Biological Activity
| Targets |
Aloe-emodin-8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside targets protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) (IC₅₀ = 38.5 μM) [1] |
| ln Vitro |
- Aloe-emodin-8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside exhibited dose-dependent inhibitory activity against recombinant human PTP1B enzyme, with an IC₅₀ value of 38.5 μM [1] - The compound showed no significant inhibitory effect on other phosphatases (e.g., TCPTP) at concentrations up to 100 μM, indicating moderate selectivity for PTP1B [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
- Recombinant human PTP1B enzyme was used for the inhibition assay, with p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) as the synthetic substrate [1] - The reaction was conducted in a buffer system at 37°C, with serial dilutions of Aloe-emodin-8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (0.1-100 μM) added to the mixture of enzyme and substrate [1] - After incubation for a specific period, the reaction was terminated by adding a stop solution, and the absorbance of the product (p-nitrophenol) was measured spectrophotometrically at 405 nm [1] - The inhibitory rate of PTP1B activity was calculated by comparing the absorbance of the treatment group with the blank control group, and the IC₅₀ value was determined via nonlinear regression analysis of the dose-response curve [1] |

| Additional Infomation |
Aloe-emodin-8-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside has been reported in Rheum palmatum, Senna alexandrina, and Rheum officinale with data available. - Aloe-emodin-8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside is a natural compound isolated from the plant Saussrurea lappa (commonly known as Aucklandia lappa or costus root) [1] - As a PTP1B inhibitor, the compound has potential therapeutic implications for metabolic diseases (e.g., type 2 diabetes mellitus) and cancer, since PTP1B is involved in regulating insulin signaling and oncogenic pathways [1] - The compound is a glycosylated derivative of aloe-emodin, with the glucopyranoside moiety potentially influencing its solubility and biological activity compared to the aglycone form [1] |
Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~50 mg/mL (~115.64 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (5.78 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
