Tetrahydropiperine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Tetrahydropiperine is an orally effective, selective inhibitor of NF-κB and MAPKs<、b>, and an activator of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR<、b> pathway. Tetrahydropiperine reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6, and nitric oxide (NO) by inhibiting the nuclear translocation of NF-κB and the phosphorylation of MAPKs such as ERK, JNK, and p38. At the same time, Tetrahydropiperine inhibits excessive autophagy by activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, protecting neurons from oxidative damage. Tetrahydropiperine has anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and neuroprotective effects, and is mainly used in the study of inflammatory diseases (such as endotoxemia, arthritis) and neurological diseases such as ischemic stroke.

Biological Activity
|
CYP1A1 23 μM (IC50) |
Tetrahydropiperine (1, 5, 10 μM; pretreatment for 1 h + LPS stimulation for 24 h) can significantly inhibit the production of NO, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β induced by 1 μg/mL LPS in RAW 264.7 cells, and down-regulate the expression of COX-2 and i-NOS[1].
Tetrahydropiperine (10, 20, 40 μg/mL; 24 h) can improve the survival rate of PC-12 cells in the oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) model, reduce cell morphological damage, and up-regulate the expression of proteins related to the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway[2].

Cell Line:RAW 264.7 cells
-
Concentration:5, 10 μM
-
Incubation Time:1 h pretreatment + 24 h LPS stimulation
-
Result:Significantly attenuated the expression of COX-2 and i-NOS proteins in LPS-stimulated cells, and inhibited the phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 and IκBα, indicating downregulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley rats (male, 200±20 g, 6-8 weeks) permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) model[2]
-
Dosage:10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg
-
Administration:Oral gavage daily, starting 1 h after pMCAO surgery, 14 days
-
Result:Dose-dependently improved neurological function, decreased cerebral infarct volume (notably 20 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg groups), and enhanced neuronal survival as shown by Nissl staining.
Western blot analysis revealed upregulation of PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-mTOR/mTOR proteins, and downregulation of autophagy-related proteins Atg7 and Beclin1, indicating inhibition of excessive autophagy via the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.64 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.
