Pinobanksin
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Pinobanksin is an antioxidant and anti-ferroptosis agent found in sunflower honey and propolis, with oral activity. Pinobanksin enhances Nrf2-mediated antioxidant defense, inhibits NF-κB inflammation, and suppresses apoptosis and ferroptosis in in vivo models and normal cells. Pinobanksin exhibits apoptosis-inducing effects on B-cell lymphoma cells. Pinobanksin can be used in research related to perfluorooctane sulfonate-induced renal/cardiac toxicity, acute colitis, and B-cell lymphoma.

In Vitro
Pinobanksin (0.001-1000 μM; 3-15 days) maintains the total motility, progressive motility, and path velocity of Wenchang boar sperm[2].
Pinobanksin (1 μM; 6-9 days) protects the motility and quality maintenance of Wenchang boar spermatozoa stored at 4°C for 6 and 9 days, and this protective effect is abolished by Dorsomorphin (HY-13418A) inhibition of AMPK, confirming that AMPK is a key downstream mediator of its protective effect on sperm function[2].
Pinobanksin (500 μM; 2 h) does not chemically react with or chelate DSS under cell-free conditions[4].
Pinobanksin (1 μM; 6-9 days) maintains cell membrane integrity, acrosome integrity, DNA integrity, ATP content, mitochondrial membrane potential, and intracellular Ca2+ levels in Wenchang boar sperm[2].
Pinobanksin (1 μM; 6-9 days) enhances the antioxidant defense capacity and reduces oxidative damage in Wenchang boar spermatozoa stored at 4°C for 6 and 9 days by modulating glutathione homeostasis, enhancing antioxidant enzyme activity, and upregulating Nrf2 target proteins[2].
Pinobanksin (1 μM; 6-9 days) inhibits apoptosis of Wenchang boar spermatozoa during cryopreservation by upregulating anti-apoptotic proteins and suppressing pro-apoptotic mediators[2].
Pinobanksin (1 μM) activates the CaMKKβ/AMPK/Nrf2 signaling pathway in Wenchang boar sperm during low-temperature preservation[2].
Pinobanksin (1 μM; 6-9 days) maintains motility, improves quality, and exerts anti-apoptotic effects in Wenchang boar sperm stored at 4°C, and these effects are abolished by STO-609 (HY-19805) inhibition of CaMKKβ, indicating that CaMKKβ-mediated sperm function protection is crucial[2].
Pinobanksin (10-50 μM; 48 h) inhibits ferroptosis in IEC-6 intestinal epithelial cells treated with RSL3 (HY-100218A) or Erastin (HY-15763)[4].
Pinobanksin (50 μM) upregulates GPX4 protein expression, GSH content, cystine uptake, and glutamate release in RSL3-treated IEC-6 cells in an SLC7A11-dependent manner[4].
Pinobanksin (10-50 μM) reduces lipid reactive oxygen species levels in RSL3-induced ferroptotic IEC-6 intestinal epithelial cells[4].
Pinobanksin (50 μM) reduces cellular iron accumulation and inhibits lipid peroxidation in RSL3-treated IEC-6 intestinal epithelial cells through an SLC7A11-dependent mechanism[4].
Pinobanksin (48 h) inhibits the proliferation of mouse B-cell lymphoma M12.C3.F6 cells with an IC50 of 52.1 μM[6].
Pinobanksin (50 μM; 12 h) induces apoptosis in mouse B-cell lymphoma M12.C3.F6 cells[6].

In Vivo
Pinobanksin (20 mg/kg; daily; for 30 consecutive days) ameliorates PFOS-induced cardiotoxicity in Sprague Dawley rats by activating the Nrf-2/Keap-1 pathway, restoring antioxidant defense, reducing cardiac injury biomarkers, inhibiting inflammation and apoptosis, and preserving cardiac tissue architecture[3].
Pinobanksin (25-80 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; for 9 consecutive days) alleviates DSS-induced acute colitis in mice and inhibits colonic epithelial ferroptosis, with the high dose strongly activating SLC7A11 and increasing SLC7A11 mRNA expression[4].
Pinobanksin (80 mg/kg, p.o., once daily for 9 days) alleviates colitis and intestinal epithelial ferroptosis, whereas the SLC7A11 antagonist HG106 (HY-W451275) largely reverses these effects, indicating that its anti-colitis/anti-ferroptosis effects in this model mainly depend on the SLC7A11-glutathione-GPX4 axis[4].
