Product Description

Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC; HZIV-812; HZIV81-2), a major curcumin metabolite, is a partially reduced derivative of curcumin, which is a naturally occurring compound found in turmeric (Curcuma longa). It exhibited anticancer activities against human breast cancer MCF-7 cells by the induction of mitochondrial apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase through the activation of p38 MAPK. Tetrahydrocurcumin is superior to curcumin in terms of water solubility, chemical stability, bioavailability, and anti-oxidative activity.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) may be better than curcumin because it contains a lot of desirable qualities that curcumin does not. At as low as 1 μM, tetrahydrocurcumin inhibits lipoxygenase. The inhibitory properties of tetrahydrocurcumin against CYP2C9, CYP3A4, CYP1A2, and CYP2D6 was evaluated. Tetrahydrocurcumin inhibits CYP2C9 and, to a lesser extent, CYP3A4 in a dose-dependent manner. The greatest inhibitory effects of tetrahydrocurcumin on CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 occur at 50 to 100 μM. Throughout the concentration range examined, tetrahydrocurcumin did not consistently inhibit CYP1A2 or CYP2D6 in response to dosage. In certain instances, the proportion of inhibition surpasses 100%. assessing how tetrahydrocurcumin affects the viability of cancer cells. Tetrahydrocurcumin was used to treat Sup-T1 cells (T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma cells), and the MTS test was used to measure the drug's ability to induce growth suppression. The IC50 values for the drug were found to be in the mid-to-high micromolar range [1].
ln Vivo
More than one absorption and distribution phase can be seen in serum tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) concentration versus time plots. First, a quick elimination phase was noticed, which was followed by a fast absorption phase with a mean Tmax of 6.8 μg/mL at one hour. Two redistributions with two smaller tetrahydrocurcumin maxima at six and twenty-four hours later, this was followed. The maximum values of both redistribution stages are comparable, at about 1 μg/mL. Urine can discharge up to 8 μg of unaltered tetrahydrocurcumin in a 24-hour period [1].

Additional Infomation
Tetrahydrocurcumin is a beta-diketone that is curcumin in which both of the double bonds have been reduced to single bonds. It has a role as a metabolite. It is a beta-diketone, a polyphenol and a diarylheptanoid. It is functionally related to a curcumin.
Tetrahydrocurcumin is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli (strain K12, MG1655).
Tetrahydrocurcumin has been reported in Curcuma longa with data available.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~268.52 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.71 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.71 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
