Description:

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

Erianin is a benzoyl compound that has been found in D. chrysotoxum and has diverse biological activities. It inhibits the growth of H460 and H1299 lung cancer cells in a calcium/calmodulin-dependent manner, an effect that can be reversed by the ferroptosis inhibitor liproxstatin-1 or ferrostatin-1. Erianin reduces tumor volume in an H460 mouse xenograft model. It increases colon length and body weight, as well as decreases colonic inflammation and the number of colonic ulcers in a mouse model of ulcerative colitis induced by dextran sulfate. Erianin decreases retinal microglia accumulation, NF-kB signaling, and TNF-α mRNA expression, as well as attenuates blood-brain barrier breakdown in a mouse model of diabetic retinopathy induced by streptozotocin.

Product Data
Biological target:
Erianin, often used as an antipyretic and analgesic agent, could inhibit IDO-induced tumor angiogenesis.
In vitro activity:
To address the function of erianin on MDA-MB-231 and EFM-192A cells growth, MTT assay and DAPI staining were performed. MDA-MB-231 and EFM-192A cells’ proliferation was inhibited with erianin treatment in a dose-dependent way as shown in MTT analysis, with IC50 at 70.96 and 78.58 nM effective inhibition concentration at nanomolar level (Figure 1A). In addition, typical apoptotic morphology (chromatin condensation and fracture) was detected in MDA-MB-231 cells nucleus treated with 40, 80, or 160 nM erianin for 24 h in DAPI staining, indicating erianin may induce MDA-MB-231 cells apoptosis in a dose-dependent way (Figure 1B).

In vivo activity:
Second, in a mouse xenograft model of lewis lung cancer (LLC), oral administration of erianin (50, 35, and 10 mg kg-1 day-1 for 12 days) substantially inhibited nodule growth, reduced the fluorescence counts of lewis cells and the percentage vascularity of tumor tissues, increased the number of apoptotic tumor cells, the thymus indices, up-regulated the levels of interleukin (IL)-2 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), decreased IL-10 levels and the spleen index, and enhanced immune function.
