ROS generation and cytochrome c release, thereby minimizing hepatocyte apoptosis. Capillarisin is not a marketed drug and is currently only for research use. Studies suggest it may have therapeutic potential in treating advanced prostate cancer with constitutive STAT3 or IL-6-inducible STAT3 activation. It also shows antiasthmatic activity in neonatal rats via modulating matrix remodeling. Additional research is ongoing to explore its potential in various inflammation-related and liver diseases.
