Eugenol

Synonyms: 4-Allyl-2-methoxyphenol, 4-Allylguaiacol, Eugenic acid, Allylguaiacol

Eugenol (4-Allyl-2-methoxyphenol, 4-Allylguaiacol, Eugenic acid, Allylguaiacol) is a naturally occuring scent chemical found in clove oil and other plants. The physiologic effect of eugenol is by means of increased Histamine Release, and cell-mediated Immunity.

Biological Activity

Description Eugenol (4-Allyl-2-methoxyphenol, 4-Allylguaiacol, Eugenic acid, Allylguaiacol) is a naturally occuring scent chemical found in clove oil and other plants. The physiologic effect of eugenol is by means of increased Histamine Release, and cell-mediated Immunity.
In vitro
In vitro Eugenol has antiproliferative effects in diverse cancer cell lines as well as in B16 melanoma xenograft model. Eugenol induces apoptosis in various cancer cells, including mast cells, melanoma cells and HL-60 leukemia cells. Eugenol at low dose (2 μM) has specific toxicity against different breast cancer cells. This killing effect is mediated mainly through inducing the internal apoptotic pathway and strong down-regulation of E2F1 and its downstream antiapoptosis target survivin, independently of the status of p53 and ERα. Eugenol inhibits also several other breast cancer related oncogenes, such as NF-κB and cyclin D1. Moreover, eugenol up-regulates the versatile cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21WAF1 protein, and inhibits the proliferation of breast cancer cells in a p53-independent manner[2].
Cell Research Cell lines Breast cancer cells(MDA-MB-231, MCF7 and T47-D) and the non-tumorigenic MCF 10A cell line
Concentrations 1, 2, 4, 10 μM
Incubation Time 24 h
Method Cells are seeded into 96-well plates and incubated overnight. The medium is replaced with fresh one containing the desired concentrations of eugenol. After 20 hrs, 10 μl of the WST-1 reagent is added to each well and the plates are incubated for 4 hrs at 37°C. The amount of formazan is quantified using ELISA reader at 450 nm of absorbance.
In Vivo
In vivo Eugenol inhibits the proliferation of breast cancer cells in vivo as well. The inhibitory effect of eugenol on onco-proteins is also observed in vivo in tumor xenografts[2]. Eugenol (0.2, 1.0, 5.0 or 25 mg/kg) when given orally at three different times in relation to the time of CCl4 dosing (i.p administration of 0.4 mg/kg), i.e. prior to (-1 hr), along with (0 hr) or after (+ 3 hrs), prevents significantly the rise in SGOT(Serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase) activity, lipid peroxidation as well as liver necrosis. The protective effect is more evident at 1 mg and 5 mg eugenol doses than at 0.2 and 25 mg does. However, the decrease in microsomal G-6-pase activity by CCl4 treatment is not prevented by eugenol suggesting that the damage to endoplasmic reticulum is not protected[3].

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.
