Description

6,2'-Dihydroxyflavone is a novel antagonist of GABAA receptor.

IC50 & Target

GABAA receptor[1]

In Vitro

6,2'-Dihydroxyflavone is a novel antagonist of GABAA receptor. 6,2'-Dihydroxyflavone inhibits [3H]-flunitrazepam binding to the rat cerebral cortex membranes with a Ki of 37.2±4.5 nM. The current elicited with the EC50 concentration of GABA is decreased to 73.6±1.9% of control by co-application of 5 μM 6,2'-Dihydroxyflavone (n=5), compare to a decrease to 65.9±3.0% by 1 μM FG-7142 (n=5). The EC50 for GABA dose response increases from 47.6 to 59.7 μM upon co-application of 5 μM 6,2'-Dihydroxyflavone, and the maximal GABA-current is decreased[1].

In Vivo

6,2'-Dihydroxyflavone-treated mice exhibit significant differences from control mice with respect to the percentage of open arms entries [F(4,73)=8.01, P<0.0001] and the percentage of time spent in open arms [F (4,73)=5.19, P<0.002], but not the number of entries to closed arms [F(4,73)= 0.79,P=0.54]. The post-hoc NewmaneKeuls’ tests confirm that 6,2'-Dihydroxyflavone significantly decreases the percentage of open arm entries and time spent in open arms at the doses of 8 and 16 mg/kg. 6,2'-Dihydroxyflavone treatment similarly increases step-through latency [F(4,75)=4.71, P<0.002], suggesting enhanced cognitive performance[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 (9.83 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 (9.83 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]

Membranes from HEK 293T cell are used in this study. Briefly, aliquots of membranes are incubated with 1 nM [3H]-flunitrazepam or 8 nM [3H]-Ro15-4513 at 4°C for 90 min in the presence or absence of 6,2'-Dihydroxyflavone. After incubation, the mixtures are filtered onto Whatman GF/B filters with a Brandel 24-well harvester. Each filter is incubated for at least 1 h with 4 mL scintillation cocktail before measurement of radioactivity in a Beckman-Coulter LS 6500 scintillation counter. For saturation analysis, the membranes are incubated with increasing concentrations of [3H]-flunitrazepam or [3H]-Ro15-4513. Binding affinity is determined by nonlinear regression analysis[1].

Animal Administration
[1]

Male ICR mice are randomized into six groups (n=12 to 16/group), and receive 0.4 mg/kg scopolamine (i.p.) 45 min prior to training, followed with vehicle (dd water, pH 9.0, p.o.), 2, 4, 8 or 16 mg/kg 6,2'-Dihydroxyflavone (p.o.), or 30 mg/kg FG-7142 (i.p.) 30 min prior to training. On the training trials, each mouse is placed into the lighted chamber of a two-compartment box, and the door leading to the dark chamber is opened 10 s later. Once the mouse enters the dark compartment, the door is closed and an inescapable electric foot-shock (0.4 mA, 1 s) is delivered from the grid floor. The mouse is removed from the apparatus 10 s later. The step-through latency is recorded, with the cut-off step-through latency set at 300 s[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.
