Product Description
Honokiol (also known as NSC 293100) is a bioactive, biphenolic phytochemical that occurs naturally. It is the active component of magnolia extract and has powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. It prevents the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and promotes the phosphorylation of ERK1/ERK2, which prevents the phosphorylation of Akt. The bark or seed cones of the Magnolia tree are used to make the natural product honokiol. As a traditional analgesic and treatment for anxiety and mood disorders, houpu has been used in eastern medicine. As a potent and extremely tolerable antitumorigenic and neurotrophic compound, honokiol experienced a resurgence in popularity in the late 1990s. Honokiol has strong anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, anti-cancer, and anti-angiogenic properties that it uses to target different signaling molecules.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
ERK1; ERK2; Autophagy
ln Vitro
Honokiol exhibits pro-apoptotic effects in melanoma, sarcoma, myeloma, leukemia, bladder, lung, prostate, oral squamous cell carcinoma, and colon cancer cell lines. Honokiol is effective at causing apoptosis in SVR angiosarcoma cells. When honokiol is used to treat SVR cells, less MAP kinase, akt, and c-src are phosphorylated. Additionally, TRAIL-mediated apoptosis is potentiated by honokiol, and the cytotoxicity of honokiol is partially reversed by TRAIL-neutralizing antibodies. Honokiol also has direct antiangiogenic properties, as it prevents phosphorylation and rac activation brought on by VEGF-VEGFR2 interactions.[1] Honokiol activates caspase 8, which is followed by caspase 9, and then it activates caspase 3 to cause apoptosis in CLL cells. Honokiol inhibits the interleukin-4-mediated survival of CLL cells and increases the cytotoxicity of chlorambucil, fludarabine, and cladribine. [3] Honokiol kills myeloma cells from relapsed patients at doses that do not kill PBMCs. Treatment with honokiol and PARP cleavage both induce caspases 3, 7, 8, and 9.[2] Honokiol has been found to cause apoptosis in the colon cancer cell lines RKO. [4] By modifying the nuclear factor-kappaB activation pathway, honokiol promotes apoptosis, inhibits osteoclastogenesis, and prevents invasion. Honokiol has an inhibitory effect on the PI3K/Akt pathway, which may make it a potent anti-inflammatory drug with a variety of potential uses.[6]
ln Vivo
Honokiol is very successful in treating SVR angiosarcoma in naked mice. [1] In murine xenografts, honokiol prevents the growth of RKO cells. [4] In murine xenografts, honokiol inhibits the growth of MDA-MD-231 breast cancer cells. [7]
Cell Assay
In cytotoxicity tests, 96-well plates with 10,000 cells per well are added and allowed to stand overnight before the cells are exposed to various Honokiol concentrations dissolved in DMSO. For in vitro studies, honokiol is dissolved in DMSO because it is not soluble in aqueous solvents. Solvent (DMSO) control is used at a maximum concentration of <0.1% to investigate the potential impact of DMSO on cells. Cells are fixed 72 hours after treatment, and crystal violet staining (0.05%) is used to assess cell viability.
Animal Protocol
The MDA-MB-231 cells (2 million) are injected into mammary fat tissue for anticancer in vivo studies. Palpable tumors are seen in mammary tissues two weeks after the tumor cell injections, which is a sign that a tumor has formed. The medication is then administered orally at doses of 40 and 80 mg/kg per day, either in free form or in nanomicellar form. The drug treatment is continued for another four weeks, and weekly weight and tumor volume measurements are made. Animals are sacrificed after 4 weeks of treatment, and the final tumor weights and volumes are assessed. For immunohistochemical and western blot analyses, these tumors are used.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
