Biological Activity

Description Sesamin (Fagarol, Fsesamin), a lignan isolated from the bark of Fagara plants and from sesame oil, exhibits various health benefits.
In vitro
In vitro Sesamin (Fagarol) is a lignan isolated from the bark of Fagara plants and from sesame oil. It has been used as a dietary fat-reduction supplement. Sesamin truly increases fat metabolism. Sesamin specifically inhibits delta 5 desaturase at low concentrations in polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis in both microorganisms and animals, but does not inhibit delta 6, delta 9 and delta 12 desaturases. [1] Dietary sesamin greatly increases the hepatic activity of fatty acid oxidation enzymes, including carnitine palmitoyltransferase, acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, acyl-CoA oxidase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, enoyl-CoA hydratase, and 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase. Dietary sesamin also increases the activity of 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase and delta3,delta2-enoyl-CoA isomerase, enzymes involved in the auxiliary pathway for beta-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids dose-dependently. [2] Sesamin is also a novel inhibitor of pregnane X receptor (PXR) and may be useful for modulating CYP3A4 and drug efficacies. [3]

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
