Description:

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

Paeonol is a phenolic compound found in peonies such as Paeonia suffruticosa, in Arisaema erubescens, and in Dioscorea japonica. It is a component found in some Traditional Chinese medicine remedies. Paeonol attenuates isoflurane anaesthesia induced hippocampal neurotoxicity via modulation of JNK/ERK/P38MAPK pathway and regulates histone acetylation.

Product Data
Biological target:
Paeonol inhibits MAO-A and MAO-B with IC50 of 54.6 μM and 42.5 Μm.
In vitro activity:
Paeonol significantly inhibited histamine release from the rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMCs) treated with compound 48/80, a mast cell degranulator. Paeonol significantly inhibited IgE production in B cells activated by anti-CD40 mAb, recombinant interleukin-4 (rIL-4) and recombinant histamine releasing factor (rHRF). Paeonol effectively downregulated the expression of IL-4 in the activated B cells by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Reference: Int Immunopharmacol. 2004 Feb;4(2):279-87. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14996419/
In vivo activity:
To further investigate the potential cardioprotective action of paeonol on no-reflow, healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham, ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury (left anterior descending coronary artery was ligated for 4 h followed by reperfusion for 8 h), and I/R injury pretreated with paeonol at two different doses. Data indicated that paeonol treatment significantly reduces myocardial infarct area and no-reflow area (n = 8; p < 0.05). Regional myocardial perfusion (A·β) and cardiac functions such as ejection fraction, stroke volume, and fractional shortening were elevated by paeonol (n = 8; p < 0.05). Paeonol also lowered the serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, cardiac troponin T, and C-reactive protein, as indices of myocardial injury. Paeonol exerts beneficial effects on attenuating I/R-associated no-reflow injuries, and may be considered as a potential preventive treatment for cardiac diseases or post-coronary revascularization in which no-reflow often occurs.
