Product Description
Tetrahydromagnolol (Magnolignan), the major metabolite of Magnolol, is a potent and specific cannabinoid CB2 receptor agonist (activator) with EC50 of 170 nM and Ki of 416 nM. Tetrahydromagnolol is 20 times more selective for CB2 receptors than CB1 receptors. Tetrahydromagnolol is also a weak GPR55 receptor blocker (antagonist).
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2
ln Vitro
Receptor Binding Activity: Tetrahydromagnolol demonstrated agonist activity towards CB1 and CB2 receptors, but specific IC50 values were not mentioned. Radioligand binding assays and functional cAMP inhibition assays confirmed its binding and activation effects.
Anti-inflammatory Activity: In LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages, Tetrahydromagnolol significantly inhibited the release of nitric oxide (NO) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), indicating its anti-inflammatory potential.
Antioxidant Activity: Tetrahydromagnolol showed moderate antioxidant capacity with an IC50 value of 12.5 ± 0.8 μM in the DPPH radical scavenging assay.
ln Vivo
Analgesic Effect: In the mouse acetic acid-induced writhing model, Tetrahydromagnolol (10 and 20 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly reduced writhing次数, with inhibition rates of 42% and 68%, respectively.
Anti-inflammatory Effect: In the mouse ear edema model, Tetrahydromagnolol (20 mg/kg, topical application) inhibited xylene-induced ear swelling with an inhibition rate of 55%.
Anxiolytic-like Behavior: In the elevated plus maze test, Tetrahydromagnolol (5 and 10 mg/kg, p.o.) increased the time spent and entries into the open arms, indicating anxiolytic-like effects.
Enzyme Assay
Radioligand Binding Assay: Membrane proteins were incubated with [3H]CP55,940 (CB1 agonist) or [3H]SR144528 (CB2 antagonist) in the presence of varying concentrations of Tetrahydromagnolol. Binding affinity was evaluated by liquid scintillation counting.
cAMP Inhibition Assay: In CHO cells stably expressing CB1 or CB2 receptors, Tetrahydromagnolol inhibited adenylate cyclase activity, leading to decreased intracellular cAMP levels, which were measured by ELISA.
Cell Assay
Cell Viability Assay: MTT assay showed no significant cytotoxicity of Tetrahydromagnolol in RAW 264.7 macrophages and CHO cells at concentrations ≤50 μM.
Inflammatory Cytokine Detection: Tetrahydromagnolol (1-10 μM) significantly reduced NO and TNF-α levels in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cell supernatants, detected by Griess reagent and ELISA, respectively.
Oxidative Stress Assay: In H2O2-treated PC12 cells, Tetrahydromagnolol (5-20 μM) increased intracellular glutathione (GSH) content and decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, indicating antioxidant effects.
Animal Protocol
Mouse Acetic Acid Writhing Test: Mice were randomized and injected i.p. with Tetrahydromagnolol (10 or 20 mg/kg) or saline. After 30 minutes, 0.6% acetic acid was injected i.p., and writhing次数 were recorded over 15 minutes.
Mouse Ear Edema Test: Xylene was applied to the right ear for inflammation. Tetrahydromagnolol (20 mg/kg) dissolved in DMSO was topically applied to the right ear. Ear thickness was measured 4 hours later to calculate swelling inhibition.
Elevated Plus Maze Test: Mice were orally administered Tetrahydromagnolol (5 or 10 mg/kg) and placed in the maze. Open and closed arm activities were recorded for 5 minutes to assess anxiety-like behavior.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Absorption: Following oral administration (20 mg/kg) to mice, the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) reached 250 ± 30 ng/mL at 1.5 hours (Tmax), indicating rapid absorption. Distribution: Radiolabeled studies showed widespread distribution of the drug, with high concentrations in the brain, suggesting that the drug can cross the blood-brain barrier. Metabolism: Liver microsomal metabolism assays showed that tetrahydromagnoliol is mainly metabolized via CYP3A4, generating hydroxylated metabolites at a rate of 0.8 ± 0.1 nmol/min/mg protein. Excretion: Approximately 60% of the dose was excreted in urine and feces within 48 hours, with 35% excreted in urine and 25% in feces.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Acute toxicity: The oral LD50 of tetrahydromagnoliol in mice is >2000 mg/kg, indicating low acute toxicity. Hepatic and renal function: In subchronic toxicity studies in rats, tetrahydromagnoliol (50 and 100 mg/kg/day for 28 days) had no significant effect on serum ALT, AST, BUN, or Cr levels, indicating no significant hepatic or renal toxicity. Drug interactions: In vitro studies showed that tetrahydromagnoliol had no significant inhibitory or inducing effect on CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 activity, suggesting a low possibility of metabolic drug interactions.
