Bellidifolin is an orally active compound with antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Bellidifolin modulates key signaling pathways including STAT3, PI3K-Akt, mTOR and BRD4, and inhibits the viral protein R (Vpr). Bellidifolin induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, exerts significant antifibrotic effects, and protects the heart, liver and nervous system. Bellidifolin is applicable to the research of various diseases such as lung cancer, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, myocardial hypertrophy and ischemic cranial nerve injury.

In Vitro

Bellidifolin (25-100 μM; 72 h) potently inhibits the proliferation of human A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells in a concentration-dependent manner after 72 h, with significant inhibitory effects observed at concentrations of 50, 75, and 100 μM; however, it exerts no antiproliferative activity against normal human lung epithelial BEAS-2b cells following treatment at 25 to 100 μM for 72 h^[1].
Bellidifolin (50-100 μM; 72 h) upregulates the levels of caspase-8 and caspase-3 in a dose-dependent manner, and downregulates the level of PARP1, in human A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells^[1].
Bellidifolin (10-40 μM; pre-incubated for 4 h followed by 6 h of hypoxia treatment) concentration-dependently ameliorates hypoxia-induced morphological damage in PC12 cells, with the 40 μM concentration enabling near-complete recovery of cell morphology to the normal state^[2].
Bellidifolin (with BRD4 overexpressed, pre-incubated for 0.5 h prior to 12 h of ISO stimulation, at an administration concentration of 30 μM) exerts anti-hypertrophic effects, restores cell viability, and inhibits ISO-stimulated Pol II phosphorylation in H9C2 cells in a BRD4-dependent manner^[3].
Bellidifolin (administered following 0.5 h of pre-incubation, followed by ISO stimulation for 12 h, and conducted after Nox4 overexpression/knockdown and BRD4 overexpression) inhibits ISO-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in H9C2 cells via a BRD4/Nox4-dependent pathway^[3].
Bellidifolin (10 μM; 2 h pre-incubation) restores reduced anti-adipogenic protein levels in HepG2 cells, activates AMPK and inhibits mTOR phosphorylation, thereby reversing the BPF-induced upregulation of adipogenesis-related mRNAs and proteins, restoring the dysregulated AMPK-mTOR signaling axis, and suppressing the translocation of SREBP-1c from the cytoplasm to the nucleus^[4].
Bellidifolin (12.5-50 μM; 24 h) reduces the expression levels of TGF-β1-induced α-SMA, Collagen I and Collagen III proteins, and inhibits TGF-β1-induced SOX9 expression and Smad3 phosphorylation in human cardiac fibroblasts^[5].
Bellidifolin (20-80 μM; 12 h) alters the gene expression of H9c2 cells subjected to H₂O₂-induced injury, with its differentially expressed genes (DEGs) enriched in pathways including the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway^[6].

Bellidifolin exerts significant protective effects against focal cerebral ischemic injury in rats by inhibiting oxidative stress, reducing excitatory amino acid levels, and increasing GABA content^[2].
Bellidifolin (30 mg/kg/day; p.o.; daily; 21 consecutive days) ameliorates isoprenaline-induced cardiac hypertrophy in Kunming mice by inhibiting the BRD4/Nox4/ROS signalling pathway, significantly reducing cardiac hypertrophy markers, pathological changes, and restoring cardiac function^[3].
Bellidifolin (100 mg/kg body weight; i.p.; once daily; 14 days) mitigates BPF-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease-like changes in male C57BL/6J mice by activating AMPK, inhibiting mTOR, and downregulating lipogenesis-associated proteins^[4].
Bellidifolin (25-50 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 21 days) ameliorates isoproterenol-induced myocardial fibrosis in Kunming mice by inhibiting SOX9 expression, which in turn reduces the expression of α-SMA, Collagen I, and Collagen III^[5].

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.
