Biological Activity

Description Amentoflavone (Didemethyl Ginkgetin) is a biflavonoid originally isolated from Selaginella with antibacterial, antioxidant, antiviral, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective activities.
In vitro
In vitro Amentoflavone induces morphological changes and reduces the percentage of viable MCF-7 cells. Amentoflavone induces apoptosis and chromatin condensation, DNA strand breaks in MCF-7 cells. Amentoflavone is also reported to induce cell-cycle arrest at the sub-G1 phase, and apoptosis via mitochondria-emanated intrinsic pathways in SiHa and CaSki human cervical cancer cells[1].
Cell Research Cell lines MCF-7 cells
Concentrations 250 μM
Incubation Time 6-72 h
Method Approximately 2×105 MCF-7 cells/well in 24-well plates are treated with 250 μM amentoflavone, or with vehicle (DMSO, 0.1% in culture media)-only and all cells are incubated for 6 to 72 h. For the examination of morphological changes, cells are photographed under a phase-contrast microscope.
In Vivo
In vivo In an animal model, amentoflavone is found to significantly inhibit B16F-10 melanoma-induced solid tumor development in C57BL/6 mice[1]. Amentoflavone can cross the blood-brain barrier. It effectively prevents pilocarpine-induced epilepsy in a mouse kindling model, suppresses NF-kB activation and expression, inhibits excessive discharge of hippocampal neurons resulting in a reduction in epileptic seizures, shortened attack time, and diminished loss and apoptosis of hippocampal neurons[2].
Animal Research Animal Models Kunming mice
Dosages 25 mg/kg
Administration intragastrically administered

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.
