Description

Chrysin is one of the most well known estrogen blockers.

IC50 & Target

estrogen

In Vitro

Chrysin is mainly found in passion flowers, honey, and propolis acts as a potential therapeutic and preventive agent to inhibit proliferation and invasion of various human cancer cells. Although Chrysin has anti-carcinogenic effects in several cancers, little is known about its functional roles in ovarian cancer which shows poor prognosis and chemoresistance to traditional therapeutic agents. Chrysin inhibits ovarian cancer cell proliferation and induced cell death by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels as well as inducing loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Chrysin activates MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways in ES2 and OV90 cells in concentration-response experiments. Chrysin suppresses tumor growth byregulating canonical Wnt and nuclear factor NF-κB signaling cascades cancer cells.? Chrysin stimulates the phosphorylation of AKT and P70S6K proteins in both ES2 and OV90 cells compared tothe untreated control cells.? In addition, Chrysin activates the phospho-ERK1/2, p38,and JNK proteins as members of the MAPK pathway in the ovarian cancer cells[1].

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 (9.83 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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.83 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
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:  50% PEG300    50% Saline

    Solubility: 10 mg/mL (39.33 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

Cell Assay
[1]

The proliferation assays are conducted using a cell proliferation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) kit. Briefly, ES2 and OV90 cells are seeded in a 96-well plate, and then treated with Chrysin (0, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 µM) with or without inhibitors (20 μM LY294002, PI3K/AKT; 10 μM U0126, ERK1/2; 10 μM SP600125, JNK; and 20 μM SB203580, p38) in a final volume of 100 μL/well. Aftera48-h incubation, 10 μM BrdU is added to the cell culture, followed by an additional 2-h incubation at 37°C. After labeling the cells with BrdU, they are fixed and then incubated with the anti-BrdU-peroxidase (POD) working solution for 90 min. The anti-BrdU-POD binds to the BrdU incorporated into newly synthesized cellular DNA and these immune complexes are detected by analyzing their reaction with the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate. The absorbance values of the reaction product are measured at 370 and 492 nm using an ELISA reader[1].

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.
