Zederone
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Zederone is a sesquiterpene. Zederone inhibits ovarian cancer cell proliferation through mTOR/p70s6K signalling pathway. Zederone inhibits CYP activities with IC50s of 2.9 μM (CYP2B6), 9.2 μM (CYP2C9), 11,2 μM (CYP2C19) and >30 μM (CYP1A2 and CYP2D6). Zederone is hepatotoxic with LD50 value at 24 hours in mice of approximately 223 mg/kg and cytotoxic against the KG1a cell line. Zederone shows antibacterial activity against a number of multi-drug resistant and Methicillin (HY-121544)-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain. Zederone shows cognition improving capacity and assists in the modulation of gut bacterial dysbiosis.

Biological Activity
|
mTOR |
Zederone (0-80 μg/mL, 24 h) can inhibit the proliferation of human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3 and arrest SKOV3 cells at G1 phase, and it may regulate the proliferation of SKOV3 cells through inhibiting mTOR/p70s6K signalling pathway[2].
Zederone (0-30 μM, 24 h) significantly activates mouse PXR, significantly activates human PXR and CAR, and AhR shows no response in human hepatoma C3A cells[3].
Zederone exhibits IC50s in HLM incubations of 3.9 μM (CYP2B6), 9.9 μM (CYP3A4/M) and >50 μM (CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4/T)[3].
Zederone shows antibacterial activity against SA1199B, ATCC25923, XU212, RN4220 and EMRSA15 with MICs of 128, 64, 128, 64 and 128 μg/ml[4].
Zederone (0-100 μg/mL, 48 h) selectively kills leukemia stem cells (KG1a) with an IC50 of 56.8 μg/mL and low cytotoxicity toward normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) [5].

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 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.15 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.15 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
