Description

Isosilybin (Isosilybinin) is a flavonoid from Silybum marianum; inhibits CYP3A4 induction with an IC50 of 74 μM.

IC50 & Target

CYP3

 

In Vitro

The reporter gene assay shows that milk thistle’s components silybin and isosilybin are responsible for the inhibition of PXR-mediated CYP3A4 induction by milk thistle. Compared with silybin, its isomer isosilybin is a stronger inhibitor of PXR-mediated CYP3A4 induction. A solution of 89, 133, and 200 μM isosilybin significantly inhibits CYP3A4 induction by 64, 82, and 88%, respectively. Isosilybin inhibits CYP3A4 induction with an IC50 of 74 μM[1]. Isosilybin B and isosilybin A, two diastereoisomers isolated from silymarin, have anti-prostate cancer (PCA) activity that is mediated via cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induction. Isosilybin B and isosilybin A treatment results in growth inhibition and cell death together with a strong G(1) arrest and apoptosis in human prostate cancer LNCaP and 22Rv1 cells[2]. Isosilybin B causes increased phosphorylation of Akt (Ser-473 and Thr-308) and Mdm2 (Ser-166), which is linked with androgen receptor degradation as pretreatment with PI3K inhibitor (LY294002)-restored androgen receptor level. Isosilybin B treatment enhances the formation of complex between Akt, Mdm2 and AR, which promotes phosphorylation-dependent AR ubiquitination and its degradation by proteasome[3]. Isosilybin A is able to significantly activate PPARγ at a concentration of 30 μM (2.08±0.48 fold, p<0.01). Isosilybin A causes transactivation of a PPARγ-dependent luciferase reporter in a concentration-dependent manner. In silico docking studies suggests a binding mode for 3 distinct from that of the inactive silymarin constituents, with one additional hydrogen bond to Ser342 in the entrance region of the ligand-binding domain of the receptor[4].

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 (5.18 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 (5.18 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
[2]

LNCaP cells and 22Rv1 cells are plated and treated at 40–50% confluency with different doses of isosilybin B and isosilybin A (10–90 μM in medium) dissolved originally in Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for the desired time periods (24–48 h) in serum condition. An equal amount of DMSO (vehicle) is present in each treatment, including control; DMSO concentration did not exceed 0.1% (v/v) in any treatment. At the end of desired treatments, total cell number is determined by counting each sample in duplicate using a hemocytometer under an inverted microscope. Cell viability is determined using trypan blue exclusion method[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.
