Description

Pristimerin is a potent and reversible monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) inhibitor with an IC50 of 93 nM.

IC50 & Target

IC50: 93 nM (MGL)[1]

In Vitro

Pristimerin inhibits the activity of purified MGL with an IC50 of 93±8 nM and that of non-purified MGL (cell lysates of MGL-transfected HeLa cells) with an IC50 of 398±68 nM. Pristimerin inhibits MGL through a mechanism that is rapid, reversible and non-competitive. The binding of pristimerin to MGL might be strengthened by formation of a polar interaction with a regulatory cysteine, possibly Cys208[1]. Pristimerin inhibits HFLS-RA and HUVEC cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Pristimerin decreases VEGF-induced autophosphorylation of VEGFR2 and attenuates the activation of the VEGF-induced VEGFR2-mediated signaling pathway [2].

In Vivo

Pristimerin inhibits inflammation and tumor angiogenesis. Pristimerin significantly reduces vessel density in synovial membrane tissues of inflamed joints and reduces the expression of pro-angiogenic factors in sera, including TNF-α, Ang-1, and MMP-9[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    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2 mg/mL (4.30 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Cell Assay
[2]

HFLS-RA (5 × 103 cells/mL) or HUVECs (1 × 104 cells/well) are seeded in 96-well plates and cultured in normal growth medium for 24 h. The cells are then incubated with different Pristimerin concentrations (0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5 μM). The effects of Pristimerin on HUVECs viability are determined under VEGF-induced conditions. Cell viability is quantified by MTT assay. At 4 h before the end of the culture period, 30 μL of MTT solution (5.0 mg/mL) is added to each well. Cells without Pristimerin or VEGF served as a vehicle control[2].

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

Animal Administration

Rat: Pristimerin is dissolved in DMSO (0.4%) and intraperitoneally injected daily into Male Sprague-Dawley rats in the experimental group (low-dose group, 0.40 mg/kg of body weight; high-dose group, 0.80 mg/kg of body weight) from day 11 to day 24 of immunization. The model group received vehicle (DMSO, 0.4%), and the normal control group received normal saline (NS). Methotrexate (positive control) is suspended in NS and orally administered in the autoimmune phase at an interval of 5 days[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.
