Description:

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

Marrubiin is a labdane diterpenoid lactone originally isolated from M. vulgare that has diverse biological activities. It inhibits potassium chloride-induced contractions of rat aortic rings (IC50 = 24 µM). Marrubiin (100 mg/kg) inhibits ovalbumin-induced allergic ear edema in mice. It inhibits acetic acid-induced writhing and capsaicin-induced paw licking in mice with ID50 values of 2.2 and 28.8 µmol/kg, respectively.

Product Data
Biological target:
Marrubiin, isolated from Marrubium vulgare, exhibits vasorelaxant and antioedematogenic activity.
In vitro activity:
The stimulatory index of INS-1 cells cultured under hyperglycemic conditions was significantly increased in cells exposed to the organic extract and marrubiin, relative to the hyperglycaemic conditions. Insulin and glucose transporter-2 gene expressions were significantly increased by the organic extract and marrubiin. Reference: Phytomedicine. 2012 Apr 15;19(6):488-93. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22326550/
In vivo activity:
This paper describes the antioedematogenic profile of marrubiin (1), the main constituent of Marrubium vulgare, a medicinal plant used in folk medicine of several countries to treat different pathologies. Compound (1) was analyzed in a model of microvascular leakage in mice ears. The results show that it exhibits significant and dose-related antioedematogenic effects. In addition, (1) (100 mg/kg) significantly inhibited the OVO-induced allergic edema in actively sensitized animals (maximal inhibition 67.6+/-4%). These results demonstrate that the systemic administration of marrubiin exerts a non-specific inhibitory effect on pro-inflammatory agent-induced microvascular extravasation of Evans blue in mouse ear.
