Handling Instructions Technical Support

(±)-Eriodictyol ((±)-Huazhongilexone; Dihydroluteolin) is an orally active TRPV1 receptor antagonist (IC50=44-47 nM, rTRPV1) with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. (±)-Eriodictyol effectively inhibits lipid peroxidation and the release of proinflammatory cytokines by specifically antagonizing the TRPV1 receptor and activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway. (±)-Eriodictyol reduces the levels of ICAM-1, VEGF, eNOS and TNF-α in the retina and maintains the integrity of the blood-retinal barrier. (±)-Eriodictyol alleviates oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and hyperalgesia, enhances the activity and cytotoxicity of immune cells (such as B lymphocytes, NK cells and macrophages), and increases the levels of antioxidant enzymes simultaneously. (±)-Eriodictyol can be used in the research of diabetic retinopathy, acute lung injury and various pain-related diseases.

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.

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.
