Wogonin

Synonyms: Vogonin

Wogonin (Vogonin), a natural and biologically-active flavonoid found in plants, is an inhibitor of CDK9 and does not inhibit CDK2, CDK4 and CDK6 at doses that inhibit CDK9 activity; Also inhibits N-acetyltransferase.

Biological Activity

Description Wogonin (Vogonin), a natural and biologically-active flavonoid found in plants, is an inhibitor of CDK9 and does not inhibit CDK2, CDK4 and CDK6 at doses that inhibit CDK9 activity; Also inhibits N-acetyltransferase.
Targets
CDK9 [1] N-acetyltransferase [5]
In vitro
In vitro Wogonin inhibits PMA-induced COX-2 gene expression by inhibiting c-Jun expression and AP-1 activation in A549 cells[1]. Wogonin is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) and block phosphorylation of the carboxy-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II at Ser. Thus, it reduces RNA synthesis and subsequently rapid downregulation of the short-lived anti-apoptotic protein myeloid cell leukemia 1 (Mcl-1) resulting in apoptosis induction in cancer cells. Wogonin directly binds to CDK9, presumably to the ATP-binding pocketa and does not inhibit CDK2, CDK4 and CDK6 at doses that inhibit CDK9 activity. Wogonin preferentially inhibits CDK9 in malignant compared with normal lymphocytes. Wogonin is a also potent anti-oxidant capable to scavenge •O2− [2]. Wogonin significantly inhibits the translocation of NFATc1 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and its transcriptional activation activity. It also significantly inhibits osteoclast differentiation and decreases the transcription of osteoclast‑associated immunoglobulin‑like receptor, tartrate‑resistant acid phosphatase and calcitonin receptor[4]. Wogonin Inhibits N-acetyltransferase Activity[5].
Cell Research Cell lines Human lung carcinoma A549 cells
Concentrations 100 μM
Incubation Time 6 h
Method A549 cells are culture in 24-well plate (1.2×105 cells/well) 1 day before wogonin treatment. DMSO or wogonin is added into A549 cells 1 h before PMA stimulation, and cells are incubated for another 6 h. Cells are collected by trypsin treatment and cell numbers are counted by using a hemocytometer and trypan blue exclusion method.
In Vivo
In vivo Wogonin suppresses growth of human cancer xenografts in vivo. At doses lethal to tumor cells, wogonin shows no or little toxicity for normal cells and had also no obvious toxicity in animals[2]. Wogonin could induce apoptosis in murine sarcoma S180 thereby inhibiting the tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo[3]. An intraperitoneal injection of 200 mg/kg Wogonin could completely inhibit leukemia and CEM cells[4].

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.
