Nigerose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose units linked by an α-1,3 glycosidic bond. Nigerose possesses immunoenhancing activity, acts as a prebiotic to promote the growth of beneficial intestinal flora, and may exert antioxidant effects by activating the Nrf2 pathway. Nigerose can be used in research related to functional foods, prebiotic development, enzymology studies, nanodrug delivery, and immunomodulation[1-4].
In vitro, Caco-2/HepG2 co-cultured cells were treated with Nigerose (14mM) for 24 hours. Nigerose significantly increased resazurin conversion in Caco-2 cells. When co-exposed with a 0.5mM palmitic/oleic fatty acid mixture, Nigerose showed a small but non-significant effect on fat accumulation[5]. HL-60 cells were treated with Nigerose (300μM) for 1 or 24 hours. Nigerose increased cellular glutathione reductase activity, decreased lactate dehydrogenase activity and lipid oxidation, and alleviated protein carbonylation or oxidation[6].
In vivo, C57BL/6 mice were treated with Nigerose (2.57% diet or 0.18% drinking water) together with nigerosyl glucose and nigerosyl maltose for 14 days. Nigerose significantly enhanced L. plantarum L-137-induced IL-12 production and IL-2-stimulated IFN-γ production, and improved the resistance of mice to 5-fluorouracil-induced endogenous infection[7]. BDF1 mice were treated with Nigerose (0.08mg; intraperitoneal injection) together with nigerosyl glucose and nigerosyl maltose for 17 hours, or C57BL/6 mice were treated with Nigerose (0.20% drinking water orally) together with nigerosyl glucose and nigerosyl maltose for 7 days. Nigerose significantly inhibited EL-4 tumor growth in the liver[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Caco-2 (human intestinal colorectal adenocarcinoma cells) and HepG2 (hepatoma G2 liver cells) coculture model |
Preparation Method | Caco-2 cells were seeded in 24-well transwell inserts and differentiated for at least 3 weeks. HepG2 cells were seeded at a density of 5×10⁴ cells per well in collagen-coated 24-well plates. Cells were cocultured for 24h followed by a 24h exposure. Caco-2 and HepG2 cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS, 1% non-essential amino acids and 1% penicillin/streptomycin at 37°C and 10% CO₂. |
Reaction Conditions | 14mM; 24h |
Applications | Nigerose significantly increased resazurin conversion in Caco-2 cells. In the coculture model with dietary fatty acids, there was a non-significant trend towards higher median fat accumulation with Nigerose compared to control. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | BDF1 and C57BL/6 mice |
Preparation Method | BDF1 mice were intraperitoneally injected with Nigerose 17 hours prior to intravenous inoculation with 1×10⁶ EL-4 tumor cells. C57BL/6 mice were given Nigerose solution as drinking fluid for 7 days before tumor inoculation. |
Dosage form | 0.08mg; i.p.; single injection; 0.20% in drinking water; oral; 7 days |
Applications | Nigerose significantly inhibited EL-4 tumor growth in the liver and improved the survival curve of tumor-bearing mice. |
