Handling Instructions Technical Support

Hexamethylquercetagetin (Hexa-O-methylquercetagetin; Quercetagetin hexamethyl ether; 3,5,6,7,3',4'-Hexamethoxyflavone) is an orally active NF-κB inhibitor. Hexamethylquercetagetin inhibits NF-κB-derived luciferase activity, reduces phosphorylated p65 and IκBα, Cyclin D1, Bcl-2 and blocks TNFα-induced NF-κB activation. Hexamethylquercetagetin inhibits survival and proliferation of cervical carcinoma cells. Hexamethylquercetagetin suppresses tumor volume and weight in BALB/c nude mouse xenograft models of cervical carcinoma. Hexamethylquercetagetin can be used for the research of cancer, such as cervical carcinoma.

In Vitro

Hexamethylquercetagetin (25-100 μM; 24 h) potently suppresses NF-κB-driven luciferase activity in Ca Ski and C-33 A cervical carcinoma cells[2].
Hexamethylquercetagetin (25-100 μM; 24 h) inhibits viability of Ca Ski, C-33 A, HeLa, and SiHa cervical carcinoma cells in a concentration-dependent manner, but does not affect viability of NIH3T3 normal fibroblast cells[2].
Hexamethylquercetagetin (25-100 μM; 24 h) inhibits NF-κB signaling in Ca Ski and C-33 A cervical carcinoma cells by reducing concentration-dependent expression of p-p65, p-IκBα, Cyclin D1, and Bcl-2[2].
Hexamethylquercetagetin (25-100 μM; 4 h pre-incubation) suppresses TNFα-induced NF-κB activation in Ca Ski and C-33 A cervical carcinoma cells, as measured by reduced p-p65 expression[2].

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

Cell Viability Assay[2]

Cell Line: human cervical carcinoma Ca Ski, C-33 A, HeLa, SiHa cells, normal mouse fibroblast NIH3T3 cells
Concentration: 25, 50, 100 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Significantly inhibited cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner in Ca Ski, C-33 A, HeLa, and SiHa cervical carcinoma cells.
No significant toxicity was observed in NIH3T3 normal fibroblast cells at any tested concentration.

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: human cervical carcinoma Ca Ski, C-33 A cells
Concentration: 25, 50, 100 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Downregulated the relative expression of phosphorylated p65 (p-p65) and phosphorylated IκBα (p-IκBα) in both Ca Ski and C-33 A cells in a concentration-dependent manner, with significant reductions at all tested concentrations relative to untreated cells.
Markedly downregulated the NF-κB downstream proteins Cyclin D1 and Bcl-2 in a concentration-dependent manner in both cell lines.
In Vivo

Hexamethylquercetagetin (50-100 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 15 days) acts as an NF-κB inhibitor to dose-dependently suppress cervical carcinoma tumor growth in BALB/c nude mice[2].

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

Animal Model: BALB/c nude mice with Ca Ski cells xenograft[2]
Dosage: 50 mg/kg; 100 mg/kg
Administration: p.o.; daily; 15 days
Result: Significantly reduced tumor volume and tumor weight in a concentration-dependent manner compared to vehicle controls.
Significantly downregulated the relative protein expression of phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (p-p65) in tumor tissue compared to vehicle controls, with the 100 mg/kg dose showing greater inhibition than the 50 mg/kg dose.

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.
