    Description

    Ferulic acid is a novel fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) inhibitor with IC50s of 3.78 and 12.5 μM for FGFR1 and FGFR2, respectively.

    IC50 & Target[1]

    FGFR1

    3.78 μM (IC50)

    FGFR2

    12.5 μM (IC50)

    In Vitro

    Ferulic acid (FA) is a novel fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) inhibitor with IC50s of 3.78 and 12.5 μM for FGFR1 and FGFR2, respectively. Ferulic acid exhibits great inhibitory activity on FGFR1 with an inhibitory rate of 92% at 1 μM. The proliferation of HUVEC stimulated by FGF1 is markedly decreased after Ferulic acid treatment ranging from 5 to 40 μM for 24 h. Ferulic acid does not exert significant cell viability up to 20 μM, but over 30 μM Ferulic acid exhibits a cytotoxic effect in HUVEC compare to the control. Ferulic acid inhibits FGF1-induced HUVEC migration and invasion in a dose-dependent manner. Ferulic acid markedly suppresses the FGF1-induced phosphorylation of PI3K and Akt. Ferulic acid treatments significantly inhibit MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression stimulated by FGF1[1].

    In Vivo

    Treatment with Ferulic acid (FA) potently inhibits FGF1-induced neovascularization. It is found that intragastric administration of Ferulic acid markedly inhibits tumor volume and tumor weight, as compare to the counterparts treated with DMSO. Furthermore, Ferulic acid treatment is well tolerated, and there is no significant difference in weight between the vehicle group and the FA-treated groups[1]. Ferulic acid (0.01, 0.1, 1 or 10 mg/kg) given by oral route decreases significantly the immobility time in the forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST), whereas produces no effect in the open-field test. Results demonstrate that the administration of Ferulic acid (0.001 mg/kg, p.o.) boosts the antidepressant-like effect of Fluoxetine (HY-B0102) (5 mg/kg, p.o.) in the TST[2].

    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 (12.87 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 (12.87 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]

    HUVEC (5×104 cells/well) are plated onto a gelatinized 24-well culture plate and cultured in ECGS containing 15% FBS. HUVEC are treated with DMSO (0.1%) or different concentrations of Ferulic acid (FA) (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 μM) for 24 h. Cell viability is determined by the MTT assay. After 4 h of incubation, the absorbance is measured at 450 nm with a microplate reader. The results are calculated from six replicates of each experiment. Three independent experiments are performed[1].

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

    Animal Administration
    [2]

    Male Swiss mice (30 to 40 g) are maintained at 21 to 23°C with free access to water and food, under a 12:12 h light/dark cycle (lights on at 07:00 h). All manipulations are carried out between, 9:00 and 16:00 h, with each animal used only once. In order to investigate the antidepressant-like effect of Ferulic acid, Ferulic acid is administered at a dose range of 0.001 to 10 mg/kg, by oral route (p.o.) 60 min before the forced swimming test (FST), tail suspension test (TST) or open-field test. The control animals receive appropriate vehicle[2].

    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.
