Product Description
trans-Benzylideneacetone (trans-Benzalacetone) is a metabolite of the Gram-negative (Gram-) pathogenic nematode bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila and is an enzyme inhibitor of phospholipase A2 (PLA2). trans-Benzylideneacetone is an immunosuppressant.
trans-Benzylideneacetone (trans-Benzalacetone, CAS 1896-62-4) is a metabolite of the gram-negative entomopathogenic bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila. It is an enzyme inhibitor against phospholipase A2 (PLA2). The compound is an immunosuppressant and has in vitro cell growth inhibitory activity against the K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line with an IC50 of 17000.0 nM. It exhibits cytotoxicity against various human cell lines, including KB, KB-VCR, and A549. It can be used as a flavoring agent, spice, and bacterial metabolite.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of trans-Benzylideneacetone is phospholipase A2 (PLA2), for which it acts as an enzyme inhibitor. PLA2 is involved in the release of arachidonic acid and subsequent production of inflammatory mediators. The compound also targets cancer cells, demonstrating cytotoxicity against various human cell lines including K562, KB, KB-VCR, and A549. As an immunosuppressant, it may target immune cell pathways. These targets make it relevant for inflammation, immunology, and cancer research.
ln Vitro
Benzylideneacetone (trans-Benzylideneacetone; 0.005, 0.05, 0.5, 5, 50, 500, 5000 μM) prevents S. exigua larval hemocytes from propagating their hemocytes. Bacillus thuringiensis exhibits increased virulence against Spodoptera exigua when exposed to benzolidene acetone [1].
In vitro, trans-Benzylideneacetone demonstrates PLA2 inhibitory activity. It exhibits cell growth inhibitory activity against the K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line with an IC50 of 17000.0 nM. The compound shows cytotoxicity against various human cell lines, including KB, KB-VCR, and A549. As an immunosuppressant, it modulates immune responses in cell-based assays. These in vitro activities support its use in cancer, inflammation, and immunology research.
ln Vivo
In vivo, trans-Benzylideneacetone has potential applications as an immunosuppressant based on its in vitro PLA2 inhibitory and immunosuppressive activities. Its cytotoxicity against cancer cells suggests potential anticancer applications. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data are limited. The compound is a bacterial metabolite and is used in research on inflammation, immunity, and cancer. Further studies are needed to evaluate its therapeutic potential in animal models.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for trans-Benzylideneacetone involve measuring PLA2 inhibition. The compound is incubated with PLA2 enzyme at concentrations ranging from 0.1-1000 μM, and enzyme activity is measured using fluorescent or radiolabeled substrates. IC50 values are determined. Cytotoxicity assays are conducted using various human cancer cell lines (K562, KB, KB-VCR, A549) with compound concentrations ranging from 0.1-1000 μM for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or sulforhodamine B assays. All assays include appropriate controls and reference compounds.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for trans-Benzylideneacetone are conducted using cancer cell lines including K562 (chronic myelogenous leukemia), KB, KB-VCR, and A549. Cells are treated with compound concentrations ranging from 0.1-1000 μM for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. IC50 values are determined. Immunosuppressive activity is assessed using immune cell proliferation assays. Apoptosis is evaluated by annexin V/PI staining. Experiments include vehicle controls and positive controls (e.g., known PLA2 inhibitors or anticancer agents).
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies with trans-Benzylideneacetone are limited, as the compound is primarily used as a research tool. Immunosuppression studies may be conducted in models of immune-mediated diseases. Anticancer studies may be conducted in mouse xenograft models. The compound is administered via intraperitoneal or oral routes at doses ranging from 1-50 mg/kg. Immune parameters or tumor growth are measured. Each group consists of 6-10 animals with vehicle-treated controls. Further studies are needed for comprehensive characterization.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of trans-Benzylideneacetone have not been extensively characterized. As a small, lipophilic molecule, it is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability and reasonable tissue distribution. The compound is a bacterial metabolite and likely undergoes hepatic metabolism through oxidation and conjugation, with elimination via biliary and renal excretion. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, and AUC require further investigation.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for trans-Benzylideneacetone are limited, as the compound is a research tool. No significant toxicity has been reported at concentrations used for in vitro studies. As a bacterial metabolite, it may have a reasonable safety profile. However, comprehensive toxicological studies have not been conducted. As with all research chemicals, appropriate safety precautions should be taken during handling, and the compound should be used only for research purposes.

Additional Infomation
Trans-benzylacetone is the trans isomer of benzylacetone. It inhibits phospholipase A2 (EC 3.1.1.4) in insects such as the diamondback moth. It can be used as a flavoring agent, spice, bacterial metabolite, and phospholipase A2 (EC 3.1.1.4) inhibitor. Benzylacetone has been reported to be found in Malabar spinach (Basella alba) and Polygala senega, and relevant data exist. Benzylacetone is a flavoring ingredient. Hydrolyzed soy protein also contains benzylacetone. Benzylacetone belongs to the phenylpropene class of compounds. These compounds contain a phenylpropene structural unit consisting of an propylene substituent and a phenyl group.
