Cat. No.: HY-15121 Purity: 99.64%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

L-Theanine (L-Glutamic Acid γ-ethyl amide) is a non-protein amino acid contained in green tea leaves, which blocks the binding of L-glutamic acid to glutamate receptors in the brain, and with neuroprotective, anticancer and anti-oxidative activities. L-Theanine can pass through the blood–brain barrier and is orally active.

제품 설명

L-Theanine (L-Glutamic Acid γ-ethyl amide) is a non-protein amino acid contained in green tea leaves, which blocks the binding of L-glutamic acid to glutamate receptors in the brain, and with neuroprotective, anticancer and anti-oxidative activities. L-Theanine can pass through the blood–brain barrier and is orally active[1][2][3].

In Vitro

L-Theanine (L-Glutamic Acid γ-ethyl amide) inhibits the incorporation of extracellular glutamine into neurons, resulting in the suppression of exocytotic release of glutamate[3].
L-Theanine (500 μM; 72 h) protects against excess Dopamine.html" class="link-product" target="_blank">Dopamine (HY-B0451)-induced neuronal death in presence of astrocytes and increases glutathione level in astrocytes[3].
L-Theanine (0-5 mM; 72 h) is involved in glutathione synthesis[3].
L-Theanine (0.1-5 mM; 24 h) dose-dependently inhibits the viability of melanoma but not normal epidermal melanocytes[4].
L-Theanine (1-5 mM; 24 h) arrests cell cycle at G0/G1 phase, suppresses cell migration, induces apoptosis in A375 cells[4].
L-Theanine (1-5 mM; 24 h) also affects the proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of B16–F10 melanoma cells[4].
L-Theanine shows protective effect on cadmium-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells by inhibiting the mitochondria-mediated pathway and decreased ROS production[5].

Cell Proliferation Assay[4]

Cell Line: A375 and PIG1 cells
Concentration: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2 and 5 mM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Dose-dependently decreased the viability of A375, but not PIG1 cells.

Cell Cycle Analysis[4]

Cell Line: A375
Concentration: 1, 2 and 5 mM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Led to a dose dependent accumulation of A375 cells in G0/G1 phase and prevented cells from entering the S phase.

Western Blot Analysis[4]

Cell Line: A375
Concentration: 1, 2 and 5 mM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Remarkably reduced the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), decreased protein levels of cyclinD1, cyclinE1, and cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK2 and CDK4). Potentiated the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (CDKN1A, p21).
Dose-dependently increased the levels of apoptosis-promoting proteins including BAX and cleaved-caspase3 and decreased the level of antiapoptotic protein BCL-2.
Concentration dependently reduced the protein levels of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, MMP9, and MMP2.
Dose-dependently increased the p53 expression.

Cell Migration Assay [4]

Cell Line: A375
Concentration: 1, 2 and 5 mM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Apparently suppressed the migration.

Apoptosis Analysis[4]

Cell Line: A375
Concentration: 1, 2 and 5 mM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Showed pro-apoptotic effect.

RT-PCR[4]

Cell Line: A375
Concentration: 1, 2 and 5 mM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Markedly elevated the mRNA levels of Bmal1, Clock, Rora, and Rev-erbβ.
In Vivo

L-Theanine (4.0 mg/kg; p.o.; daily for 14 days) upregulates glutathione contents in striata of normal mice[3].

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

Animal Model: Healthy male ICR mice weighing 32–34 g[3]
Dosage: 4.0 mg/kg
Administration: Oral administration, daily for 14 days
Result: Significantly increased glutathione content in the striatum, but not in the midbrain.

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.
