In Vitro

2-Methoxyjuglone (1.6-8.0 μg/mL; 24, 48, 72 h) reduces HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with IC50 values of 3.8, 3.7, and 2.7 μg/mL after 24, 48, and 72 h of treatment, respectively[1].

2-Methoxyjuglone (1.6-8.0 μg/mL; 24, 48 h) induces S phase cell cycle arrest in HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells after 24 and 48 h of treatment at 1.6-8.0 μg/mL, and causes DNA fragmentation (sub-G1 phase accumulation) at 6.4 and 8.0 μg/mL after 48 h[1].
2-Methoxyjuglone (1.6-4.8 μg/mL; 24 h) induces HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell apoptosis via the mitochondrial cytochrome c-dependent intrinsic pathway, with dose-dependent increases in cytochrome c release, caspase-9 and caspase-3 activation, PARP cleavage, and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio after 24 h of treatment at 1.6-4.8 μg/mL[1].
2-Methoxyjuglone (10 μM; 1.25 μM, 24 h) potently inhibits DNA topoisomerase II at 10 μM and induces DNA double-strand breaks in human osteosarcoma U2OS cells at 1.25 μM, contributing to its cytotoxic activity[2].
2-Methoxyjuglone (62.5 μg/mL; 100 μM) exhibits potent in vitro antibacterial activity against multiple Gram-positive bacterial strains, with 100% growth inhibition of Bacillus subtilis at 100 μM, strong activity against Bacillus subtilis at 62.5 μg/mL[2].
2-Methoxyjuglone (0.25%-4%; 250 μg/mL; 8 μg/mL; 0.1-0.5 mg/mL) exhibits broad-spectrum in vitro antifungal activity against pathogenic and phytopathogenic fungi, with 100% inhibition of Fusarium graminearum spore germination at 0.5 mg/mL[2].
2-Methoxyjuglone potently inhibits the viability of human colon carcinoma HT-29 cells (IC50 = 2.6 μg/mL) and human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells (IC50 = 1.2 μg/mL)[3].

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.
