Description of Vitexin

Vitexin is an active components of many traditional Chinese medicines, and were found in various medicinal plants. Vitexin (apigenin-8-C-glucoside) has recently received increased attention due to its wide range of pharmacological effects, including but not limited to anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-hyperalgesic, and neuroprotective effects [1]. vitexin has recently received increased attention due to its wide range of pharmacological effects, including anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, anti-AD (AD, Alzheimer's disease), anti-hypertensive, anti-spasmodic, anti-hypoxia/ischemia injury, anti-depressant-like actions and anti-viral activities [1].

Vitexin (20 µM, 24h) significantly reduced the HIF-1α level in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells, not in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 or in human osteosarcoma HOS cells under hypoxia [2]. Vitexin reduced the levels of VEGF (the major angiogenic factor) protein and mRNA in a dose-dependent manner [2]. 20 µM of vitexin inhibited PC12 cells invasion by approximately 66% [2]. Vitexin-induced (100 µM, 48h) apoptosis was p53 dependent in human oral cancer OC2 cells [3]. Vitexin (100 µM, 48h) induced the expression of ERK 1/2 in OC2 cells [3].

Vitexin (40 mg/kg i.g.) increased the brain weights of D-galactose-aged mice [4]. vitexin (10-40 mg/kg i.g.) increased the activity of the antioxidase system and levels of ATPase in the serum and tissue of D-galactose-aged mice [4]. Vitexin (0.3-10 mg/kg, i.p.) inhibits the mice writhing response induced by acetic acid and phenyl-p-benzoquinone (PBQ) [5]. Vitexin (1-10 mg/kg, i.p.) inhibits carrageenan-, capsaicin-, and CFA-Induced mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia [5]. Vitexin (10 mg/kg, ip, 30 min before the ipl injection of carrageenan) inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-33) and enhances anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) production induced by carrageenan [5].

Protocol of Vitexin

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Human oral cancer cell line (OC2)

Preparation Method

A total of 1000 cells were seeded in a 96-well plate for 24 h before treatment with vitexin (0, 12.5, 25, 50, 100 µM). At the end of incubation, add alamarBlue reagent in an amount equal to 10% of the volume in the well. Cultures were incubated for 4 h, and then cytotoxicty was measured by using spectrophotometry at 570 and 600 nm.

Reaction Conditions

0, 12.5, 25, 50, 100 µM for for 48 h.

Applications

Increasing concentration of vitexin drastic decreased cell viability of OC2 cells.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

male adult Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats

Preparation Method

rats were randomly divided into the following six groups with 16 rats in each group: (1) sham group, sham-operated without occludes the artery, (2) I/R group, I/R alone with normal saline (NS) treatment, (3) I/R + puerarin group, puerarin was administered intravenously at a dose of 30 mg/kg, beginning at coronary ischemia and again at reperfusion, (4) I/R + vitexin 6 mg/kg group, vitexin was administered intravenously at a dose of 6 mg/kg, beginning at coronary ischemia and again at reperfusion, (5) I/R + vitexin 3 mg/kg group, vitexin was administered intravenously at a dose of 3 mg/kg, beginning at coronary ischemia and again at reperfusion, (6) I/R + vitexin 1.5 mg/kg group, vitexin was administered intravenously at a dose of 1.5 mg/kg, beginning at coronary ischemia and again at reperfusion.

Dosage form

Intravenous injection, 1.5, 3, 6 mg/kg

Applications

The elevation of the ST segment was significantly enhanced in I/R group 30 min after ischemia, 30 and 60 min after reperfusion compared with sham group. Vitexin 6 mg/kg and puerarin have a significant inhibiting effect against the elevation of the ST segment 30 and 60 min after reperfusion compared with I/R group.
