Description

Aucubin, an iridoid glucoside, is isolated from Plantago asiatica, Eucommia ulmoides, the leaves of Aucuba japonica and more recently from butterfly larva. Aucubin has many biological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-fibrotic, anti-cancer, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective and osteoprotective effects[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Aucubin (0.001-1 μg/mL; pretreated for 30 min) dose-dependently inhibits IgE-induced TNF-α and IL-6 production and expression in RBL-2H3 cells, with IC50s of 0.101 and 0.19 μg/mL, respectively[2].
? Aucubin (0.01 μg/mL; pretreated for 30 min) inhibits IgE-induced nuclear translocation of p65 subunit of NF-κB and degradation of IκBα in RBL-2H3 cells[2].
? Aucubin (0.001-1 mM; 12 h) increases PC12 cellular viability and markedly inhbits H2O2-induced apoptotic cell death[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Aucubin (5 mg/kg; i.p. for 15 d) has antioxidant and pancreas-protective effects on rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes[1].
? Aucubin (40-200 mg/kg; a single i.p.) exhibits significant protective activity against α-amanitin intoxication in mice[5].
? Aucubin (5 mg/kg/day; i.p. for 21 d) decreases the breathing frequency, increases the lung dynamic compliance, alleviates lung parenchymal fibrotic changes, and reduces the intrapulmonary collagen disposition and inflammatory injury of BLM-stimulated mice[6].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Male Wistar rats (200-230 g) induced diabetes by a injection of streptozotocin[1]
Dosage: 5 mg/kg
Administration: I.p. twice daily for the first 5 days, followed by single injections daily for the last 10 days
Result: Increased the body weight of streptozotocin-diabetic rats.
Lowered the blood glucose level.
Decreased the level of lipid peroxidation and increased the activities of antioxidant enzymes.
Increased in insulin immunoreactivity and the number of immunoreactive β cells compared with untreated diabetic rats.

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 (7.22 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 (7.22 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.

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.
