  3. (±)-Naringenin

(±)-Naringenin is an orally available anti-inflammatory agent that can regulate both acute and chronic inflammation responses, while also showing antioxidant, neuroprotective, liver-protective, and anti-cancer effects. (±)-Naringenin promotes vasodilation in endothelial cells by activating BKCa channels in muscle cells. It also exerts protective effects against experimental colitis by inhibiting Toll-like receptor 4/NF-κB signaling, making it useful in studies related to sepsis, fulminant hepatitis, fibrosis, and cancer research.

In Vitro

(±)-Naringenin induces concentration-dependent relaxation in endothelium-denuded aortic rings from rats pre-contracted with 20 mM KCl or norepinephrine, with pIC50 values of 4.74 and 4.68 respectively[1].
(±)-Naringenin increases large conductance calcium-activated potassium (BKCa) current in rat tail artery smooth muscle cells in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
(±)-Naringenin (1-25 μmol/L, 2 h) significantly inhibits TNF-α induced NF-κB luciferase expression in HT29 cells[2].
(±)-Naringenin (25 μmol/L, 2 h) blocks LPS-induced NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation in mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells[2].
(±)-Naringenin induces apoptosis through both intrinsic (mitochondrial) and extrinsic pathways, upregulating pro-apoptotic genes such as P18, P21, p38, and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), which stimulates mitochondrial cytochrome c release and forms apoptosomes including pro-caspase-9 and apoptosis protease-activating factor 1 (Apaf-1), thereby enhancing caspase-9 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: ≥ 3 mg/mL (11.02 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (30.0 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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 3 mg/mL (11.02 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (30.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

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.
