Miquelianin (Quercetin 3-O-glucuronide) is the main metabolite of quercetin in the body and is also a carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1) inhibitor [1]. Miquelianin effectively scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS), inhibits inflammatory responses mediated by the NF-κB signaling pathway, and improves cellular metabolic homeostasis by activating the PI3K/Akt pathway [2]. Miquelianin is primarily used in experimental studies of oxidative, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and metabolic regulatory mechanisms [3-4].
In MDCK cells, Miquelianin can effectively inhibit the replication of H1N1-UI182 virus, as manifested by a significant decrease in the expression of viral nucleoprotein (NP) and a significant reduction in cytopathic effect (CPE) observed under a microscope [5]. In C3H10T1/2 cells, Miquelianin (5μM, 10μM; 24h) can reduce intracellular lipid accumulation by promoting lipolysis and fatty acid β-oxidation and inhibiting lipid droplet formation, thereby exerting metabolic regulation and anti-fatty degeneration effects [6].
In atopic dermatitis (AD) mice model, Oral administration of Miquelianin (4mg/mL, 10mg/mL; po; 21d) can significantly reduce serum IgE levels and the expression of Th2-related cytokines (such as IL-4 and IL-5) in the spleen, thereby inhibiting excessive Th2 immune responses [7]. In HFD-fed mice model, Miquelianin (12.8mg/kg, 25.6mg/kg; ig; 12weeks) extract promotes white-to-beige fat conversion via blocking AMPK/DRP1/mitophagy and modulating gut microbiota [8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | MDCK cells |
Preparation Method | MDCK cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% FBS, 100IU/mL penicillin, and 100μg/mL streptomycin at 37℃ and 5% CO2. When the cell density reached 70–80%, the supernatant was discarded, and different concentrations of the Miquelianin (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100μM) were plated in duplicate in five replicate wells. Virus-infected and uninfected cells were simultaneously treated with the working solution at different concentrations. Positive control wells (H1N1-UI182 virus only) and negative control wells (no H1N1-UI182 virus) were assigned to each plate. After 48 hours, cell viability was assessed using a CCK-8 assay. |
Reaction Conditions | 6.25-100μM; 48h |
Applications | Miquiline can effectively inhibit the replication of H1N1-UI182 virus, as manifested by a significant decrease in the expression of viral nucleoprotein (NP) and a significant reduction in cytopathic effect (CPE) observed under a microscope. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Atopic dermatitis (AD) mice model |
Preparation Method | To evaluate the anti-AD effects of oral Miquelianin treatment, the BALB/c mice were divided into five groups: naïve (TMA-non-exposed, n = 6), sham (untreated, n = 8), Miquelianin-4 (4mg/mL, n = 8), Miquelianin-10 (10mg/mL, n = 8), and Dex (1mg/mL, n = 6). Mice were sensitized on the shaved right flank with 50μL of 5% TMA in a mixed solvent (acetone/isopropyl myristate, 4:1 v/v) on day 0, and then 20μL of 2% TMA was applied to the surface of both ears on days 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, and 26. Miquelianin or Dex was administered orally daily from day 5 to 26. |
Dosage form | 4mg/mL, 10mg/mL; po; 21d |
Applications | Oral administration of Miquelianin can significantly reduce serum IgE levels and the expression of Th2-related cytokines (such as IL-4 and IL-5) in the spleen, thereby inhibiting excessive Th2 immune responses. |
