Description

(+)-Isomenthone is an enantiomer form of Menthone (HY-N2381). (+)-Isomenthone blocks TNF-α-triggered activation of the JNK and p38 MAPK pathways.(+)-Isomenthone inhibits TNF-α-mediated reductions in cell viability, increases in apoptosis, and downstream apoptotic events linked to pathway activation.(+)-Isomenthone protects human dermal fibroblasts against TNF-α-induced cell death under serum-deprived conditions[1].

In Vitro

(+)-Isomenthone (1-50 μM; 1-6 days) protects human dermal fibroblasts from TNF-α-induced cell death in a concentration- and time-dependent manner[1].
(+)-Isomenthone (50 μM; 6 days) significantly reduces TNF-α-induced apoptosis in human dermal fibroblasts, lowering the apoptotic cell population from 64% to 23% after 6 days of treatment[1].
(+)-Isomenthone (50 μM; 6 days) suppresses downstream apoptotic events in TNF-α-treated human dermal fibroblasts, including cytochrome c release, caspase-3 activation, and PARP cleavage, after 6 days of treatment[1].
(+)-Isomenthone (10-50 μM; 14h) does not modulate NF-κB activity in human dermal fibroblasts, either alone or in the presence of TNF-α[1].
(+)-Isomenthone (1-50 μM; 2h pretreatment, followed by TNF-α stimulation for 5-40min) inhibits TNF-α-induced phosphorylation of JNK and p38 MAPK (but not ERK) in human dermal fibroblasts, with significant suppression observed at 5, 10, 20, and 40 minutes after TNF-α stimulation[1].

Maintained higher cell viability than the TNF-α-only group from day 3 onward with 50 μM, with statistically significant differences at days 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: human dermal fibroblasts
Concentration: 50 μM
Incubation Time: 6 days

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (16.21 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (16.21 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

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.
