Puerarin (Kakonein), a naturally occuring isoflavone isolated from the root of Radix puerariae, is a 5-HT2C receptor and benzodiazepine site antagonist. Puerarin (Kakonein), an isoflavone that binds to the benzodiazepine site and the 5-HT2C receptor is present in the root of Radix puerariae. In China, pulmonary ailments are treated clinically with pulmonaria. Puerarin has been shown in another study to have anti-cancer qualities. Puerarin, at a dose-dependent 25 μM, inhibits the growth of HT-29 cells by increasing bax and decreasing c-myc and bcl-2.

Puerarin (7,4'-dihydroxy-8-C-glucosylisoflavone) is the most abundant isoflavone-C-glucoside extracted from Radix puerariae, and it has been used for various medicinal purposes in traditional oriental medicine for thousands of years. In the present study, the ability of the puerarin to modulate inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and C reactive protein (CRP) expression and induce changes in the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathway in RAW264.7 macrophage cells was examined. The protein and mRNA levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced iNOS, COX-2 and CRP were determined in RAW246.7 macrophage cells. Inhibitor κB (I-κB) phosphorylation and p65NF-κB expression in RAW246.7 macrophage cells were also detected under our experimental conditions. The results indicated that puerarin inhibited the expression of LPS-induced iNOS, COX-2 and CRP proteins and also suppressed their mRNAs from RT-PCR experiments in RAW264.7 cells. Subsequently, we determined that the inhibition of iNOS, COX-2 and CRP expression was due to a dose-dependent inhibition of phosphorylation and degradation of I-κB, which resulted in the reduction of p65NF-κB nuclear translocation. These data suggested that the effect of puerarin-mediated inhibition of LPS-induced iNOS, COX-2 and CRP expression is attributed to suppressed NF-κB activation at the transcriptional level [4].

Cell Assay |
RAW264.7 cells are kept at subconfluence in a humidified environment that is 95% air and 5% CO2 and is kept at 37°C. Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium, enhanced with 10% fetal bovine serum, penicillin (100 units/mL), and streptomycin (100 μg/mL), is the medium utilized for routine subculture. Following puerarin treatment, the cells' viability is assessed using the MTT assay. The cells are incubated at 37°C with MTT (0.05 mg/mL) for 4 hours, after which the supernatants are removed for nitrite determination. The optical density is then measured at 540 nm. Puerarin is present in concentrations of 10, 20, 40, and 100 μM.

Additional Infomation |
Puerarin is a hydroxyisoflavone that is isoflavone substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 7 and 4' and a beta-D-glucopyranosyl residue at position 8 via a C-glycosidic linkage. It has a role as a plant metabolite, an autophagy inducer, a cardioprotective agent, an antioxidant, an anti-inflammatory agent, an antipyretic and a ferroptosis inhibitor. It is a C-glycosyl compound and a hydroxyisoflavone. It is functionally related to an isoflavone. It is a conjugate acid of a puerarin(1-).
Puerarin has been investigated for the treatment of Alcohol Abuse. Puerarin has been reported in Bupleurum chinense, Pueraria calycina, 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.
