Description

Rhapontin (3, 3', 5-trihydroxy-4'-methoxystilbene-3-O-glucoside), a natural stilbenoid glycoside widely distributed in the medicinal plants of Rheum genus in China, has anti-thrombotic, anti-allergic and anti-diabetic activity and can be used as the potent antihyperlipidemic agent. In addition was shown, that rhapontin possessed anti-fibrotic activities and could prevent pulmonary fibrosis in vivo by modulating AMPK activation and suppressing the TGF-β/Smad pathway.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
In a dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced mouse model: oral administration of rhapontin (100mg/kg) significantly attenuated colonic pathological damage and remarkably inhibited infiltration by inflammatory cells, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, NLRP3 inflammasome activation and SIRT1 expression in the colon.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
It was studied the effect of rhapontin alone at difference dosages (0.1–5 μM) on TGF-β1-mediated extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition in primary lung fibroblast (PLF) cells, on TGF-β1 secretion in LPS -stimulated human THP-1, derived macrophages in vitro. Rhapontin suppressed myofibroblast differentiation in a dose-dependent manner, the significant reduction was observed at the concentration of 5 μM.
