Cat. No.: HY-N0451 Purity: 99.84%
COA Handling Instructions

Acacetin (5,7-Dihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone) is an orally active flavonoid derived from Dendranthema morifolium. Acacetin docks in the ATP binding pocket of PI3Kγ. Acacetin causes cell cycle arrest and induces apoptosis and autophagy in cancer cells. Acacetin has potent anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activity and has the potential for pain-related diseases research.

Description

Acacetin (5,7-Dihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone) is an orally active flavonoid derived from Dendranthema morifolium. Acacetin docks in the ATP binding pocket of PI3Kγ. Acacetin causes cell cycle arrest and induces apoptosis and autophagy in cancer cells. Acacetin has potent anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activity and has the potential for pain-related diseases research[1][2].

In Vitro

Acacetin (5,7-Dihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone; 10-200 μM; 24 hours) decreases cell viabilities in a dose-dependent manner. Acacetin has little effect on human normal glial cell line HEB and non-tumorigenic epithelial cell line MCF-10A[1].
Acacetin (50-150 μM; 24 hours) causes G2/M cell cycle arrest and induces apoptosis and autophagy[1].
Acacetin (50-150 μM; 24 hours) leads to decreases in levels of PI3Kγ-p110, p-AKT, p-mTOR, p-p70S6K, and p-ULK in a dose-dependent manner[1].

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: Breast cancer MCF-7 cells, hepatocellular carcinoma SMMC-7721 cells, lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells, esophageal carcinoma Eca109 cells
Concentration: 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 150, 200 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Decreased cancer cell viabilities in a dose-dependent manner.
Had IC50 values of 82.75 μM, 103.9 μM, 157.4 μM, 54.7 μM in MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, A549, Eca109 cells, respectively.

Cell Cycle Analysis[1]

Cell Line: MDA-MB-231 cells
Concentration: 50, 100, 150 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Resulted in increase in percentage of cells at G2/M phase and decrease in percentage of cells at G1 and S phase in a dose-dependent manner.

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: MDA-MB-231 cells
Concentration: 50, 100, 150 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours

Cell Autophagy Assay[1]

Cell Line: MDA-MB-231 cells
Concentration: 50, 100, 150 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Induced autophagy.
Resulted in marked increases in EGFP-LC3 puncta formation and a dose-dependent accumulation of LC3-II.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: MDA-MB-231 cells
Concentration: 50, 100, 150 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Resulted in decrease in levels of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL and increase in levels of p53.
Led to decreases in levels of PI3Kγ-p110, p-AKT, p-mTOR, p-p70S6K, and p-ULK in a dose-dependent manner.
Had little or no effect on expression of PI3Kα, PI3Kβ, PI3Kδ, p-ERK, p-p38, and p-JNK.
In Vivo

Acacetin (5,7-Dihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone; 5, 20 mg/kg/day; orally; for 3 days) significantly suppresses microglial activation in an LPS-induced neuroinflammation mouse model[2].
Acacetin (25 mg/kg/day; orally; for 3 days) reduces neuronal cell death in an animal model of ischemia[2].
Acacetin (1.8-56.2 mg/kg/day; ip; single dose) decreases visceral and inflammatory nociception and prevented the formalin-induced oedema[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.
