Description

Hexahydrocurcumin is one of the major metabolites of curcumin and a selective, orally active COX-2 inhibitor. Hexahydrocurcumin is inactive against COX-1. Hexahydrocurcumin has antioxidant, anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities[1][2].

IC50 & Target[1]

COX-2

 

In Vitro

Hexahydrocurcumin (0-25 μM; 24-48 hours; HT-29 cells) treatment significantly decreased the viability of HT-29 colon cancer cells in a time- and concentration-dependent. The respective IC50 values for 24 and 48 h of Hexahydrocurcumin exposureare 77.05 and 56.95, respectively[1].
Hexahydrocurcumin (0-25 μM; 24-48 hours; HT-29 cells) combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU; 5 μM) markedly reduces the COX-2 expression. The level of COX-1 is not altered[1].
Hexahydrocurcumin (0-25 μM; 24-48 hours; HT-29 cells) combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU; 5 μM) markedly reduces the COX-2 protein. The level of COX-1 protein is not altered[1].
Hexahydrocurcumin (7-14 μM; 24 hours) attenuates lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-elicited increase of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in murine macrophages (RAW 264.7) in a concentration-dependent manner[2].

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: HT-29 cells
Concentration: 25 µM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU; 5 µM) markedly reduced the COX-2 protein.
In Vivo

Hexahydrocurcumin (50 mg/kg; oral administration; daily; for 16 weeks; male Wistar rats) treatment significantly reduces the numbers of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in colon cancer rats. Hexahydrocurcumin also markedly decreases COX-2 protein expression. The levels of COX-1 protein is not different from normal rats[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% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.68 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 (6.68 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.
