Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Quebrachitol is a naturally occurring optically active cyclitol, a cyclic polyol. It can be found in Allophylus edulis and in the serum left after the coagulation of the Hevea brasiliensis latex in the operation of rubber tapping. It is also found in Cannabis sativa, in Paullinia pinnata and in seabuckthorn. Quebrachitol is a versatile building block in the construction of naturally occurring bioactive materials. For example, its conversion into antifungal (E)-β-methoxyacrylate, oudemansin X has been made.

Biological target:

Quebrachitol promotes osteoblastogenesis by uppregulation of BMP-2, runt-related transcription factor-2 (Runx2), MAPK (ERK, JNK, p38α), and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

In vitro activity:

Findings from this study indicate that quebrachitol may promote osteoblastogenesis by triggering the BMP-2-response as well as the Runx2, MAPK, and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Quebrachitol significantly promotes proliferation and cell DNA synthesis. It also enhances mineralization accompanied by increases in mRNA expression of bone matrix proteins. Quebrachitol upregulates the mRNA and protein expression of bone morphogenetic protein-2 and runt-related transcription factor-2, while down-regulating the receptor activator of the nuclear factor-κB ligand mRNA level. The expression of regulatory genes associated with the mitogen-activated protein kinase and wingless-type MMTV integration site/β-catenin signaling pathways are also upregulated.

In vivo activity:

Quebrachitol was investigated against gastric damage induced by absolute ethanol and indomethacin, in mice. Quebrachitol at oral doses of 12.5, 25, and 50mg/kg markedly attenuated the gastric lesions induced by ethanol to the extent of 69%, 64%, and 53% and against indomethacin by 55%, 59%, and 26%, respectively. Quebrachitol’s effect was significantly reduced in mice pretreated with L-NAME, the respective inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase, and K(+)(ATP) channel activation. Quebrachitol reduces the gastric damage induced by ethanol and indomethacin by mechanisms that involve endogenous prostaglandins, nitric oxide release, and or the activation of K(+)(ATP) channels.
