Description:

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

Eupatorin is a flavonoid that inhibits the growth of HeLa, MK-1, and B16/F10 tumor cells. Eupatorin is active against T. cruzi epimastigotes and trypomastigotes without inducing cytotoxicity in Vero cells. It induces vasorelaxation in isolated rat thoracic aortic rings precontracted with phenylephrine (pD2 = 6.66). Eupatorin reduces nuclear translocation of NF-κB and STAT1α in J774 murine macrophages and reduces paw edema in a mouse model of carrageenan-induced paw inflammation..

Biological target:
Eupatorin arrests cells at the G2-M phase of the cell cycle and induces apoptotic cell death involving activation of multiple caspases, mitochondrial release of cytochrome c and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage.
In vitro activity:
As shown in Fig. 3B, eupatorin (5 μg/mL) significantly (p < 0.05) decreased cell motility and migration of cancer cells where the complete closure of the scratched area was inhibited by 50.14% at 24 h. In addition, Transwell Boyden chamber assay showed that eupatorin prevented MDA-MB-231 cells from migrating aggressively through the filter (Fig. 3C,D). Only 38 ± 3% of MDA-MB-231 cells migrated through the membrane compared to the untreated group (Fig. 3E). In addition, Fig. 3F,G show that eupatorin significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the level of cell invasion through the Matrigel-coated membrane. Only 37 ± 3% of MDA-MB-231 cells had invaded the Matrigel-coated membrane in the Boyden chamber assay (Fig. 3H) at 24 h. Taken together, these results suggest that eupatorin has strong inhibitory effects on the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells.

In vivo activity:
The 4T1-induced mice treated with the high dosage of eupatorin at 20 mg/kg BW had the smallest tumor compared with the mice in the untreated group and low-dosage group. In addition, the group of mice fed with 5 mg/kg BW eupatorin did not show any significant reduction in the tumor weight (TW; 1.102 ± 0.033 g), while tumor mice treated with 20 g/kg BW had significantly lower (P < .05) TW (0.839 ± 0.104 g) as compared with the untreated, which demonstrated the TW of 1.110 ± 0.067 g (Figure 3A). This suggested that eupatorin at the dosage of 20 mg/kg BW is sufficient to reduce the tumor size in mice.
