Carminic acid (10-20 μM; 24 h) can reduce the levels of inflammatory factors, ROS, MDA, and H2O2 and increase the activity of SOD in Fructose (HY-N0395)-treated TCMK-1 and HK2 cells. The mechanism involves the inhibition of NF-κB and JNK and the activation of Nrf-2[1].

Cell Line:TCMK-1 and HK2 cells treated Fructose (HY-N0395)
-
Concentration:10 and 20 μM
-
Incubation Time:24 h
-
Result:Markedly reduced the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-4, IL-18, TNF-α, TGF-β1, MCP-1, TIMP-1, MIP-1α and CXCL1.
Carminic acid (0.1-100 mM) has a deterrent effect on ant feeding[2].
Carminic acid (500-3000 mg/kg; oral gavage) can cause hyperactivity-like behaviors in rats at high doses (1500 and 3000 mg/kg), while the low dose (500 mg/kg) has no negative effects on the locomotor activity and anxiety behaviors of rats[3].
