Biological Activity

Description Carvacrol (Cymophenol), monoterpenic phenol isomeric with thymol, has diverse activities such as antimicrobial, antitumor, an-timutagenic, antigenotoxic, analgesic, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, angiogenic, antiparasitic, antiplatelet, AChE inhibitory, antielastase, insecticidal, antihepatotoxic and hepatoprotective activities.
In vitro
In vitro Carvacrol (CVC) possesses weak antioxidant and cytotoxic activity in cultured primary rat neurons. In addition, Carvacrol has weak antioxidant properties and little anticancer potentials in rat N2a neuroblastoma cell line[1]. Carvacrol is a novel inhibitor of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in drosophila and mammalian. In human hepatoma HepG2 cells, Carvacrol induces cell apoptosis by selectively decreasing phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and P38; In human macrophage-like U937 cells, in response to lipopolysaccharide treatment, Carvacrol activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR alpha and gamma) and suppresses cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) mRNA and protein expression[2].
Cell Research Cell lines cultured primary rat neurons and N2a neuroblastoma cells
Concentrations 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 mg/L
Incubation Time 24 h
Method The cells are seeded in 48-well plates. Cells are incubated at 37 °C in a humidified 5 % CO2/95 % air mixture and treated with carvacrol at different concentrations (10, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 mg/L) for 24 h. MTT substrate solution is used. Briefly, MTT is added to the cell cultures for 3 h. Formed formazan crystals are dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), MTT is added to the cell cultures for 3 h. Formed formazan crystals are dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
In Vivo
In vivo Carvacrol has the ability to protect liver against ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats. In the central nervous system, Carvacrol is regarded as a potential drug for Alzheimer's disease due to its inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity by using phenolic hydroxyl group of carvacrol to bind to AChE and leading to a loss of function of AChE. In addition, Carvacrol is found to have an antidepressant-like effect in mice by affecting the dopaminergic system. Dietary carvacrol supplementation prevents high fat diet-induced obesity by modulating gene expressions that lead to adipogenesis and inflammation. Carvacrol crosses the blood-brain barrier easily and rapidly[2].

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.
