Cat. No.: HY-N0283 Purity: 98.78%
SDS COA Handling Instructions

Diacerein (Diacerhein), an orally active anthraquinone, reduces production of IL-1 converting enzyme then inhibits the activation of IL-1β by related downstream signaling. Diacerein is an anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic drug. Diacerein can relieve bronchospasm and control airway inflammation in asthmatic mice. Diacerein has the potential for slow acting drug in osteoarthritis (SYSADOA) research.

In Vitro

Diacerein (Diacerhein; 30-300 μM; 24, 48 h) reduces cell proliferation and viability of chondrosarcoma cells[1].
Diacerine (30-300 μM; 48 h) causes a SW-1353 cell cycle G2/M arrest[1].
Diacerein (30-300 μM; 48 h) decreases cyclin B1, CDK1, and CDK2 levels in SW-1353 cell[1].
Diacerein can relax the agonist-precontracted mouse airway smooth muscle via intracellular and extracellular calcium mobilization which is mediated by switched voltage-dependent L-type Ca2+ channels, non-selective cation channels, large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel, and Na+/Ca2+ exchangers[2].

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: Cal-78 and SW-1353 cells
Concentration: 30, 100, and 300 μM
Incubation Time: 24, 48 h
Result: Inhibited cell growth in a concentration dependent manner in both cell lines.

Cell Cycle Analysis[1]

Cell Line: Cal-78 and SW-1353 cells
Concentration: 30, 100, and 300 μM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Caused a pronounced decrease in the number of cells in the G1 phase, accompanied by a significant increase of the number of S and G2/M phase cells, indicating a G2/M arrest in SW-1353 cells.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: Cal-78 and SW-1353 cells
Concentration: 30, 100, and 300 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Induced a small, but not significant change, for the expression of CDK1, whereas the cyclin B1 and CDK2 levels were significantly down-regulated in the case of Cal-78 cells.
In Vivo

Diacerein (Diacerhein; 50, 100, 200 mg/kg; Gavaged; daily; a week) can effectively reduce airway hypertension and improve airway remodeling in asthmatic mice with Ovalbumin (OVA; 3 mg/ml; 200 μl; IP; dissolved with 25 mg/ml Al(OH)3 at day 1, day 8)[2].
Diacerein (2, 20, 60 mg/kg; daily; oral; at 2 weeks of age transgenic mice; for 5 weeks) reveales a significant reduction not only in cartilage destruction but also in the extent of synovitis and bone erosion in the Tg197 transgenic murine model of RA[3].

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.
