Genipin is a specific UCP2 (uncoupling protein 2) inhibitor extracted from the Gardenia jasminoides Ellis[1]. Genipin has been widely used for drug delivery due to its excellent biocompatibility, admirable biodegradability, and stable cross-linking attributes[2]. Genipin has also been used as a fingerprint collection reagent and a cross-linker for the preparation of immobilized enzymes[3][4].
Genipin (10mM, 2h) treatment led to the activation of IRS-1, PI3-K, and downstream signaling in mouse skeletal muscle cells (C2C12 myoblasts)[5]. Genipin (200μM, 24h) induces apoptosis in FaO rat hepatoma cells and human hepatocarcinoma Hep3B cells[6].
Genipin (25, 50, 100 and 200mg/kg; i.p.) markedly decreased hemorrhagic necrosis, portal inflammation and the mortality in hepatic apoptosis and liver failure mouse model[7]. Genipin (50mg/kg, 7 days, p.o.) exerts protective effects on ethanol-induced acute gastric injury in mice by inhibiting the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Mouse skeletal muscle C2C12 cells |
Preparation Method | C2C12 cells were treated with 10 μM Genipin for 0.5h and 2h. The cell lysates were extracted with lysis buffer (RIPA, 1×PBS, 1% Nonidet P-40, 5mM EDTA, 0.1% SDS, 1mM sodium orthovanadate, 1% PMSF, complete protease inhibitor cocktail, and complete phosphatase inhibitors). The whole-cell lysates were centrifuged at 12000g at 4°C for 20min to remove the insoluble materials. For immunoprecipitation, supernatants were incubated with IRS-1 antibody at 4°C for 16h followed by incubation with protein A-agarose beads for 2h. The beads were washed in lysis buffer three times, boiled with Laemmli sample buffer for 5min, and then loaded onto SDS-PAGE. |
Reaction Conditions | 10mM; 0.5h, 2h |
Applications | Genipin treatment led to the activation of IRS-1 in mouse skeletal muscle C2C12 cells. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Hepatic apoptosis and liver failure mouse model |
Preparation Method | Male ICR mice (20-22g) were fasted overnight but given access to water ad libitum. In the Genipin-treated group, mice were administered Genipin (suspended in 10% Tween 80-saline) at 25, 50, 100 and 200mg/kg intraperitoneally 1h before the d-galactosamine (GalN)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment, while other groups received an equivalent volume of vehicle as the control. All animals (except for the normal control) were injected intraperitoneally with GalN (700mg/kg) and LPS (10μg/kg Escherichia coli 026:B6) dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline. |
Dosage form | 25, 50, 100 and 200mg/kg; i.p. |
Applications | Genipin markedly decreased hemorrhagic necrosis, portal inflammation and the mortality in hepatic apoptosis and liver failure mouse model. |
