Description

Hexylresorcinol (4-Hexylresorcinol) is a natural compound found in plants with antimicrobial, anthelmintic, antiseptic and antitumor activities. Hexylresorcinol can induce apoptosis in squamous carcinoma cells. Hexylresorcinol is a reversible and noncompetitive inhibitor of α-glucosidase. Hexylresorcinol has protective effects against oxidative DNA damage[1][2][3][4][5].

IC50 & Target

Human Endogenous Metabolite

 

In Vitro

Hexylresorcinol potently inhibits Gram positive bacteria, with MICs of 20-50 mg/L for several Gram positive bacteria. Gram negative bacteria, yeasts and fungi are less sensitive to it[1].
Hexylresorcinol inhibits oxidative DNA damage in human lymphocytes by increasing levels of glutathione and modulation of antioxidant enzymes (GPX, GR and GST)[2].
Hexylresorcinol (1-10 µg/mL; 24-72 hours) suppresses squamous carcinoma cell line SCC-9 proliferation[3].
Hexylresorcinol has strong antitumor effects by inhibiting calcium channel oscillation and inducing apoptosis[3].
Hexylresorcinol upregulates TGF-β/SMAD/VEGF signaling in endothelial cells and induces vascular regeneration and remodeling for wound healing[5].

Cell Proliferation Assay[3]

Cell Line: SCC-9 cells
Concentration: 1 µg/mL, 5 µg/mL, 10 µg/mL

Apoptosis Analysis[3]

Cell Line: SCC-9 cells

In Vivo

Hexylresorcinol (10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; for 16 days) inhibits tumor cell proliferation in mouse tumor xenografts and concomitant application of calcium channel blocker partly reverses the antitumor effect of Hexylresorcinol[3].

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% EtOH    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (12.87 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 EtOH 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% EtOH    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (12.87 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 EtOH 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.
