Description

Macelignan ((+)-Anwulignan; Anwuligan) is an orally active lignan isolated from Myristica fragrans. Macelignan possesses many pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-diabetes, and neuroprotective activities[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target[1]

COX-2

 

In Vitro

Macelignan (1-50 μM; 72 hours) does not reduce cell viability alone, however, UVB treatment, even at the lowest dose of 30 mJ/cm2, reduces HaCaT cell viability in a dose-dependent mannner,it reduces approximately 80% of control values at 100 μM in hacat cells[1].
Macelignan (0.1-1 μM; 24 hours) decreases COX-2 expression in a concentration-dependent manner,and at the highest concentration of macelignan (1 μM) , COX-2 expression is inhibited by almost 50% in hacat cells[1].

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: Hacat cells
Concentration: 1 μM; 2.5 μM; 5 μM; 10 μM; 15 μM; 50 μM
Incubation Time: 72 hours
Result: Induced cell death by UVB irradiation at 30 mJ/cm2 from 10 μM.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: Hacat cells
Concentration: 0.1 μM; 0.5 μM;1 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Reduced UVB-induced COX-2 expression in cells.
In Vivo

Macelignan (oral administration; 15 mg/kg; every day for three weeks) exhibits in vivo anti-diabetic effects. The baseline (day 0) fasting blood glucose levels does not differ between groups; at the end of the experiment, the values of the Macelignan-treated group are significantly lower compared to the diabetic control group in C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice[2].

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.61 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.61 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.

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.
