Invitro | 5-(3-Hydroxy-5-methoxyphenethyl)-2-methoxyphenol decreases the level of phosphorylated LRP6 and cytosolic β-catenin in HEK293 cells. In breast cancer MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells, treatment with 5-(3-Hydroxy-5-methoxyphenethyl)-2-methoxyphenol reduces the level of phosphorylated LRP6[1]. 5-(3-Hydroxy-5-methoxyphenethyl)-2-methoxyphenol significantly inhibits the proliferation and induces apoptosis of the HepG2 cells. 5-(3-Hydroxy-5-methoxyphenethyl)-2-methoxyphenol at concentrations of 1, 40 and 150 µM markedly decreases the cell viability by 11.7, 30.0 and 56.4% at 24 h and 21.1, 66.8 and 85.5% at 48 h, respectively. The IC50 value is 9.30 µM[2]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | LDD and 5-(3-Hydroxy-5-methoxyphenethyl)-2-methoxyphenol (25–100 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly increase the hot-plate latency in comparison to vehicle-treated mice and decreased carrageenaninduced inflammation in rats[2]. | ||||||||||||
