SDS COA Handling Instructions

Trans-Anethole ((E)-Anethole) is an orally active phenylpropene derivative found in Foeniculum vulgare that is estrogenic at low concentrations and cytotoxic at high concentrations in tumor cell lines. Trans-Anethole also has anti-aflatoxin, anti-thrombotic and anti-diabetic activities. Trans-Anethole is an important odor component in plants such as fennel, myrtle, liquorice, and camphor.

Description

Trans-Anethole ((E)-Anethole) is an orally active phenylpropene derivative found in Foeniculum vulgare that is estrogenic at low concentrations and cytotoxic at high concentrations in tumor cell lines. Trans-Anethole also has anti-aflatoxin, anti-thrombotic and anti-diabetic activities. Trans-Anethole is an important odor component in plants such as fennel, myrtle, liquorice, and camphor[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].

In Vitro

Trans-Anethole (0.25-2 mM; 3 h) causes concentration and time-dependent cell death in isolated rat hepatocytes at doses greater than 1 mM[2].
Trans-Anethole (0.25-1 mM; 3 h) produces metabolites 4MCA and 4OHPB sulfate that increases over time in isolated rat hepatocytes cultured at 0.5 and 1 mM doses, while metabolite 4OHPB increases over time only at 1 mM dose[2].
Trans-Anethole (0.5, 1 mM; 3 h) enhances and accelerates the killing of rat hepatocytes in vitro by DCNP (50 mM) and the loss of cellular ATP[2].
Trans-Anethole (0.1 mM; 6 d) has a certain degree of cytotoxicity against human breast cancer MCF-7 cells[2].

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 (16.87 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 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 (16.87 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 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.

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.

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.
