Biological Activity

Description Kaempferide (4'-Methylkaempferol, 4'-O-Methylkaempferol, Kaempferol 4'-methyl ether), a natural compound derived from the roots of kaempferia galanga, has a variety of effects including anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties.
In vitro
In vitro Kaempferide is able to induce apoptosis in the "side population" (SP, a subpopulation enriched with CSC in various cancers) cells in myeloma. It reverses the activity of drug efflux transporter[2]. Kaempferide is non-toxic to normal fibroblasts while inducing morphological changes, membrane flip-flop and nuclear membrane damage, characteristic of apoptosis in HeLa cells. It is highly cytotoxic to cervical cancer cells. Kaempferide-induced cytotoxicity is independent of cell cycle arrest[3].
Cell Research Cell lines KMS-11 cells
Concentrations 4-64 μM
Incubation Time 24 h
Method

Unfractionated cells are seeded at 20000 cells per well in a 96 well plate. After 24h of incubation with various concentration of KFD, PAR, and DMSO (vehicle control), MTS solution is added and absorbance at 490 nm is determined.

In Vivo
In vivo Kaempferide (Kae) remarkably improves cardiac function, alleviates myocardial injury via a decrease in myocardial enzyme levels, and attenuates myocardial infarct size in a dose-dependent manner. It attenuates I/R-induced myocardial injury through inhibition of the Nrf2 and cleaved caspase-3 signaling pathways via a PI3K/Akt/GSK 3β-dependent mechanism. Preconditioning treatment with Kae significantly decreases serum TNF-α, IL-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), MDA, and ROS levels, while increases serum levels of SOD. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and cleaved caspase-3 expression levels are downregulated, while phospho-Akt (p-Akt) and phospho-glycogen synthase kinase-3β (p-GSK-3β) expression levels are upregulated[1]. Kaempferide is non-toxic as assessed by acute and chronic toxicity studies in Swiss albino mice in vivo[3].

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.
