Product Data
Biological target:
Dihydromethysticin is one of the six major kavalactones found in the kava plant; has marked activity on the induction of CYP3A23.
In vitro activity:
MG-63 cells were treated with different concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, 25, 75 and 100 µM) of dihydromethysticin for 12, 24, and 48 hours and cell viability was evaluated using an MTT assay. Figure 1 shows the dose-dependent as well as time dependent growth inhibitory effects of dihydromethysticin on the cell viability of MG-63 osteosarcoma cells. Reference: Int J Clin Exp Pathol. 2015 May 1;8(5):4356-66. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26191127/
In vivo activity:
As shown in Fig. 1A, the orally dosed DHM (dihydromethysticin) demonstrated a clear dose-response relationship in blocking NNK-induced lung tumorigenesis in A/J mice. Specifically DHM at a dose of 2.0 mg/mouse decreased NNK-induced adenoma multiplicity by 98.9%. DHM at 0.8 mg/mouse reduced adenoma multiplicity by 93.3%. Even at 0.4 and 0.2 mg per dose, DHM demonstrated significant effects in reducing adenoma formation (49.8% and 42.0% reduction respectively).
