MedChemExpress -Model Emodin -518-82-1

FromMedChemExpress LLC (MCE)

Emodin (Frangula emodin), an anthraquinone derivative, is an anti-SARS-CoV compound. Emodin blocks the SARS coronavirus spike protein and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) interaction[1]. Emodin inhibits casein kinase-2 (CK2). Anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects[2]. Emodin is a potent selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitor with the IC50 of 186 and 86 nM for human and mouse 11β-HSD1, respectively. Emodin ameliorates metabolic disorder in diet-induced obese mice[3].

Description：Emodin (Frangula emodin), an anthraquinone derivative, is an anti-SARS-CoV compound. Emodin blocks the SARS coronavirus spike protein and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) interaction. Emodin inhibits casein kinase-2 (CK2). Anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. Emodin is a potent selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitor with the IC50 of 186 and 86 nM for human and mouse 11β-HSD1, respectively. Emodin ameliorates metabolic disorder in diet-induced obese mice.

In Vitro：Emodin (10-400 μM) blocks the binding of S protein to ACE2 in a dose-dependent manner with the IC50 value of 200 μM[1]. Emodin (5-50 μM) inhibits the S protein-pseudotyped retrovirus infectivity in a dose-dependent manner. Emodin blocks the SARS-CoV S protein binding to Vero E6 cells[1]. Emodin inhibits casein kinase-2 (CK2) with IC50s of 5.9, 30.0, and 7.1 μM for CK2α Wild-type, Ile174Ala mutant, and His160Ala mutant at ATP concentration is 50 μM, respectively. The IC50s are 1.40 and 38.00 μM for CK2α Wild-type, and Val66Ala mutant at ATP concentration is 10 μM[2]. Emodin exhibits low inhibitory activity against mouse and human 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11β-HSD2), with an IC50 higher than 1 mM, indicating that Emodin is more than 5000-fold selective for the human and mouse 11β-HSD1 enzymes over the type 2 isoenzyme[3].

In Vivo：Emodin (single oral administration of 100 or 200 mg/kg) inhibits 11β-HSD1 activity in normal C57BL/6J male mice[3]. Emodin (100 mg/kg; oral administration; b.i.d.) improves insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism, and lowers blood glucose and hepatic PEPCK, and glucose-6-phosphatase mRNA in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice[3].

IC50 & Target：SARS-CoV CK2α Wild-type 1.4 μM (IC50, at ATP concentration is 10 μM) CK2α Wild-type 5.9 μM (IC50, at ATP concentration is 50 μM) mouse 11β-HSD1 86 nM (IC50) human 11β-HSD1 186 nM (IC50)
