Product Description
Salvigenin is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound with neuro-protective (neuro-protection) effects. Salvigenin has antitumor, cytotoxic, and Immune-modulatory effects. Salvigenin inhibits H2O2-induced apoptosis.
Salvigenin (CAS#: 19103-54-9) is a natural flavone found in various plants, including Salvia officinalis and other species. It exhibits a range of biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anticancer properties. Salvigenin has been studied for its potential in treating neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and inflammatory disorders. It is also known to inhibit acetylcholinesterase and to modulate lipid metabolism.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Salvigenin targets multiple pathways: it inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, which may enhance cholinergic neurotransmission. It also modulates NF-κB and MAPK signaling, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Salvigenin activates Nrf2, increasing antioxidant enzymes. In cancer, it induces apoptosis via mitochondrial pathways and inhibits cell proliferation by arresting cell cycle at G1 phase. Additionally, it inhibits α-glucosidase and pancreatic lipase, suggesting antidiabetic and anti-obesity potential.
ln Vitro
H2O2-induced cell death is prevented in SH-SY5Y cells by salvigenin (0-100 μM, 3 hours) [1]. In H2O2-exposed SH-SY5Y cells, salvigenin (0-100 μM, 2 hours) dramatically lowers ROS generation, raises glutathione levels, lowers the degree of apoptosis, and enhances autophagy [1].
In vitro, salvigenin exhibits significant antioxidant activity by scavenging DPPH and ABTS radicals with IC50 values in the micromolar range. It inhibits AChE with an IC50 of approximately 50 μM. Salvigenin reduces LPS-induced NO and PGE2 production in macrophages, and decreases TNF-α and IL-6 levels. It induces apoptosis in various cancer cell lines (e.g., breast, colon, liver) with IC50 values of 10-50 μM. It also inhibits α-glucosidase activity, reducing glucose absorption.
ln Vivo
In tumor-bearing mice, salvigenin (0-9.68 μg/mouse/day; intraperitoneal injection; 4 or 12 days) demonstrates immunomodulatory and anti-tumor properties [2].
In vivo, salvigenin has shown neuroprotective effects in scopolamine-induced memory impairment in rodents, improving cognitive performance and reducing oxidative stress in the brain. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects in carrageenan-induced paw edema models. In diabetic mice, salvigenin lowers blood glucose levels by inhibiting α-glucosidase. Anticancer efficacy has been demonstrated in xenograft models, where salvigenin reduces tumor volume.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for salvigenin include AChE inhibition assays using Ellman's method, where the enzyme reacts with acetylthiocholine and the product is measured spectrophotometrically. α-Glucosidase inhibition is assessed using p-nitrophenyl-α-D-glucopyranoside as substrate. COX-2 inhibition can be tested using a colorimetric COX assay. Antioxidant assays (DPPH, ABTS) are conducted to determine radical scavenging activity. No specific receptor binding assays are performed.

Incubation Duration: 2 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: diminished cleaved caspase-3 and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Reduces caspase-12 and calpain levels. diminished levels of Atg7, Atg12 and LC3-II/LC3-I.
In vitro cellular assays for salvigenin are performed using macrophages (RAW 264.7) for anti-inflammatory studies: cells are treated with salvigenin and stimulated with LPS, and NO, PGE2, and cytokines are measured. Neuroblastoma cells (e.g., SH-SY5Y) are used to assess neuroprotection against oxidative stress. Cancer cells are used for viability (MTT), apoptosis (annexin V), and cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry. Western blotting detects changes in signaling proteins such as NF-κB and Nrf2.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Inbred female balb/c (Bagg ALBino) mouse, 6 to 8 weeks old, containing MCF-7 cells [2]
Doses: 3.65, 5.85, and 9.68 μg/mouse/day for 4 or 12 days
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection
Experimental Results: demonstrated a significant increase in DTH response in a dose-dependent manner. Dramatically diminished tumor growth rate, increased lymphocyte proliferation index, increased IFN-γ levels and diminished IL-4 production. Spleen CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T lymphocytes were Dramatically diminished.
In vivo animal experiments for salvigenin are conducted in rodent models. For memory impairment, mice are given salvigenin orally before scopolamine, and cognitive tests (Morris water maze, Y-maze) are performed. Inflammatory models: rats are treated with salvigenin and paw edema is induced by carrageenan. For antidiabetic, mice are fed a high-sugar diet and blood glucose is measured. In xenograft models, tumor-bearing mice receive salvigenin intraperitoneally, and tumor growth is monitored.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Salvigenin has a molecular weight of 328.32 g/mol and a molecular formula of C18H16O6. It is a yellow crystalline solid, soluble in DMSO, ethanol, and methanol, but poorly soluble in water. Its logP suggests moderate lipophilicity. Pharmacokinetic studies in rats show oral bioavailability of about 20-30%, with a half-life of 3-5 hours. It is metabolized by glucuronidation and sulfation and excreted in urine and bile. The compound is stable under normal storage conditions.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Salvigenin has been evaluated for safety in preclinical studies. In acute toxicity tests in mice, oral doses up to 1000 mg/kg showed no mortality or significant adverse effects. Subacute toxicity studies are limited, but no major organ damage has been reported. The compound has low cytotoxicity in normal cell lines, indicating a good selectivity index. However, long-term safety and genotoxicity have not been fully assessed. It is considered safe for research use.

Additional Infomation
Salvigenin is a trimethoxyflavonoid, a derivative of baicalin, with its 4', 6, and 7-hydroxyl groups replaced by methoxy groups. It possesses various functions, including inducing autophagy, inhibiting apoptosis, lowering blood lipids, immunomodulation, antitumor activity, neuroprotection, hypoglycemia, and as a plant metabolite. It is a trimethoxyflavonoid and monohydroxyflavonoid, functionally related to baicalin. Salvigenin has been found in Salvigenin, nettle, and other organisms with relevant data. See also: Orange peel (partial).
Salvigenin is a natural flavonoid with promising pharmacological activities, including neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and anticancer effects. It is found in sage and other medicinal plants. Salvigenin's mechanism involves inhibition of AChE, modulation of NF-κB and Nrf2, and induction of apoptosis. It has attracted research interest for its potential in treating Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and cancer. However, it is not an approved drug and requires further development. Its natural abundance makes it a candidate for phytopharmaceutical applications.
