Sophoflavescenol shows cytotoxicity against human leukaemia (HL-60), Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC), and human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial (A549) cells. Sophoflavescenol exerts notable anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting nitric oxide generation and tert-butylhydroperoxide-induced ROS generation rather than inhibiting nuclear factor kappa B activation in RAW 264.7 cells[1]. Sophoflavescenol exhibits remarkable inhibition of RLAR activity with an IC50 value of 0.30 μM, compared with 0.07 μM for epalrestat, a well known ARI. Sophoflavescenol also shows potent inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 0.17 μM, comparable to epalrestat (0.15 μM) in the HRAR assay. In the AGE assay, sophoflavescenol (IC50 17.89 μg/mL) is a more potent inhibitor of AGE formation than aminoguanidine (IC50 81.05 μg/mL). Sophoflavescenol exerts both potent AChE and BChE inhibitory effects with respective IC50 values of 8.37 and 8.21 μM. Sophoflavescenol also exhibits good BACE1 inhibition in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 value of 10.98 μM[2]. Sophoflavescenol is a mixed inhibitor (Ki=0.005 μM) against cGMP PDE5. Sophoflavescenol shows greatest selectivity toward PDE5, 31.5- and 196.2-fold over PDE3 and PDE4, respectively[3].

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (6.79 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a clear solution of 2.5 mg/mL.
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
Briefly, a mixture of 10 µL of assay buffer (50 mm sodium acetate, pH 4.5), 10 µL of BACE1 (1.0 U/mL), 10 µL of the substrate (750 nm Rh-EVNLDAEFK-Quencher in 50 mm, ammonium bicarbonate) and 10 µL of the tested samples [final concentration (f.c.) 100 µM for compounds] dissolved in 10% DMSO is incubated for 60 min at 25°C in the dark. The proteolysis of two fluorophores (Rh-EVNLDAEFK-Quencher) by BACE1 is monitored by formation of the fluorescent donor (Rh-EVNL) that increased in fluorescence wavelengths at 530-545 nm (excitation) and 570-590 nm (emission), respectively. Fluorescence is measured with a microplate spectrofluorometer. The mixture is irradiated at 545 nm and the emission intensity recorded at 585 nm. The percent inhibition (%) is obtained by the following equation: % Inhibition=[1 − (S60 − S0)/(C60 − C0)] × 100, where C60 is the fluorescence of the control (enzyme, buffer, substrate) after 60 min of incubation, C0 the initial fluorescence of the control, S60 the fluorescence of the tested samples (enzyme, sample solution, substrate) after 60 min of incubation, and S0 the initial fluorescence of the tested samples. To allow for the quenching effect of the samples, the sample solution is added to reaction mixture C, and any reduction in fluorescence by the sample is then investigated. The BACE1 inhibitory activity of each sample is expressed in terms of the IC50 value (µM required to inhibit proteolysis of the BACE1 substrate, by 50%), as calculated from the log-dose inhibition curve.
