Quercetagitrin
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Quercetagitrin (Quercetagetin-7-O-glucoside) is a natural product that can be isolated from the African marigold (Tagetes erecta). Quercetagitrin has anti-inflammatory activity. Quercetagitrin inhibits Tau accumulation. Quercetagitrin can reverse neuroinflammation and cognitive deficits in P301S-Tau transgenic mouse model through inhibiting NF-κB activation. Quercetagitrin is a dual-target inhibitor of PTPN6 (IC50 = 1 μM) and PTPN9 (IC50 = 1.7 μM). Quercetagitrin enhances glucose uptake by mature C2C12 myoblasts. Quercetagitrin can be studied in research for Alzheimer’s disease and type 2 diabetes.

Result:Remarkably decreased acetylation level at Lys174.
Reduced tau accumulation in the hippocampus and the cortex.
Prevented augmented GSK3β activity in the hippocampus.
Reduced tau oligomerization.
Prominently limited astrogliosis and microglia activation in the hippocampus of P301S-tau transgenic mice.
Partially elevated synaptophysin expression and efficiently ameliorated the memory deficits in P301S-tau transgenic mice, evidenced by decreased latency in reaching the target platform region.
Reduced gliosis, neuronal loss, synaptic impairments and cognitive deficits.

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.33 mM); Clear solution
