D-Arabinose

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

D-Arabinose is is an orally active antidepressant and a growth inhibitor of C. elegans (IC₅₀ is 7.5 mM). D-Arabinose can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, selectively interfere with the metabolism of D-ribose and D-fructose, and inhibit the growth of nematodes. D-Arabinose can also inhibit the synthesis of cell biofilm and exert antibacterial activity. D-Arabinose activates the ACSS2-PPARγ/TFEB-CRTC1 axis through the lysosomal AXIN-LKB1-AMPK pathway, inducing CRTC1 transcription, exerts antidepressant-like activity. D-Arabinose is the ring-opened form of the aldopentose D-?Arabinose (HY-N7082).

In Vitro

D-Arabinose (40 μM; 24 h) activates the ACSS2-PPARγ/TFEB pathway in SH-SY5Y/BV2 cells and significantly upregulates CRTC1 protein level, BDNF mRNA level and AMPK phosphorylation level^[1].

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

Western Blot Analysis^[1]

Cell Line:

SH-SY5Y (human neuroblastoma), BV2 (mouse microglia)
Concentration:

40 μM (WB/qPCR), 6 h (metabolic flux)
Incubation Time:

24 h
Result:

Increased CRTC1 protein (2.1±0.3-fold) and BDNF mRNA (1.8±0.2-fold) in both cell lines; PPARγ/TFEB proteins upregulated (1.7-fold), ACSS2 phosphorylation (S659) increased 2.5-fold.
Enhanced PPARγ/TFEB recruitment to CRTC1 promoter (2.3-fold for PPARγ, 1.9-fold for TFEB).
Increased glucose-derived pyruvate M+1 isotopomer and glutamate synthesis, while reducing ATP levels.

In Vivo

D-Arabinose (2.5% or 5% drinking water; free drinking; 30 days) improves depressive-like behavior and reverses the downregulation of CRTC1 and BDNF expression in the hippocampus in the mouse chronic restraint stress (CRS) model^[1].
D-Arabinose (42 mM; 3 days) significantly inhibits the growth of C. elegans N2 strain (wild type)^[2].

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

Animal Model:

C57BL/6 J male mice (6-8 weeks, CRS-induced depression model)^[1]
Dosage:

2.5% (w/v, drinking water), 5% (w/v, drinking water)
Administration:

Oral via drinking water ad libitum; 30 days (chronic treatment) or single gavage (3 h prior to testing)
Result:

Behavioral tests
Chronic treatment: 2.5% and 5% D-arabinose reduced immobility time in tail suspension test (TST, ↓35% and ↓41%, p<0.001) and forced swim test (FST, ↓38% and ↓45%, p<0.001), and increased sucrose preference (↑42% and ↑50%, p<0.01).
Single gavage (5%): Rapid antidepressant effect with TST immobility ↓28% at 3 h post-treatment.

Neurobiological changes
Hippocampal CRTC1 protein ↑2.1-fold (p<0.01) and BDNF mRNA ↑1.8-fold (p<0.05) in 2.5% group; dendritic spine density in DG region restored to control levels (↑65%, p<0.001).
Knockdown of hippocampal CRTC1/ACSS2/PPARγ/TFEB abolished D-arabinose’s antidepressant effects, confirming pathway dependency.

Stock Solution Working Solution

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.

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.
