Coniferyl ferulate is an orally active phenolic acid compound. Coniferyl ferulate is a potent inhibitor of glutathione S-transferase (GST) (IC50 = 0.3 μM), which downregulates P-gp expression, induces apoptosis in B-MD-C1 (ADR+/+) cells, and reverses multidrug resistance. Coniferyl ferulate blocks the NMDAR/NR2B-CaMKII-MAPKs signaling pathway, inhibits ROS production and mitochondrial apoptosis, while reshapes the intestinal microbiota and microbial metabolism, ameliorates colonic inflammation and alleviates depressive symptoms in mice. Coniferyl ferulate can alleviate the toxicity of xylene to hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells by targeting Mgst2. Coniferyl ferulate exhibits antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus.

In Vitro

Coniferyl ferulate (5-20 μM, 48 h) induces apoptosis and markedly inhibits cells in G1-phase in B-MD-C1 (ADR+/+) cells[1].
Coniferyl ferulate (5-20 μM, 48 h) inhibits the upregulation of MDR1/P-gp caused by Doxorubicin (HY-15142A), and bring the expression of P-gp close to the basal level in B-MD-C1 (ADR+/+) cells[1].
Coniferyl ferulate (0.2-20 μM, 28 h) protects against the decline in cell viability and apoptosis induced by Glutamate (HY-14608), and alleviates cell membrane damage by blocking the NMDA receptor-CaMKII-MAPKs signaling cascade, reducing the level of ROS and enhancing SOD activity in PC12 cells[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
