Senkyunolide I is an orally active, blood-brain barrier-permeable metabolite of Z-ligustilide (HY-N0401A). Senkyunolide I is isolated from Ligusticum chuanxiong. Senkyunolide I upregulates p-Erk1/2 and Nrf2/HO-1, and inhibits Caspase 3. Senkyunolide I alleviates Apoptosis. Senkyunolide I increases the pain threshold in mice and reduces acetic acid-induced writhing responses in mice. Senkyunolide I improves neurological deficits, reduces infarct volume and alleviates cerebral edema in rats with focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Senkyunolide I protects renal function and structural integrity in a mouse model of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Senkyunolide I is applicable to research related to focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, migraine, and renal ischemia-reperfusion injury.

In Vitro

Senkyunolide I (25-100 μM) activates the Nrf2/ARE pathway in Hek293T/pGF1-ARE cells[1].
Senkyunolide I (100-300 μg/mL; prior to H2O2 treatment) protects the renal tubular epithelial cell line HK2 against H2O2-induced loss of viability[3].

In Vivo

Senkyunolide I (36-72 mg/kg; i.v.; single dose at 15 minutes post-occlusion) exerts dose-dependent neuroprotective effects against focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats, with the 72 mg/kg dose significantly reducing neurological deficit scores to below vehicle levels, lowering infarct volume to 27.31% ± 2.40%, and enhancing anti-oxidant and anti-apoptotic pathways[1].
Senkyunolide I (8-32 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) dose-dependently increases thermal pain thresholds in mice, with the 32 mg/kg dose producing significant elevations as early as 20 min post-administration and the 16 mg/kg dose showing significant effects at 360 min post-administration[2].
Senkyunolide I (32 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) significantly reduces acetic acid-induced visceral pain in mice, while lower doses show no significant effect[2].

In Vivo:

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.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.15 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.15 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

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.
