In Vitro

Geraniol (0.25-1 mM, 24, 48, 72 h) blocks the cell cycle and induces apoptosis in PC-3 cells[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Viability Assay [2]

Cell Line: PC-3
Concentration: 0.068, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1 mM
Incubation Time: 72 h
Result: Decreased cell growth in a concentration-dependment manner.

Cell Cycle Analysis [2]

Cell Line: PC-3
Concentration: 0.25, 0.5, 1 mM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Increased the percentage of G1 and/or sub-G1 phase cells.

Western Blot Analysis [2]

Cell Line: PC-3
Concentration: 0.25, 0.5, 1 mM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Increased the activity of caspase-3.
Reduced the expressions of four cyclin isotypes (cyclin A, B, D, and E), two of CDK family (CDK1 and CDK4), and two anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members (Bcl-2 and Bcl-w).
Elevated the expressions of two CDK inhibitory proteins (p21 and p27) and two pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members (Bax and BNIP3).
In Vivo

Geraniol (60, 300 mg/kg, subcutaneously injected into tumor cells daily for 38 consecutive days) inhibits tumor growth in PC-3 nude mouse tumor models[2].
Geraniol (200 mg/kg, orally, for 45 consecutive days) improves hyperglycemia by reducing a key enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism induced by streptomycin (HY-13753) in diabetic rats[3].
Geraniol (100 mg/kg/day, orally, for 4 weeks) alleviates oxidative stress, bioaccumulation, serological and histopathological changes during aluminum chloride hepatopancreas poisoning in male Wistar rats[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: PC-3 cell xenograft in nude mice[2]
Dosage: 60, 300 mg/kg
Administration: s.c.
Result: Reduced the tumor volume and weight.
Increased the percentage of apoptotic cells and reduced the expression level of Ki-67.
Animal Model: Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats [3]
Dosage: 200 mg/kg
Administration: p.o.
Result: Decreased the body weight in diabetes rats and decreased blood glucose and increased plasma insulin to near normal.
Reverted the levels of Hb and HbA1C towards near normal and reversed the activities of these enzymes to near normal.
Animal Model: Aluminum chloride-hepatopancreatic toxicity rats[4]
Dosage: 100 mg/kg
Administration: p.o.
Result: Reduced AST, ALT, ALP, LDH, pancreatic enzymes and FBS levels.
Reduced the MDA and Increased the TAC levels.

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.
