Biological Activity

Description L-Theanine is a relaxing and nondietary amino acid found pretty much exclusively in teas from Camellia sinensis and is known to promote relaxation without sedation.
In vitro
In vitro L-theanine promotes NO production in endothelial cells. L-Theanine mediated eNOS phosphorylation and NO production are PI3K/ERK pathway dependant. Treatment of EA.hy926 cells with L-theanine dose-dependently increases eNOS Ser1177 phosporylation. This increase occurrs at 2-5 min of L-theanine treatment and coincides with NO production. L-theanine confers neuroprotective effects by increasing the expression levels of PLC-beta1 and gamma1, and thereby minimizes apoptosis in the neural cells[2].
Cell Research Cell lines EA.hy926 cells
Concentrations 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 μM
Incubation Time 30 min
Method EA.hy926 cells are treated with varying concentration of L-theanine (0.01 μM, 0.1 μM, 1.0 μM, 10 μM) for 30 min and after 24 h of incubation cell viability was determined using CMFDA as described elsewhere.
In Vivo
In vivo L-theanine can enhance innate immune function by regulating the secretion of immune cytokines. Its administration increases the splenic organ index and decreases the contents of ILs-4/6/10 and the ratio of IL-4/IFN-γ in the serum. High-dose L-theanine administration increases the levels of dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine in the pituitary and hippocampus, resulting in decrease in corticosterone level in the serum. L-theanine administration decreases the mRNA expressions of PLC isomers in the liver and PLC-γ1 and PLC-δ1 in the spleen. mRNA expressions of PLC-βf1 in the spleen and PLC isomers mRNA in the heart are up-regulated by L-theanine administration. After being absorbed into the body, L-theanine can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and regulate the secretion of neurotransmitters of central nervous system cells and levels of hormones such as corticosterone (CORT) and adrenaline (EPI) in the serum. L-theanine can increase levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and noradrenaline, and decrease levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone and CORT in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of rats[1]. L-theanine has been implicated in reduction of blood pressure in hypertensive rats[2]. L-theanine could inhibit the glucose uptake by downregulating the related gene expression in the small intestine of rats. Intestinal gene expression of transporters responding to amino acids absorption was stimulated by L-theanine administration[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.
