Biological Activity

Description Perillyl alcohol (Perilla alcohol, Isocarveol) is a monoterpene isolated from the essential oils of lavendin, peppermint, spearmint, cherries, celery seeds, and several other plants.
In vitro
In vitro In vitro, perillyl alcohol induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, inhibits the isoprenylation of small G proteins (21–26 kDa) involved in signal transduction and affects differential gene regulation[1]. Perillyl alcohol (POH) inhibits cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner in all cell lines tested (KPL-1, MCF-7, MKL-F and MDA-MB-231). POH at a dose of 500μM has a cytostatic effect, in which growth inhibition is due to accumulation of cells in G1-phase. Cell cycle progression is preceded by a decrease in G1 cyclins (cyclin D1 and E), followed by an increase in p21Cip1/Waf1 and a decrease in proliferating cell nuclear antigen level[2].
Cell Research Cell lines BroTo and A549 cells
Concentrations 0-3 mM
Incubation Time 12 or 24 hr
Method The toxicity of the compounds on treated cells is assessed using colony formation assay. Cells (200 cells/well) are plated overnight in 6-well plates. The culture medium is replaced with medium containing varying concentrations of perillyl alcohol (POH) or perillaldehyde (PALD) and the cells are exposed to the agents for 12 or 24 hr. Following the exposure, treatment medium is removed and the cells washed twice with sterile PBS and once with the appropriate medium. Fresh medium is then added to each well and the cells incubated for 12–14 days at 37 ℃. Plates are viewed under the microscope every other day. At termination, the culture medium is decanted and the cells rinsed with PBS. The cells are then fixed and stained with crystal violet (0.5% in 95% ethanol) for 5 min and the dye gently rinsed off. Colonies, containing at least 50 cells, are counted.
In Vivo
In vivo Perillyl alcohol (POH) at a dose of 75mg/kg administered intraperitoneally three times a week throughout the entire 6-week experimental period suppresses orthotopically transplanted KPL-1 tumor cell growth and regional lymph node metastasis in a nude mouse system. POH inhibits both ER-positive and -negative human breast cancer cell growth in vitro, and suppressed growth and metastasis in vivo[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.
