Gamma-Oryzanol DNA Methyltransferase inhibitor

Cat.No.S3957

Gamma-oryzanol (GO), a nutriactive phytochemical naturally occurring in crude rice bran oil, is an antioxidant compound used to treat hyperlipidemia, disorders of menopause and to increase the muscle mass. γ-Oryzanol is a potent DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) inhibitor in the striatum of mice. γ-Oryzanol significantly inhibits the activities of DNMT1 (IC50=3.2 μM), DNMT3a (IC50=22.3 μM).

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.

Mechanism of Action

In vitro
From the proliferation assay using MTT reagent, the effect of gamma-oryzanol on DU145 and PC3 are slightly different with an IC50 after 7 days of exposure at 0.52±0.06 and 0.40±0.08 mg/ml, respectively. For in vitro condition in proliferation assay, IC50 values seem to be high in the scale of mg/ml. gamma-oryzanol may affect to prostate cancer cells through the down regulation of some antioxidant genes, CAT and GPX[1].
In vivo
In tumor-bearing mice, gamma-oryzanol can reduce tumor mass associated with pro-angiogenic biomarkers[1]. Gamma-oryzanol is not carcinogenic and are safe for animals. In vivo trials proved gamma-oryzanol to be powerful antioxidant and also appears to be a very promising anticancerogenic compound. Supplementation of gamma-oryzanol in diabetic patients may improve metabolic dysfunctions such as hyperglycaemia, hypercholesterolaemia, hypertriglyceridaemia, insulin resistance and may alleviate diabetic complications resulting from lipid peroxidation and free radicals[3].
