In vitro study | Escuetin reduces cell proliferation by inducing cell cycle G1 arrest, which is associated with down-regulation of cyclin D1/CDK4 and cyclin E/CDK2 complexes. Esculetin significantly inhibited the proliferation of HCC cells in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 2.24 mM. In SMMC-7721 cells, it arrested the cell cycle in S phase, increased the activity of caspase-3 and caspase-9 and induced apoptosis, but had no effect on the activity of caspase-8. In both in vivo and in vitro experiments, escuetin causes a collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential, accompanied by an increase in Bax expression and a decrease in Bcl-2 expression. Esculetin has anti-proliferative activity in hepatocellular carcinoma in vitro and in vivo, and its mechanism of action is related to the mitochondrial-mediated caspase-dependent apoptosis pathway. |
In vivo study | Esculetin significantly reduced tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice (Hepa1-6 cells). Tumor weight was reduced by 20.33, 40.37, and 55.42 percent with the dose of escuetin, without apparent toxic side effects. In an experimental rat model of trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid-induced inflammatory bowel disease, esculetin at 5 mg/kg had intestinal anti-inflammatory activity. |

biological activity | Esculetin (Cichorigenin, Aesculetin) is a coumarin derivative found in many natural plant products. it has biological and pharmacological properties of anti-edema, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor, and can inhibit lipoxygenase. |
Target | Value |
use | this product is an intermediate of the drug pingchuanning. 6, 7-dihydroxycoumarin is methylated with dimethyl sulfate to obtain Pingchuanning (dimethoxycoumarin). This is an antiasthmatic medicine with obvious antiasthmatic effect and expectorant and antitussive effects. Ecupietin itself is an antibacterial drug, which has an inhibitory effect on Shigella. It can be used to treat acute bacillary dysentery, and has anti-asthma and expectorant effects. It can also be used to treat chronic bronchitis. Used as a pharmaceutical intermediate |
