Description

Xanthorrhizol, isolated from Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb, is a potential antibacterial agent.

In Vitro

Xanthorrhizol is a potential antibacterial agent from Curcuma xanthorrhiza against streptocpccus mutants[1]. SEM analysis shows that, treatment of Candida species with MIC of Xanthorrhizol affects the external morphology of these yeasts. Cells incubated in the presence of Xanthorrhizol demonstrate a greater tendency to clump compared with the control cultures. Xanthorrhizol treated C. glabrata cells shows minor abnormalities without a smooth or a slightly awkward surface. Xanthorrhizol-treated Candida cells exhibit deformation and protrusions on the cell surface, which is more clearly demonstrated with C. guilliermondii and C. parapsilosis. In general, Candida exposed to, Xanthorrhizol at concentrations 1 x MICs exhibits substantial ultrastructural abnormalities such as shape deformation, protrusion, rugged cells surface, and clumping[2].

In Vivo

Ear edema induced by the topical application of TPA is suppressed by pre-treatment with Xanthorrhizol in a doserelated manner (P<0.005). Topical application of Xanthorrhizol alone does not induce ear edema in mice. All the mice treated with 7.5 nM TPA for 19 weeks after initiation by DMBA developed an average of 15.5±2.3 skin tumors per mouse (tumor multiplicity). Pre-treatment with 2 and 6 μM Xanthorrhizol reduces tumor multiplicity to 6.9±1.1 (P<0.005) and 4.0±1.1 (P<0.005), respectively, at 19 weeks. In addition, Xanthorrhizol at 2 and 6 μM dose dependently lowers the percentage of tumor-bearing mice (tumor incidence) to 80 and 57%, respectively, at the termination of the experiments. Furthermore, the tumor multiplicity (P<0.05) and incidence are reduced in the DMBA-initiated mice that are topically treated with Xanthorrhizol for 6 weeks after the induction of papillomas with hyperplasia, mild dysplasia and moderate dysplasia by topical TPA application for 6, 18 and 24 weeks, respectively. The increased ODC expression in mouse epidermis with acute inflammation and tumor promotion induced by TPA is inhibited by pre-treatment with Xanthorrhizol in a dose-dependent manner. The topical application of Xanthorrhizol after the induction of papillomas with hyperplasia and dysplasia also potently inhibited ODC expression[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 (11.45 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 (11.45 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.

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.
