8-Gingerol can be found in the rhizome of ginger (Z. officinale) and has oral bioactivity. It activates TRPV1, with an EC₅₀ value of 5.0 µM. 8-Gingerol inhibits COX-2 and also suppresses the growth of H. pylori in vitro. Additionally, 8-Gingerol exhibits anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and modulating its downstream STAT3/ERK pathway to suppress the proliferation, migration, and invasion of colorectal cancer cells. 8-Gingerol also exerts immunosuppressive effects by inhibiting oxidative stress, inducing cell cycle arrest, promoting apoptosis, and regulating autophagy. Furthermore, 8-Gingerol has cardioprotective effects. 8-Gingerol is promising for research in the fields of cancer, infection, immunosuppression, and cardiovascular diseases.

8-Gingerol (0-70 µM, 24-72 hours) can inhibit the proliferation of HCT116 and DLD1 colorectal cancer cells, induce G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest, and significantly promote apoptosis in HCT116 cells^[3].
8-Gingerol (0-70 µM, 48 hours) significantly inhibits the migration and invasion abilities of the cells, and its effect is dependent on the EGFR/STAT3/ERK pathway^[3].
8-Gingerol (100 µM, 48 hours) can reduce the effective concentration of 5-FU in HCT116 and DLD1 colorectal cancer cells, and in combination treatment, it may help reduce the toxicity of 5-FU^[3].

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
