Description of Moracin O

Moracin O is a hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1) inhibitor isolated from Morus alba Linn., exhibiting significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities[1,2]. Moracin O reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)[3] and is commonly used in studies of neuroprotection, oxidative stress, and the regulation of related signaling pathways[4,5].

In vitro, treatment of 4T1-NF-κB reporter cells with Moracin O (3, 10, 100nM) for 24h dose-dependently inhibited NF-κB activity. Pretreatment of HaCaT human keratinocytes with Moracin O (10μM) for 1h, followed by co-incubation with tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL, 20ng/mL) for 24h, significantly attenuated TRAIL-induced cell damage and improved cell viability[6]. Pretreatment of SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cells with Moracin O (10μM) for 4h, followed by exposure to 30mM glutamate for 4h, significantly inhibited glutamate-induced cell death[7].

In vivo, Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice were pretreated with Moracin O (80mg/kg, i.p.) 30min prior to the injection of 0.7% acetic acid to induce a pain model. Moracin O significantly inhibited acetic acid-induced writhing responses, reducing the mean number of writhes from 17 ± 6 in the control group to 0 ± 1, with an inhibition rate of 98%[7].

Protocol of Moracin O

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

HaCaT cells

Preparation Method

HaCaT cells were pre-incubated with 10µM of Moracin O for 1h, then co-cultured with 20ng/mL TRAIL for 24h. Cell viability was determined using a WST-1 assay and normalized to the untreated control.

Reaction Conditions

10μM; 1h

Applications

Pretreatment with Moracin O significantly reduced TRAIL-induced cell damage and improved cell survival.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Male ICR mice

Preparation Method

ICR mice were pretreated intraperitoneally (i.p.) with the Moracin O (80mg/kg) in a separate set 30 min before acetic acid injection (0.7%). The mice were placed individually into glass beakers and 5min were allowed to elapse. The mice were then observed for a period of 10min and the number of writhes was recorded for each animal.

Dosage form

80mg/kg; i.p.

Applications

Pretreatment with Moracin O significantly inhibited acetic acid-induced writhing responses, reducing the average number of writhing responses from 17 ± 6 in the control group to 0 ± 1, with an inhibition rate of 98%.
