Description

Balanophonin is an anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agent. Balanophonin inhibits microglial activation and neurodegeneration via inhibiting activated microglia-induced apoptosis[1].

IC50 & Target[1]

COX-2

 

p38

 

In Vitro

Balanophonin (1-10 μM; 24 h) reduces Lipopolysaccharides (LPS; HY-D1056)-mediated TLR4 activation and NO production in BV2 cells[1].
Balanophonin (1-10 μM; 6 h) reduces iNOS and COX2 protein expression and TNF-α and IL-1β production in LPS-induced microglial cells[1].
Balanophonin (1-10 μM; 30 min) effectively inhibits MAPK activation[1].
Balanophonin (1-10 μM; 24 h) inhibits neuronal cell death resulting from LPS-activated microglia by regulating cleaved caspase-3 and poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) cleavage in N2a cells[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: LPS-activated BV-2 cells
Concentration: 1, 5, and 10 μM
Incubation Time: 30 min for MAPKs, 6 h for iNOS and COX2 and 24 h for PGE2, TNF-α and IL-1β
Result: Downregulated TLR4. Reduced iNOS and COX2 expression. Significantly reduced the secretion of TNF-α and IL-1β. Decreased the phosphorylation of MAPKs such as pERK, pJNK, and p-p38.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: Neuroblastoma N2a cells
Concentration: 1, 5, and 10 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Slightly increased Bcl-2. Inhibited caspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage.

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.
