Product Description
γ-Oryzanol potently inhibits DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) in the mouse striatum. Inhibits DNMT1 and DNMT3a with IC50 of 3.2 μM and 22.3 μM respectively.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
γ-Oryzanol suppresses DNMT1 (IC50=3.2 μM), DNMT 3a (IC50=22.3 μM), and DNMT 3b (highest inhibition rate: 57%). Conversely, ferulic acid, γ-oryzanol's metabolite, has substantially less inhibitory activity than γ-oryzanol. Moreover, ERRγ primarily functions as a positive regulator of DNMT1 synthesis, which lowers the activity of DNMT1, and γ-Oryzanol can function as a partial antagonist of ERRγ [1].
ln Vivo
By lowering hypothalamic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, brown rice's special bioactive ingredient, γ-oryzanol—a blend of ferulate and several phytosterols—attenuates demand for dietary fat. γ-oryzanol has the ability to ameliorate HFD-induced DNA hypermethylation in the mouse striatum's D2R promoter region. A striatal-specific regulation of DNMT levels may be attributed to γ-oryzanol. ERRγ activity is partially reduced by γ-oryzanol (around 40% reduction in inherent value). Gamma-oryzanol given orally by gavage to male mice considerably reduced their liking for HFD (93% of the value in mice treated with a vehicle), which in turn led to a significantly reduced rate of weight gain [1].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~62.5 mg/mL (~103.67 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.45 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 20.8 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: 2.08 mg/mL (3.45 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with heating and sonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*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.

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)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
