Bifendate (DDB), extracted from Schisandrae chinensis, is an orally active anti-HBV agent against chronic hepatitis B. Bifendate inhibits ATG5-dependent autophagy and attenuates oleic acid-induced lipid accumulation with anti-oxidant properties in vitro. Bifendate can decrease alanine transaminase (ALT) level in mice. Bifendate attenuates hepatic steatosis in cholesterol/bile salt- and high-fat diet-induced hypercholesterolemia in mice. Bifendate potently increases the activity of cytochrome proteins (CYPs) and reverse P-gp-mediated multi-drug resistance (MDR).

In Vitro

Bifendate (0-50 μM, 12 h) inhibits autophagy degradation in a ATG5-dependent manner and inhibits lysosomal activity in Hela cells and MEFs[2].
Bifendate (50 μM, 12 h) attenuates oleic acid (OA)-induced lipid droplet accumulation which is consistent with reduced autophagy activity and lysosome acidity in HepG2 cells[2].

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

Cell Autophagy Assay[2]

Cell Line: Hela cells and MEFs
Concentration: 0-50 μM
Incubation Time: 12 h

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: Hela cells
Concentration: 50 μM
Incubation Time: 12 h
Result: Significantly reduced the mCTSD level and led to the accumulation of LC3-II and p62 combined with Torin2 (HY-13002) in Hela cells.

Immunofluorescence[2]

Cell Line: HepG2 cells
Concentration: 50 μM
Incubation Time: 12 h
Result: Protected cells from OA-induced cell death, decreased the number of OA-induced intracellular lipid droplets and inhibited the increased lysosomal acid-ity caused by OA in HepG2 cells.

Bifendate (12 mg/kg, oral gavage, a single dose) from the liquid SEDDS and the SEP significantly increases oral bioavailability than that from pills in rats[3].
Bifendate (0.03-0.3 g/kg, i.g., daily from day 6 to day 9) attenuates hepatic steatosis in cholesterol/bile salt- and high-fat diet-induced hypercholesterolemia in mice[4].

Animal Model: Cholesterol/bile salt-induced hypercholesterolemic mice[4]
Dosage: 0.03-0.3 g/kg
Administration: i.g., daily from day 6 to day 9
Result: Dose-dependently decreased the hepatic total cholesterol (20-35%) and triglyceride (13–37%) levels in hypercholesterolemic mice.
Animal Model: Male Sprague Dawley rats (body weight 200-250 g)[3]
Dosage: 12 mg/kg

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: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.99 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    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

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.
