Adhumulone
Adhumulone is an α-acid derived from hops and a selective AKR1B10 inhibitor, with IC50 values of 5.41-29.27 μM and Ki values of 3.27-16.79 μM against human AKR1B10. Adhumulone inhibits AKR1B10-mediated reduction of Farnesol (HY-Y0248A) as a competitive inhibitor, and it also suppresses the reduction of DL-Glyceraldehyde (HY-128748) and Farnesal substrates. Adhumulone is useful for research on ras-dependent malignancies.

In Vitro
Adhumulone (Compound 1) selectively inhibits recombinant human AKR1B10 when DL-Glyceraldehyde (HY-128748) is used as the substrate, with an IC50 of 5.41 µM and a Ki value of 3.27 μM, while its activity against AKR1A1 and AKR1B1 is much weaker[1].
Adhumulone acts as a competitive inhibitor of recombinant human AKR1B10-mediated reduction of Farnesol (HY-Y0248A), with an IC50 of 29.27 µM and a Ki of 16.79 µM[1].
Adhumulone (41c) is a major α-acid sensory metabolite in fresh Humulus lupulus L. hop pellets, with concentrations ranging from 5-15% across 75 commercial hop varieties[2].

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.
