Product Description
Safranal is the orally bioactive major component of saffron (Crocus sativus) and is responsible for the spice's unique aroma. Safranal has neuro-protection and anti-inflammatory effects and has research potential in PD/Parkinson's disease.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In both RAW264.7 cells and BMDMs, safranal (10–50 μM) reduces LPS-induced iNOS and COX-2 levels in a dose-dependent manner for one hour[1]. When lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulates RAW 264.7 cells, safranal (10–50 μM) suppresses mRNA expression and the generation of cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α for one hour[1]. In lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, safranal (10, 50 μM) for 1 h suppresses the nuclear translocation of NF-κB and AP-1[1]. This is followed by stimulation with 1 μg/ml of LPS for 30 min.
ln Vivo
Safranal (200–500 mg/kg; PO; for 7 days) results in a significantly low DAI score, a slight restoration of colon length, and a percentage of weight loss[1].
Cell Assay
Cell Types: RAW264.7 cells and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs)
Tested Concentrations: 10, 50 μM
Incubation Duration: For 1 h prior to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation (1 µg/ml)
Experimental Results: Dose-dependently diminished LPS-induced iNOS and COX-2 levels in both RAW264.7 cells and BMDMs. Inhibited the phosphorylation of MAPK pathway proteins extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38. Inhibited NF-κB pathway proteins IKKα/β and IκBα and the degradation of IκBα.

RT-PCR[1]
Cell Types: RAW 264.7 cells
Tested Concentrations: 10, 50 μM
Incubation Duration: For 1 h followed by stimulation with LPS (1 μg/ml) for 24 h
Experimental Results: Inhibited cytokine IL-6 and TNF-α production and mRNA expression in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Female balb/c (Bagg ALBino) mouse (18- 20 g) (DSS-induced colitis mice)[1]
Doses: 200, 500 mg/kg
Route of Administration: PO; for 7 days
Experimental Results: Caused a slight restoration of colon length and percentage of weight loss, and the DAI score is Dramatically low .

Additional Infomation
Safranal is a monoterpenoid formally derived from beta-cyclocitral by dehydrogenation. It is functionally related to a beta-cyclocitral.
Safranal has been reported in Camellia sinensis, Eryngium foetidum, and other organisms with data available.

*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

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
