Description

Bavachin, a flavonoid first isolated from seeds of P. corylifolia, acts as a phytoestrogen that activates the estrogen receptors ERα and ERβ with EC50s of 320 and 680 nM, respectively.

IC50 & Target

IC50: 320 nM (ERα), 680 nM (ERβ)

In Vitro

Bavachin significantly inhibits melanin synthesis and TYR activity. Bavachin (10 µM) inhibits the expression of TYR and JNK proteins, and the expression of TYR, TRP-1, TRP-2, ERK1, ERK2 and JNK2 mRNA in A375 cells. ICI182780 and U0126 cAN significantly reverse the bavachin treatment on the protein expression levels and the mRNA expression of TYR, TRP-1, TRP-2, ERK1, ERK2 and JNK2[1]. Bavachin accumulates lipid in a dose dependent manner in ORO staining experiments. Bavachin significantly increases the growth of preadipoctye at 10 µM compared with the control cells in MTT assay. Bavachin also increases BrdU incorporation into newly synthesized DNA during pre-adipocyte proliferation. BrdU incorporation is enhanced by insulin and further enhanced by co-treatment with insulin and bavachin at 2 and 10 µM. Bavachin activates adipogenic factors and increases PPARγ transcriptional activity in differentiated adipocytes. Bavachin enhances insulin-stimulated glucose uptake through GLUT4 translocation via Akt and AMPK pathway[2]. BVN significantly increases both hMAO-A and hMAO-B activities[3]. Bavachin shows ER ligand binding activity in competitive displacement of [3H] E2 from recombinant ER. The estrogenic activity of bavachin is characterized in a transient transfection system using ERα or ERβ and estrogen-responsive luciferase plasmids in CV-1 cells with an EC50 of 320 nM and 680 nM, respectively. Bavachin increases the mRNA levels of estrogen-responsive genes such as pS2 and PR, and decreases the protein level of ERα by proteasomal pathway[4].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.41 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.41 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Kinase Assay
[3]

The chemiluminescent assay is used to confirm PCSEE MAO-A and MAO-B inhibitory effects and to test BNN and BVN hMAO-A and hMAO-B inhibition using MAO-Glo kit. Each enzyme's Arbitrary Light Unit (ALU) is measured in the presence of PCSEE, BNN, BVN, and standard DEP as an MAO-BI positive control. Briefly, hMAO-A and hMAO-B isozymes are diluted to 2× with reaction buffer (pH 7.4) and preincubated with 4× PCSEE, BNN, BVN, or DEP working solutions at RT for 30 min in white opaque 96-well plates. For determining activity inhibition, final 8.5 μg/mL concentrations of PCSEE, BNN, BVN, and DEP are used. For IC50 determination, 8× PCSEE and BNN working solutions are serially diluted using reaction buffers (pH 7.4) to make a 4× concentration. Ten points' range of PCSEE (1.0 to 250.0 μg/mL) and BNN (up to 400 μM (135.4 μg/mL)) final concentrations is used. Controls used are with and without ethanol. Ethanol solvent in controls is kept to a maximum final (volume) of ≤2%. Each isozyme is substituted with the reaction buffer for the blank. Based on our preliminary optimizations and Valley's method, the reaction is initiated by adding 4× luciferin derivative substrate (LDS) for a final (concentration) of 40 and 4 μM for hMAO-A and hMAO-B reactions, respectively. The final volume per well of each reaction is 50 μL. The reaction is optimized for the amount of A and B enzyme used to be incubated for less than 3.5 h at RT. To stop the reaction and produce the luminescence signal RLDR is added to all wells, 50 μL to each well, and incubated for a further 30 min.

Cell Assay
[1]

MTT solution (20 µL) is added to each well of the 96-well plates, the cells are cultured for 4 h, the solution is discarded, and the purple crystal is dissolved in the wells with 150 µL DMSO solution, agitated in a 37°C incubator shaker for 10 min, and the optical density (OD) is measured at 490 nm by the microplate reader.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
