Ginkgetin is a natural biflavonoid compound extracted from Ginkgo biloba leaves, inhibits the Wnt signaling pathway (IC₅₀=5.92μM)[1]. Ginkgetin exhibits multiple pharmacological activities, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects[2]. Ginkgetin can be used to treat coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, and hypertension[3-4].
In vitro, co-treatment of A549, NCI-H460, and SPC-A-1 non-small cell lung cancer cells with Ginkgetin (5μM) and Cisplatin (5μM) for 48 hours significantly induces ferroptosis and enhances the cytotoxic effects of Cisplatin[5]. Treatment of ovarian cancer cells A2780, SK-OV-3, and CP70 with Ginkgetin (0.625–80μM) for 24 hours significantly inhibits cell proliferation, induces apoptosis, and reduces cell migration and invasion capabilities[6].
In vivo, intraperitoneal injection of Ginkgetin (5mg/kg) every other day for 2 months in a Doxorubicin (Dox; 10mg/kg)-induced aging C57BL/6J mouse model significantly alleviates aging-related pathological changes in multiple tissues (including kidney, liver, muscle, and spleen) and improves motor function[7]. Oral administration of Ginkgetin (25, 50, 100mg/kg) twice weekly for 8 weeks in ovariectomized (OVX) C57BL/6J mice significantly attenuates bone loss[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
A2780, SK-OV-3, and CP70 (human ovarian cancer cell lines); KGN (human ovarian granulosa cell-like) and H9c2 (rat cardiomyocytes) as normal controls |
|
Preparation Method |
OC cells and normal cells were cultured in high-glucose DMEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS at 37°C, 5% CO₂. Cells were treated with Ginkgetin at concentrations of 0.625–80μM for 24 hours. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
0.625–80μM; 24h |
|
Applications |
Ginkgetin dose-dependently inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion of OC cells, and induced apoptosis via downregulation of Bcl-2 and upregulation of Bax/p53. Ginkgetin suppressed JAK2/STAT3 and MAPK signaling pathways and reduced SIRT1 protein expression. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
C57BL/6J female mice |
|
Preparation Method |
Mice underwent ovariectomy (OVX) to induce bone loss. Ginkgetin (25–100mg/kg) was orally administered twice weekly for 8 weeks. |
|
Dosage form |
25–100mg/kg; orally administered; for 8 weeks |
|
Applications |
In OVX mice, Ginkgetin attenuated bone loss by improving bone density (BMD, BV/TV) and trabecular structure, suppressing osteoclast formation via inhibition of NF-κB/IκBα signaling, and reducing osteoclast-related genes. |

| General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |
