Furoguaiacin (aka alpha-Guaiaconic acid) is a component of guaiac resin which can be obtained from the tropical trees Guajacum officinale and Guajacum sanctum. Furoguaiacin has been used as chromogenic sensor for the detection of occult blood in fecal matter. Furoguiacin has potential anti-inflammatory properties highlighted by its ability to suppress NO production in IL-1B treated hepatocytes.

Sample Use Guides
Hepatocytes were isolated from rat liver by collagenase perfusion and re-suspended in Williams' E medium (WE). Cells were incubated overnight at 37 deg-C then treated with 1 nM rat IL-1B and Furoguaiacin (up to 75 microM) for 8 hours. Nitrous Oxide production was indirectly measured using the Griess method and directly by adding 20 microM NaNO2 and monitoring the quenching of nitrite. Furoguiacin was found to inhibit IL-1B induced NO production with an IC50 of 36.1 microM.
