Cinene

Synonyms: Limonene, Dipentene, Cyclohexene, Eulimen|

Cinene (Limonene, Dipentene) is a clear, colorless liquid hydrocarbon classified as a cyclic monoterpene, and is the major component in oil of citrus fruit peels. It is usually used to make fragrances and flavors.This product is a hazardous chemical (acute toxicity/flammable/skin corrosive). Please use it while wearing a protective face mask, gloves, and clothing.

Description Cinene (Limonene, Dipentene) is a clear, colorless liquid hydrocarbon classified as a cyclic monoterpene, and is the major component in oil of citrus fruit peels. It is usually used to make fragrances and flavors.This product is a hazardous chemical (acute toxicity/flammable/skin corrosive).

In vitro
In vitro Cinene (Limonene, Dipentene) treatment significantly elevates collagen synthesis, alkaline phosphatase activity, osteocalcin synthesis, and mineralization in osteoblastic cells. Limonene decreases interleukin (IL)-1 β-induced NF-κB, JNK and p38 activation and the expression of inflammatory (iNOS) and catabolic (MMP-1 and MMP-13) genes, while increasing the activation of anti-catabolic genes (TIMP-1) and ERK1/2 relative to IL-1β-treated cells in a cellular model of osteoarthritis. Limonene effectively protectes human lymphatic endothelial cells from H2O2-induced oxidative stress, and that its antioxidant effect is significant, increasing cell survival rate[1]. Limonene could inhibit LPS-induced production of nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, and proinflammatory cytokines in RAW264.7 macrophages[2].
Cell Research Cell lines MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells
Concentrations 0.01-1 μM
Incubation Time 3 days
Method

MC3T3-E1 cells are cultured at 37°C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere in α-MEM. The media contained 10% heat-inactivated FBS, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 mg/ml streptomycin. The cells are treated at confluence with culture media containing 5 mM β-glycerophosphate and 50 μg/ml ascorbic acid to initiate differentiation. After 3 days (for collagen content and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity) or 14 days (for osteocalcin and calcium deposition assay), the cells are incubated with limonene for 3 days.

In Vivo
In vivo In a mouse model of acute lung injury, limonene pretreatment at doses of 25, 50, and 75 mg/kg decreases LPS-induced evident lung histopathological changes, lung wet-to-dry weight ratio, and lung myeloperoxidase activity. In addition, pretreatment with limonene inhibits in flammatory cells and proin flammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and interleukin-6 in BALF (bronchoalveolar lavage fluid). Limonene blocks the phosphorylation of IκBα, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase in LPS-induced acute lung injury. It improves the pulmonary functions[2].

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.
