Herbacetin is a natural flavonoid from flaxseed, exerts various pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. Herbacetin is an Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) allosteric inhibitor, directly binds to Asp44, Asp243, and Glu384 on ODC. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the first step of polyamine biosynthesis.

Herbacetin is a natural flavonoid from flaxseed, exerts various pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects^[1]. Herbacetin is an Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) allosteric inhibitor, directly binds to Asp44, Asp243, and Glu384 on ODC. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the first step of polyamine biosynthesis^[2].

IC₅₀ & Target

In Vivo

Herbacetin (orally administration; 20mg/kg) significantly reduces the body weight, plasma glucose, plasma insulin, and HOMA-IR activity in obesity associated insulin resistant mice (OIR). (Herbacetin dissolves in 0.5% DMSO)^[1].
Herbacetin (intraperitoneal injection; 0.4, 2, 10 or 20 mg/kg; B.W.) decreases the number and size of polyps in APCMⁱⁿ⁺ mice with no overt toxicity^[2].

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.

Protocol 1

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline

Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.27 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.

Protocol 2

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

Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.27 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.

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.
