Product Description
Sappanchalcone is a flavonoid compound found in Caesalpinia sappan L. that causes apoptosis in human colon cancer/tumor cells.
Sappanchalcone (CAS#: 94344-54-4) is a natural flavonoid isolated from Caesalpinia sappan L. that exhibits neuroprotective, cytoprotective, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-allergic activities. It functions as a xanthine oxidase inhibitor and shows potent anti-tumor activity against various cancer cell lines. Sappanchalcone blocks cell cycle progression at the G2/M phase and induces apoptosis through the activation of p53-dependent mitochondrial pathways. The compound has been studied for its potential in treating periodontal, pulpal, and periapical inflammatory lesions as well as oral cancer.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Sappanchalcone targets multiple cellular pathways involved in inflammation, apoptosis, and cell cycle regulation. It inhibits xanthine oxidase activity, thereby reducing oxidative stress. The compound blocks cell cycle progression at the G2/M phase and activates p53-dependent mitochondrial apoptotic pathways, including the phosphorylation of p53, activation of caspases, and increased expression of Bax. Sappanchalcone also modulates TNFα/NF-κB signaling and IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathways. Its anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine production and the suppression of NF-κB activation.
ln Vitro
Statistically significant differences were seen between the effects of sapanchalcone on HCT116 cells and SW480 cells (IC50: 37.33 μM and 54.23 μM, respectively). In human colon cancer cells, sapanchalone dramatically raises ROS levels while reducing MMP. In HCT116 cells, sapanchalcone increases the expression of Bax, activates caspase, and causes p53 to become phosphorylated [1].
In vitro, sappanchalcone exhibits potent cytotoxic activities against human tumor cells. It suppresses oral cancer cell growth and induces apoptosis through the activation of p53-dependent mitochondrial pathways as well as p38, ERK, JNK, and NF-κB signaling. Sappanchalcone reduces MMP expression with a significant increase in ROS levels in human colon cancer cells. The compound triggers phosphorylation of p53, which is involved in the activation of caspases and increased expression of Bax in HCT116 cells. Sappanchalcone also shows xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity.
ln Vivo
Sappanchalcone has demonstrated anti-tumor efficacy in vivo in animal models. In a S180 tumor cell-bearing mice model, the anti-tumor efficacy of the ethyl acetate extract of Lignum Sappan, which contains sappanchalcone as a major active compound, was better than the individual compounds acting alone. The compound's anti-inflammatory effects have been observed in vivo, where it can reduce clinical arthritis. Sappanchalcone's neuroprotective and cytoprotective activities have also been reported in vivo, although specific experimental details are limited.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for sappanchalcone include xanthine oxidase inhibition assays. The enzyme is incubated with xanthine substrate and varying concentrations of sappanchalcone, and the rate of uric acid production is measured spectrophotometrically. The IC50 for inhibition of xanthine oxidase activity is determined from dose-response curves. Additionally, the compound's ability to modulate NF-κB, STAT1, or STAT3 signaling can be assessed using luciferase reporter assays in cells stably transfected with responsive luciferase reporter plasmids.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for sappanchalcone are performed using various cancer cell lines, including human colon cancer HCT116 cells and oral cancer cells. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of sappanchalcone, and cell viability is measured using MTT assays. Cell cycle distribution is analyzed by flow cytometry to assess G2/M phase arrest. Apoptosis is evaluated using annexin V staining, caspase activity assays, and assessment of Bax expression. The phosphorylation of p53, p38, ERK, JNK, and NF-κB is assessed by Western blotting. MMP expression and ROS levels are also measured.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for sappanchalcone have been conducted in mouse models, including the S180 tumor cell-bearing mice model to assess anti-tumor efficacy. Mice are implanted with S180 tumor cells and treated with sappanchalcone or the ethyl acetate extract of Lignum Sappan via oral or intraperitoneal administration. Tumor growth inhibition is monitored, and endpoints include tumor volume, tumor weight, and survival. The compound's anti-inflammatory effects can be evaluated in models of arthritis, where clinical signs of inflammation are assessed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Sappanchalcone has a molecular weight of 286.28 g/mol and a molecular formula of C16H14O5. It is a yellow solid with a density of 1.369 g/cm³. The compound is stable as a powder at -20°C for up to 3 years and in solution at -80°C for up to 1 year. Detailed pharmacokinetic properties such as bioavailability, half-life, and tissue distribution have not been extensively reported in the available literature. As a natural flavonoid, sappanchalcone may have limited oral bioavailability and may require formulation optimization for systemic administration.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Sappanchalcone has been evaluated in preclinical studies and has been reported to be well-tolerated at effective doses. No significant toxicity has been reported in the available literature. As a natural product derived from Caesalpinia sappan, sappanchalcone is generally considered to have a favorable safety profile. However, comprehensive toxicology studies would be necessary to fully assess its safety for clinical development. The compound's xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity suggests potential for managing gout and related conditions.

Additional Infomation
Sappanchalcone belongs to the chalcone class of compounds. Its structure is trans-chalcone, with hydroxyl groups at the 3', 4', and 4' positions and a methoxy group at the 2' position. Isolated from Caesalpinia sappan, Sappanchalcone possesses neuroprotective and cytoprotective activities. It functions as a metabolite, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory agent, and anti-allergic agent. Sappanchalcone belongs to the chalcone, catechol, and monomethoxybenzene classes, and its function is related to that of trans-chalcone. Sappanchalcone has been reported in Biancaea sappan and Biancaea decapetala, and relevant data are available.
