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.

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).

| 10 mM | 0.6488 mL | 3.2442 mL | 6.4885 mL |
*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.
