HIDE SMILES / InChI
Vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde), a pleasant smelling organic aromatic compound, is widely used as a flavoring additive in food, beverage, cosmetic and drug industries. It is reported to cross the blood brain barrier and also displayed antioxidant and neuroprotective activities. Vanillin is a natural substance widely found in many plant species and often used in beverages, foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products. Antioxidant and anticancer potential have been described for this compound. Vanillin has been classified as a bioantimutagen and is able to inhibit mutagenesis induced by chemical and physical mutagens in various cell systems. Vanillin, a selective agonist of TRPV1, has been shown to attenuate i.c.v. STZ and AlCl3+d-galactose induced experimental Alzheime's disease (AD).

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Vanillin is reported to cross the blood brain barrier and also displayed antioxidant and neuroprotective activities.

Originator

Curator's Comment: Vanillin was first isolated as a relatively pure substance in 1858 by Nicolas-Theodore Gobley

Sample Use Guides

Mice: In in vivo antioxidant assay, mice were orally given a single dose (100 mg/kg) of vanillin. The highest activity in the plasma ORAC assay was observed at 5 min, when the concentrations of vanillin, vanillic acid, and protocatechuic acid were high.
Route of Administration: Oral
Vanillin at 2.5 mM inhibited protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation induced by photosensitization with methylene blue plus light in rat liver mitochondria. It also exhibited hydroxyl radical and 2,2`-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical cation (ABTS∙+) (IC50 value of 16.25 uM) scavenging activities. Pretreatment of vanillin (100 nM) also reduced rotenone induced mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells
