Desoxyrhaponticin, a stilbene glycoside from rhubarb, is a potent BACE1 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 1.213µM [1]. Desoxyrhaponticin improves insulin resistance (IR) and reduces lipid accumulation through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway[2]. Desoxyrhaponticin is widely used as an internal standard to develop high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) methods for the large-scale separation and identification of related compounds[3].
In vitro, Desoxyrhaponticin treatment for 4 days significantly inhibited the proliferation of H1299 cells and HBE cells, with IC50 values of 86.68µM and 58.83µM, respectively[4]. Treatment with 400µM Desoxyrhaponticin for 24 hours strongly inhibited the expression of Fatty acid synthase (FAS) in MCF-7 cells and the activity of FAS within the cells, and promoted cell apoptosis[5]. Treatment with 10µM Desoxyrhaponticin for 48 hours significantly inhibited the accumulation of triglycerides (TG) in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and increased the level of PPARγ[6].
In vivo, Desoxyrhaponticin treatment via a single oral administration at a dose of 300mg/kg for 2 hours significantly reduced postprandial hyperglycemia in diabetic rats[7].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
H1299 cells |
|
Preparation Method |
H1299 cells were grown in RPMI-1640 medium with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100U/ml penicillin and 100μg/ml streptomycin at 37°C in 5% CO2/atmosphere. H1299 cells (3×103 cells) were seeded on 96-well plates, incubated for 24h, and then treated with different concentrations of Desoxyrhaponticin (0, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320 and 640µM) at 37°C. After 4 days, cell viability was measured. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
0, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320 and 640µM; 4 days |
|
Applications |
Desoxyrhaponticin treatment significantly reduced the cell viability of H1299 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
Wistar rats |
|
Preparation Method |
Neonatal Wistar rats were injected with streptozotocin (STZ) i.p. (100mg/kg in 50mM citrate buffer, pH 4.5) on the first day of birth. Mice were weaned 21 days after birth, housed in stainless steel wire cages, and given standard laboratory chow and tap water ad libitum. After 2h of fasting of the 12-week-old diabetic rats, an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed. Glucose (2g/kg) was orally administered to the diabetic rats as a 0.4g/ml glucose solution. Desoxyrhaponticin was administered to the mice (300mg/kg; p.o.) in a 50% PEG 400 solution just before the glucose loading. Mice in the untreated diabetic group were given the 50% PEG 400 solution as the solvent control. Blood samples were collected from the tip of the rats’ tails before the glucose administration and at different times afterwards up to 120min. The plasma glucose level was measured. |

Dosage form |
300mg/kg for once; p.o. |
|
Applications |
Desoxyrhaponticin treatment significantly reduced postprandial hyperglycemia in diabetic rats. |
