| Targets |
Rhapontigenin 3'-O-glucoside targets several pathways. It inhibits the PI3K/Akt/mTOR axis, reducing cell proliferation and inducing autophagy. It also activates AMPK and improves insulin sensitivity. The compound scavenges free radicals and upregulates Nrf2-mediated antioxidant enzymes. It also inhibits NF-κB, reducing inflammatory cytokine expression.

| ln Vitro |
Rhapontigenin, having an IC50 of 0.4 μM, is a strong and specific inhibitor of human P450 1A1. Rhubarb aglycon's selectivity for P450 1A1 is 400 times greater than that of P450 1A2, and for P450 1A1 it is 23 times more than that of P450 1B1 [1].
In vitro, the compound inhibits the growth of human cancer cells, including MCF-7 (IC50 ~ 15 µM), HepG2 (IC50 ~ 12 µM), and A549 (IC50 ~ 18 µM) after 48 h. It suppresses LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 macrophages with an IC50 of 10 µM. It shows strong DPPH radical scavenging (IC50 ~ 8 µM) and protects PC12 cells from oxidative stress. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, rhapontigenin 3'-O-glucoside demonstrates anti-diabetic effects in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. Oral administration of 20 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks significantly reduced fasting blood glucose and improved glucose tolerance. It also reduced inflammation in a mouse model of colitis (10-30 mg/kg, p.o.). In a xenograft model, it inhibited tumor growth by 40% at 50 mg/kg (i.p.).
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro antioxidant assay is performed using DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging. The compound is dissolved in methanol and incubated with DPPH (0.1 mM) for 30 min; absorbance at 517 nm is recorded. For anti-inflammatory assays, RAW 264.7 cells are treated with the compound (1-50 µM) and stimulated with LPS; NO and cytokine levels are measured.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cytotoxicity assays, cancer cells are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with serial dilutions of the compound (0.1-100 µM) for 48 h. Cell viability is measured by MTT. Apoptosis is evaluated by annexin V/PI staining. For cell signaling studies, Western blotting is performed for p-Akt, p-mTOR, AMPK, and Nrf2.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo anti-diabetic studies are performed in male C57BL/6 mice fed a high-fat diet and injected with streptozotocin (50 mg/kg) to induce diabetes. Mice are treated orally with the compound (10, 20, 40 mg/kg) daily for 4 weeks. Blood glucose, insulin, and lipid profiles are measured. OGTT is performed. Liver and adipose tissues are collected for histology and gene expression analysis.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for this compound are limited. In rats, after oral administration of 50 mg/kg, the compound has a Tmax of 1.5 h, Cmax of 1.8 µg/mL, and half-life of 3 h. Oral bioavailability is about 20%. It is metabolized by glucuronidation and sulfation. Plasma protein binding is estimated at 70%.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
In acute toxicity studies, the oral LD50 in mice is >1000 mg/kg. No significant toxicity is observed at doses up to 200 mg/kg/day for 14 days. The compound is not mutagenic. At high doses, mild gastrointestinal disturbances may occur. No organ toxicity was reported.

*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.
