Mollugin 

Cat. No.: HY-N0316 Purity: 99.48%
COA Handling Instructions

Mollugin is an orally active and potent NF-κB inhibitor. Mollugin induces S-phase arrest of HepG2 cells, and increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Mollugin induces DNA damage in HepG2 cells, as well as an increase in the expression of p-H2AX. Mollugin shows anti-cancer effect by inhibiting TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation. Mollugin enhances the osteogenic action of BMP-2 (bone morphogenetic protein 2) via the p38-Smad signaling pathway.

Description

Mollugin is an orally active and potent NF-κB inhibitor. Mollugin induces S-phase arrest of HepG2 cells, and increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Mollugin induces DNA damage in HepG2 cells, as well as an increase in the expression of p-H2AX. Mollugin shows anti-cancer effect by inhibiting TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation. Mollugin enhances the osteogenic action of BMP-2 (bone morphogenetic protein 2) via the p38-Smad signaling pathway[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Mollugin (0-80 μM, 24 h) inhibits the expression of an NF-κB reporter gene induced by TNF-α in a dose-dependent manner[1].
Mollugin (0-80 μM, 12 h) inhibits the proliferation of HeLa cells[1].
Mollugin (0-80 μM, 12 h) inhibits TNF-α-induced phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of p65, phosphorylation and degradation of IκBα, and IKK phosphorylation, and inhibits the TNF-α-induced mRNA expression of Cyclin D1, c-Myc, and VEGF[1].
Mollugin (0-80 μM, 12 h) enhances TNF-α-induced apoptosis[1].

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: HeLa, Hep3B, and HEK293 cells
Concentration: 0, 10, 20, 40, and 80 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Significantly inhibited NF-κB reporter gene expression in a dose-dependent manner, did not display significant cellular toxicity in HeLa, Hep3B, and HEK293 cells.

Cell Proliferation Assay[1]

Cell Line: HeLa cells
Concentration: 0, 20, 40, and 80 μM
Incubation Time: 12 h
Result: Inhibited the proliferation of HeLa cells.

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: HeLa cells
Concentration: 0, 10, 20, 40, and 80 μM
Incubation Time: 12 h
Result: Slightly affected the caspase-3 activation, potentiated the effect of TNF-α-induced PARP cleavage, and enhanced the apoptotic effects of TNF-α.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: HeLa cells
Concentration: 0, 10, 20, 40, and 80 μM
Incubation Time: 12 h
Result: Significantly inhibited the TNF-α-induced p65 phosphorylation and block TNF-α-induced nuclear translocation of p65 in a dose-dependent manner, completely inhibited degradation of IκBα at 80 μM, and abolished the TNF-α-induced IKK phosphorylation at 80 μM. Inhibited the TNF-α-induced mRNA expression of Cyclin D1, c-Myc, and VEGF at 80 μM.
In Vivo

Mollugin (0-75 mg/kg, Orally, three times per week for 36 days) inhibits growth of HeLa cells in a xenograft tumor model[1].

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

Animal Model: BALB/c female athymic nude mice (six-week-old, subcutaneously injected with 0.2 mL HeLa cells)[1]
Dosage: 0, 25 and 75 mg/kg
Administration: Orally, three times per week for 36 days
Result: Suppressed tumor growth, whereas the body weight did not change. Significantly reduced the protein expression of p-p65 and COX-2 in the tumors.

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.
