MOLLUGIN Chemical Properties, Uses, Production
Chemical Properties
Derived from the dried root of Rubia cordifolia L.
Uses
Mollugin is an anti-tumor agent inducing apoptosis and autophagy in various cancer models.
Definition
ChEBI: Rubimaillin is a benzochromene that is 2H-benzo[h]chromene which is substituted by two methyl groups at position 2, a methoxycarbonyl group at position 5, and a hydroxy group at position 6. Found in the Chinese medical plant Rubia cordifola, It has an anti-cancer effect by inhibition of TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappaB activation. It is also a dual inhibitor of acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase 1 and 2 (ACAT1 and ACAT2), but is more selective for the ACAT2 isozyme. It has a role as a plant metabolite, an acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase 2 inhibitor, a NF-kappaB inhibitor, an antineoplastic agent, an apoptosis inducer, a neuroprotective agent and an anti-inflammatory agent. It is a benzochromene, a methyl ester and a member of phenols.
Biological Activity
Mollugin displays inhibitory activity in arachidonic acid- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation. Mollugin has been reported to inhibit cancer cell proliferation, and has other biological activities including anti-inflammatory and apoptotic effects.
in vivo
Mollugin (0-75 mg/kg, Orally, three times per week for 36 days) inhibits growth of HeLa cells in a xenograft tumor model[1].
| Animal Model: | BALB/c female athymic nude mice (six-week-old, subcutaneously injected with 0.2 mL HeLa cells)[1] |
| Dosage: | 0, 25 and 75 mg/kg |
| Administration: | Orally, three times per week for 36 days |
| Result: | Suppressed tumor growth, whereas the body weight did not change. Significantly reduced the protein expression of p-p65 and COX-2 in the tumors. |
