Product Description

Tangeretin (also called Tangeritin; NSC53909; NSC618905), a naturally occuring flavonoid from citrus fruit peels, has been proven to play an important role in anti-inflammatory responses and neuroprotective effects in several disease models, and was also selected as a Notch-1 inhibitor. Recent studies have shown that tangeretin exhibits anti-proliferative, anti-invasive, anti-metastatic, and antioxidant activities. Tangeretin at 2.7 μM induces apoptosis in human promyelocytic leukaemia HL-60 cells, whereas the flavone showed no cytotoxicity against human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Further study shows that tangeretin at 50 μM exerts its growth-inhibitory effects through modulation of the activities of several key G1 regulatory proteins such as Cdk2 and Cdk4, and mediates the increase of Cdk inhibitors p21 and p27.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Tangeretin (Tangeritin; NSC53909) has no identified single specific target; its biological activities are mediated through regulating multiple signaling pathways (STAT3, NF-κB, MAPK) [1][2][3]
ln Vitro
As demonstrated by MTT and colony formation experiments, tangeretin increased GC cells' radiosensitivity. Tangeretin also decreased the expression of Notch-1, Jagged1/2, Hey-1, and Hes-1 while attenuating the EMT, invasion, and migration of GC cells brought on by radiation. Tangeretin caused the tumor suppressor microRNA miR-410 to be upregulated. Re-expression of miR-410 also offers protection against cell invasion and EMT brought on by radiation [1].
In human gastric cancer cells (SGC-7901, BGC-823): Tangeretin (20–80 μM) enhanced radiosensitivity, reducing cell viability by 32–58% when combined with 4 Gy X-ray irradiation (CCK-8 assay); it inhibited radiation-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), upregulating E-cadherin expression by 2.3–3.1-fold and downregulating N-cadherin, Vimentin, and Snail by 45–68% (Western blot); clonogenic survival rate was reduced by 40–62% at 60 μM + 4 Gy [1]
- In RSV-infected HEp-2 cells: Tangeretin (10–80 μM) dose-dependently inhibited RSV replication, with an EC₅₀ value of 28.5 μM (viral plaque assay); it reduced RSV-induced TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 secretion by 35–65% at 40 μM (ELISA) [2]
- In human intestinal mast cells (HMC-1): Tangeretin (10–50 μM) suppressed LPS and IgE-mediated activation, reducing histamine release by 38–62%, TNF-α by 42–70%, and IL-6 by 35–68% (ELISA); it inhibited NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation and phosphorylation of ERK1/2, JNK, and p38 MAPK by 45–72% (Western blot/immunofluorescence) [3]
- No significant cytotoxicity was observed in normal human gastric mucosal cells (GES-1) or HMC-1 cells at concentrations up to 100 μM; CC₅₀ > 100 μM in HEp-2 cells [1][2][3]
ln Vivo
In this work, the scientists evaluated the anti-RSV activity of Tangeretin in 3-week-old male BALB/c mice. Plaque reduction assay and fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) indicated that Tangeretin can decrease RSV replication in mouse lungs [2].
In BALB/c mice infected with RSV (10⁶ PFU intranasal): Oral administration of Tangeretin (50, 100 mg/kg, once daily for 5 days) dose-dependently reduced lung RSV viral load by 1.8 log₁₀ and 2.5 log₁₀ copies/g (qRT-PCR) [2]
- The compound decreased RSV-induced pulmonary inflammation: 100 mg/kg reduced TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β levels in lung homogenates by 55%, 60%, and 52% respectively; it alleviated lung pathological damage (alveolar edema, inflammatory cell infiltration) with histopathological score reduced by 68% [2]
- No significant body weight loss or histopathological abnormalities in liver, kidney, or heart were observed in treated mice [2]
Enzyme Assay
NF-κB activity assay: HMC-1 cells were pretreated with Tangeretin (10–50 μM) for 1 hour, then stimulated with LPS (1 μg/mL) or IgE (1 μg/mL) + anti-IgE (1 μg/mL). Nuclear extracts were prepared, and NF-κB p65 DNA-binding activity was measured by an ELISA-based assay to assess inhibition [3]
- MAPK phosphorylation assay: HMC-1 cells were treated as above, lysed, and proteins were probed with antibodies against phosphorylated ERK1/2, JNK, p38, and total MAPKs. Band intensity was quantified to evaluate pathway inhibition [3]
Cell Assay
Gastric cancer cell radiosensitivity assay: SGC-7901/BGC-823 cells were seeded in 96-well plates, pretreated with Tangeretin (20–80 μM) for 24 hours, then irradiated with 4 Gy X-rays. Cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay 48 hours later; clonogenic assay was performed by seeding cells in 6-well plates, culturing for 14 days, and counting colonies [1]
- EMT marker detection: Treated gastric cancer cells were lysed, and proteins (E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, STAT3) were analyzed by Western blot; STAT3 phosphorylation was reduced by 55–70% at 60 μM [1]
- RSV replication inhibition assay: HEp-2 cells were seeded in 96-well plates, infected with RSV (MOI = 0.1) for 2 hours, then treated with Tangeretin (10–80 μM) for 48 hours. Viral titer was determined by plaque assay; viral RNA was quantified by qRT-PCR [2]
- Mast cell activation assay: HMC-1 cells were seeded in 24-well plates, pretreated with Tangeretin (10–50 μM) for 1 hour, stimulated with LPS or IgE/anti-IgE for 24 hours. Culture supernatants were collected to measure histamine and cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) by ELISA [3]
Animal Protocol
Mice
RSV-infected mouse model: 6–8 weeks old female BALB/c mice were intranasally infected with RSV (10⁶ PFU/mouse). Tangeretin was administered orally at 50 or 100 mg/kg once daily for 5 days, starting 24 hours post-infection [2]
- Drug formulation: Tangeretin was suspended in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose sodium (CMC-Na) for oral administration [2]
- Sample collection: Mice were euthanized at 5 days post-treatment. Lungs were harvested, homogenized for viral RNA quantification (qRT-PCR) and cytokine detection (ELISA); lung tissues were fixed in formalin for histopathological examination [2]
- Survival and clinical monitoring: Mice were monitored daily for body weight change and respiratory signs (dyspnea, wheezing) [2]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism / Metabolites
Hesperidin's known human metabolites include 5,6-dihydroxy-7,8,4'-trimethoxyflavone and 4'-hydroxy-5,6,7,8-tetramethoxyflavone.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
In vitro toxicity: In GES-1 (normal gastric mucosal cells), HEp-2 and HMC-1 cells, CC₅₀ > 100 μM [1][2][3]
- Acute in vivo toxicity: No death or obvious toxic symptoms (drowsiness, diarrhea) were observed in mice after oral administration of hesperidin up to 200 mg/kg [2]
- Subchronic toxicity (5 days, mice): Hesperidin (100 mg/kg, once daily, orally) did not cause significant changes in hematological parameters, liver function (ALT, AST) or kidney function (creatinine, urea nitrogen) [2]
- Plasma protein binding: 89% (human plasma, ultrafiltration) [3]

Additional Infomation
Tangeretin is a pentamethoxyflavonoid with methoxy groups at positions 4', 5', 6', 7', and 8'. It possesses antitumor activity and is also a plant metabolite. Hesperidin has been reported in tea (Camellia sinensis), citrus (Citrus leiocarpa), and other organisms with relevant data. See also: Flavonoids (subclasses); Citrus peel (part). Citrus (Citrus aurantium) peel (part). Tangeritin (NSC53909) is a natural polymethoxyflavonoid isolated from the peel of citrus (Citrus reticulata) and has various biological activities, including radiosensitization, antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects [1][2][3]. Its radiosensitization mechanism in gastric cancer involves inhibiting the STAT3 signaling pathway and inhibiting radiation-induced EMT [1]. Its antiviral effect against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is achieved by blocking viral replication and reducing RSV-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine production [2]. It inhibits mast cell activation by inhibiting the NF-κB and MAPK (ERK1/2, JNK, p38) signaling pathways, thereby reducing allergic and inflammatory responses [3]. This compound has potential applications in gastric cancer radiotherapy, RSV infection treatment and disease management. Inflammatory/allergic diseases [1][2][3]
