Description

Tetrahydrocurcumin is a Curcuminoid found in turmeric (Curcuma longa) that is produced by the reduction of Curcumin. Tetrahydrocurcumin inhibit CYP2C9 and CYP3A4.

CYP3A4

In Vitro

Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) has a number of attractive properties not shared with Curcumin that may make it superior. Tetrahydrocurcumin inhibited lipoxygenase as low as 1 μM. Tetrahydrocurcumin is tested for its ability to inhibit CYP2C9, CYP3A4, CYP1A2 and CYP2D6. Tetrahydrocurcumin yields dose-dependent inhibition of CYP2C9, and to a lesser extent, CYP3A4. Tetrahydrocurcumin exhibits maximum inhibition of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 at 50 to 100 μM. Tetrahydrocurcumin does not show a consistent dose-response inhibition of CYP1A2 or CYP2D6 over the range of concentrations tested. In some cases, the percent inhibition exceeds 100%. The effect of Tetrahydrocurcumin on cancer cell viability is measured. Sup-T1 cells, T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma cells, are treated with Tetrahydrocurcumin to determine its ability to induce growth inhibition using an MTS assay, and the corresponding IC50 values are in the mid-to-high micromolar range[1].

In Vivo

The serum Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) concentration versus time curve shows that more than one absorption and distribution phase is present. Initially, a rapid absorption phase with an average Tmax of 6.8 μg/mL at 1 h is observed, followed by a short elimination phase. This is followed by two redistributions with two smaller Tetrahydrocurcumin maxima at 6 and 24 h. Both redistribution phases has similar maxima of about 1 μg/mL. The total amount of Tetrahydrocurcumin excrets unchanged in urine was up to 8 μg at 24 h[1].

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 (6.71 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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.71 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Cell Assay
[1]

Sup-T1 cells are cultured in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin at 37°C and 5% CO22. 2×105 cells/mL are seeded in each well and Tetrahydrocurcumin, Curcumin and Calebin-A, at 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 50.0 and 100.0 μM dissolved in DMSO, are added to their respective wells and incubated for 24, 48 and 72 h. The MTS reagent is added and incubated for 4 h. Absorbance is recorded at 490 nm in Synergy HT multi-well plate reader and Gen5 data analysis software[1].

Animal Administration
[1]

Rats[1]
Surgically-modified, exposed jugular vein-catheterized, adult male CD Sprague-Dawley rats (250–300 g) ared used. Each rat is placed in a separate metabolic cage and fasted for 12 h prior to dosing with free access to water. On the day of experiment, the animals (N=3) receive a single dose of Tetrahydrocurcumin by oral gavage (500 mg/kg) in a volume not exceeding 1 mL. Animals have free access to water pre- and post-dosing, and food is provided 2 hours post-dosing. A series of blood samples (0.3 mL) are collected at 0, 15 and 30 min, and 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h post-dose. At 72 h after administration, the animals are euthanized and exsanguinated. Immediately after each blood collection time point (except the terminal point), the cannula is flushed with 0.3 mL of 0.9% saline to replenish the collected blood volume. The dead volume of the cannula is replaced with sterile heparin/50% dextrose catheter lock solution to maintain the patency of the cannula as advised in the technical sheet supplied with the animals from Charles River. Following centrifugation of blood samples at 15,000 rpm for 5 min, serum is collected and placed into 2 mL tubes at -20°C until further analysis. Urine samples are collected at 0, 2, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h post-dose and placed in 15 mL tubes. The exact urine volume of each sample is recorded then stored at -20°C until further analysis[1].

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.
