2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde is an orally active NF-kappaB inhibitor. It shows anti-tumor activity, anti-cancer cell proliferative activity, and anti-obesity activity.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In 3T3-L1 cells, 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzaldehyde prevents adipocyte development and lipid accumulation[1]. Down-regulating the expression levels of PPARγ, C/EBPα, SREBP-1c, and FAS protein is caused by 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzaldehyde[1].
In vitro, 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde exhibits anti-cancer cell proliferative activity and can inhibit NF-kappaB activation. It is used as a starting material for synthesizing potential protein glycation inhibitors and xanthine oxidase inhibitors. |
| ln Vivo |
2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde (oral dosage; 5 and 25 mg/kg for 13 weeks) lowers serum levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose and decreases the rise in weight gain caused by the HFD[1].
In vivo, 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde is an orally active NF-kappaB inhibitor with demonstrated anti-tumor activity in animal models. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cell assays for NF-kappaB inhibition using this compound involve incubating it with purified NF-kappaB protein or using a cell-free transcription factor binding assay. Activity is measured by EMSA or by detecting the displacement of a labeled DNA probe from the NF-kappaB complex.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cell studies, 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde is dissolved in DMSO and diluted in culture medium (final DMSO <0.1%). Cells (e.g., cancer cell lines) are treated for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is measured by MTT assay. NF-kappaB activation can be assessed by luciferase reporter assay.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In animal studies, 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde is administered orally to rodents in models of cancer or obesity. Tumor growth and body weight are monitored, and tissue samples are collected for histology and analysis of NF-kappaB target gene expression.

| Solubility (In Vitro) |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (16.22 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), Clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL of PEG300 and mix well; then add 50 μL of Tween-80 and mix well; finally add 450 μL of physiological saline and adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (16.22 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), Clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD saline and mix well. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*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.
