Description

Raspberry ketone is a major aromatic compound of red raspberry, widely used as a fragrance in cosmetics and as a flavoring agent in foodstuff; also shows PPAR-α agonistic activity.

IC50 & Target

PPAR-α[3]

In Vitro

Raspberry ketone (1, 10, 20, and 50 μM) suppresses adipogenesis and lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. Raspberry ketone (10 µM) significantly blocks C/EBPα, PPARγ, and aP2 expression and increases the expression of ATGL and HSL, and CPT1B[1].

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

In Vivo

Raspberry ketone (0.5%, 1%, or 2%) increasses the levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol contents (LDL-C), ISI (insulin-sensitivr index), PPAR-α and LDLR, decreases the serum levels of AST (aspartate aminotransferase), ALT (alanine aminotransferase), ALP (alkaline phosphatase), IRI (insulin resistance index), GLU (glucose), INS (insulin-sensitivr index), LEP (leptin), and TNF-α in rats compared with a high-fat diet-induced NASH model. Raspberry ketone also causes increased SOD activities[2]. Raspberry ketone shows cardioprotective action against isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction in rats, and the effects may be due to its PPAR-α agonistic activity[3].

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 (15.23 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 (15.23 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]

For the cytotoxicity study, 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes are cultured and differentiated. After Raspberry ketone treatment for 4 d in DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum, the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentration in the medium is immediately detected with the CytoTox 96 nonradioactive cytotoxicity assay kit[1].

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

Animal Administration
[2]

During the experimental period, the animal room holds four rats per cage, with free access to water and food, under conditions of temperature controlled at 20-26°C, humidity at 40-70%, and a 12/12-h day-night light cycle. Rats are fed with normal diet for 1 week and then randomly divided into five groups: normal control (NC) group (n=8) fed normal diet for 8 weeks, the model control (MC) group (n=8) fed high-fat diet (82% standard diet, 8.3% yolk powder, 9.0% lard, 0.5% cholesterol, and 0.2% sodium taurocholate), the Raspberry ketone low-dose (RKL) group (n=8), the Raspberry ketone middle-dose (RKM) group (n=8), and the Raspberry ketone high-dose (RKH) group (n=8). Rats are first fed with high-fat diet for 4 weeks, and then these rats are given intragastrically 0.5%, 1%, or 2% Raspberry ketone. The first two groups of rats are intragastrically administered salad oil at the same dose (2 mL/day per rat) once a day at 10:00 a.m., lasting for 4 weeks[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.
