Biological target:
Ligustroflavone, extracted from Ligustrum lucidum, is a potential candidate as calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) antagonist.
In vitro activity:
Moreover, immunohistochemical, immunofluorescent and Western blot results showed that LF reduced the expressions of hepatic stellate cells specific marker proteins, including collagen I and α-SMA in vivo and in vitro. In addition, LF markedly suppressed TGF-β1-upregulated protein expressions of TβR I, TβR II, P-Smad2, P-Smad3 and Smad4 in LX-2 cells.

In vivo activity:
A rat model of ischemic stroke was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), which showed ischemic injury (increase in neurological deficit score and infarct volume) and upregulation of necroptosis-associated proteins (RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL/p-MLKL). Administration of ligustroflavone (30 mg/kg, i.g.) 15 min before ischemia evidently improved neurological function, reduced infarct volume, and decreased the levels of necroptosis-associated proteins except the RIPK1.

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
