Description of Fraxetin

Fraxetin is a plant-derived O-methylcoumarin [1]. Fraxetin exerts anti-inflammatory effects by directly scavenging reactive oxygen free radicals and activating antioxidant defenses, and intervening in inflammatory signals [2]. Fraxetin has anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects [3-4].

In MCF-7 cells, Fraxetin (10-60µM; 24h, 48h) significantly inhibited cell proliferation in a concentration and time-dependent manner [5]. In SKOV3 and SW626 cells, Fraxetin (80µM; 12h) suppresses the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ovarian cancer cells by inhibiting the TLR4/STAT3 signaling pathway [6]. In T98G and LN-229 cells, Fraxetin (5-50µM; 48h) inhibited cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner [7].

In C57BL/6J mice, Selenium-dependent glutathione reductase activity is significantly increased in the liver of Fraxetin (25mg/kg; po; 30d) treated mice [8]. In Dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induce a mouse model of colitis, Fraxetin (10mg/kg, 30mg/kg, 60mg/kg; po; 8d) alleviates DSS-induced colitis by modulating the inflammatory response, enhancing epithelial barrier integrity and regulating the gut microbiota [9].

Protocol of Fraxetin

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

MCF-7 cells

Preparation Method

MCF-7 cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a concentration of 1×105/mL and each well contained 100µL. After 24h, Fraxetin was added to 10, 20, 40 and 60µM final concentrations. The control group was treated without Fraxetin. The cells were incubated for 24 and 48h at 37℃ in 5% CO2 and then culture medium was changed.

Reaction Conditions

10-60μM; 24h, 48h

Applications

In MCF-7 cells, Fraxetin significantly inhibited cell proliferation in a concentration and time-dependent manner.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

C57BL/6J mice

Preparation Method

C57BL/6J male 12-month-old mice maintained under natural lighting conditions in a temperature controlled (22 ± 3℃) room and acclimatized to laboratory environment for a minimum of 15 days before experimentation. Animals were segregated into two groups of 12 each: group a, control; and group b, experimental. All mice received a standard pelleted diet and had free access to food and water. The experimental group wastreated orally for 30 days with Fraxetin (25mg/kg) suspended in 10% (v/v) Tween-20 aqueous solution.

Dosage form

25mg/kg; po; 30d

Applications

Selenium-dependent glutathione reductase activity is significantly increased in the liver of Fraxetin treated mice.
