Description

Procyanidin B1 is a polyphenolic flavonoid isolated from commonly eaten fruits, binds to TLR4/MD-2 complex, and has anti-inflammatory activity.

In Vitro

Procyanidin B1 is a polyphenolic flavonoid isolated from fruits and fruit juices, binds to TLR4/MD-2 complex, and has anti-inflammatory activity. Procyanidin B1 causes cellular toxicity at concentrations >100 μg/mL. Procyanidin B1 (100 μg/mL) inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α production, and expression of MD-2, TRAF6, NF-κB mRNA, phosphorylated p38 MAPK and NF-κB protein in THP1 cells[1]. Procyanidin B1 (50-100 µM) protects against Aβ oligomer-induced neuronal death. Procyanidin B1 potently inhibits the activation of caspase-3 at 100 µM, caspase-8 at concentrations of 30, 50, and 100 µM and caspase-9 at concentrations of 10, 30, 50, and 100 µM[2]. Procyanidin B1 (10, 20, 30 μM) significantly and dose-dependently induces expression of ACO and CPT1, with no obvious effect on mRNA expression of PPARα[3].

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 (4.32 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 (4.32 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.

Cell Assay
[1]

To investigate the cytotoxic effect of Procyanidin B1, viability of THP1 cells is assessed using CCK8 assay. THP1 cells are treated with Procyanidin B1 for 18 h, and 10 μL of CCK8 solution is then added to each well and the cultures are incubated for 4 h at 37°C. The optical density (OD) at 450 nm is measured using an ELx808 Absorbance Microplate Reader. The Procyanidin B1 concentration tested ranges from 50 to 200 μg/mL. Each sample is tested in triplicate[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.
