Product Data:
Biological target: Ellagic acid acts as a potent and ATP-competitive CK2 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 40 nM and a Ki of 20 nM.
In vitro activity: EA (Ellagic acid) was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and added to the serum-free medium, ensuring that the final concentration of DMSO was below 1%. EA suppressed the secretion of VLDL (apoB) at the 50 µM concentration compared to the secretion in the untreated control using ELISA (Figure 3a). Reference: Molecules. 2021 Jul; 26(13): 3885. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8271888/
In vivo activity: EA (Ellagic acid) (25, 50, 100 mg/kg) significantly prevented (day 21; p < 0.05, p < 0.001, p < 0.001) 3-NP induced increase of latency to traverse the narrow beam in relation to rats that received 3-NP alone (Fig. 2a). Daily treatment of rats with EA (50 and 100 mg/kg) prevented (day 21; p < 0.001) the 3-NP triggered paw slips relative to rats that received 3-NP only (Fig. 2b). EA at dose 25 mg/kg also lowered (day 7, 14, p < 0.01) the number of paw slips in 3-NP administered rats (Fig. 2b). The present results indicated that 3-NP induced characteristic features of Huntington’s disease (motor and hind-limb impairment) in rats were significantly attenuated by EA pre-treatment.
