  3. Drupanin

Drupanin is an orally active selective AKR1C3 enzyme inhibitor and an RXRα agonist with an EC50 value of 4.8 μM, which is isolated from green propolis. Drupanin also activates PPARγ moderately. Drupanin induces adipogenesis and elevates aP2 mRNA levels in 3T3-L1 fibroblasts Drupanin has the potential for the research of breast and prostate cancers.

Description

Drupanin is an orally active selective AKR1C3 enzyme inhibitor and an RXRα agonist with an EC50 value of 4.8 μM, which is isolated from green propolis. Drupanin also activates PPARγ moderately. Drupanin induces adipogenesis and elevates aP2 mRNA levels in 3T3-L1 fibroblasts Drupanin has the potential for the research of breast and prostate cancers[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Drupanin (2.5-25 μM, 1 h) stimulates the interaction between PPARγ and cAMP responsive element-binding protein-binding protein in HEK 293 cells (EC50 value: 14.6 μM)[2].
Drupanin (25 μM, 5 days) enhances the adipogenesis of mouse 3T3-L1 fibroblasts[2].
Drupanin (101.7-103.5 μM, 48 h) shows cytotoxic effects on PC3 and LnCaP cells[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.
