Description

Aurantio-obtusin is a anthraquinone compound that can be extracted from cassia seed. Aurantio-obtusin has the effects of decreasing blood pressure, decreasing blood lipids and anti-inflammatory.Aurantio-obtusin is an orally active vasodilator. Aurantio-obtusin ameliorates hepatic steatosis through AMPK/ autophagy- and AMPK/TFEB mediated inhibition of lipid accumulation[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Aurantio-obtusin (6.25-100 μM; 24 h) significantly decreases the production of NO and PGE2, and inhibits the expression of IL-6, TNF-α, COX-2 protein in RAW264.7 cells treated with LPS (0.2µg/mL)[2].
Aurantio-obtusin (6.25-100 μM; 12 h) inhibits the activation of NF-κ B by inhibiting the phosphorylation of i-κB and IKK in RAW264.7 cells treated with LPS (0.2µg/mL)[1].
Aurantioobtusin (1-10000 nM) induces small resistance vasodilation in rat MA in a concentration-dependent manner[1].

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

In Vivo

Aurantio-obtusin (5-15 mg/kg; Oral administration; Single dose) in HFSW-induced mice reduces HFSW-induced lipid droplet accumulation and extensive steatosis in a dose-dependent manner[3].
Aurantio-obtusin (5-15 mg/kg; Oral administration; A single dose) inhibits fatty acid synthesis, promotes FAO and activates AMPK signaling and autophagy in HFSW-induced mice [3].

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

Animal Model: C57BL/6J mice model[3]
Dosage: 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 15 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage (p.o.), feeding with HFSW diet for 4 weeks then giving different dose of Aurantio-obtusin for another 4 weeks.
Result: Decreased the levels of TG and TC in liver and TG, ALT and AST in serum induced by HSFW.
Reduced the number and size of fat droplets in liver cells.
Significantly increased AMPK phosphorylation in HFSW-induced mice.

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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.30 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.

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.
