Biological Activity

Description	Rhein (Monorhein, NSC 38629, Rheinic) is an anthraquinone compound enriched in the fresh rhizome of Rheum coreanum Nakai, showing anti-inflammation and antitumor activities. Rhein is an FTO (mRNA N⁶-methyladenine demethylase) inhibitor and also inhibits AlkB repair enzymes.

In vitro
In vitro	Rhein at 35 μM can effectively inhibit the synthesis of IL-1β on human osteoarthritis synovium, as well as the action of this cytokine at the cartilage level, by reducing the number of chondrocyte IL-1R and inhibiting IL-1β induced NO production in chondrocytes and cartilage. ^[1] ^[2] Rhein also induces apoptosis in human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60), characterized by caspase activation, poly(ADP)ribose polymerase (PARP) cleavage, and DNA fragmentation. ^[3]

In Vivo
In vivo	Rhein is also effective in ameliorating diabetic renal pathological changes and attenuating hyperlipidemia in db/db mice with diabetic nephropathy with decreased transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and fibronectin immunohistochemistry expression in renal tissue and reduced cholesterol (Chol), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and ApoE in plasma. ^[4]

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH₂O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
