General tips | For obtaining a higher solubility , please warm the tube at 37 ℃ and shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while.Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months. We recommend that you prepare and use the solution on the same day. However, if the test schedule requires, the stock solutions can be prepared in advance, and the stock solution must be sealed and stored below -20℃. In general, the stock solution can be kept for several months. Before use, we recommend that you leave the vial at room temperature for at least an hour before opening it. |

Description | 1. Taxoquinone shows significant and concentration-dependent antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities of DPPH, nitric oxide, superoxide and hydroxyl free radicals by 78.83%, 72.42%, 72.99% and 85.04%, as compared to standard compounds ascorbic acid (81.69%, 74.62%, 73% and 73.79%). 2. Taxoquinone at the concentration range of 100-3,000 ug/mL and 200-1,000 ug/mL shows potent efficacy on inhibiting α-glucosidase and tyrosinase enzymes by 9.24-51.32% and 11.14-52.32%, respectively; suggests that taxoquinone could as a novel candidate in food and medicine industry as a natural alternative medicine to prevent diabetes mellitus type-2 related disorders and as a depigmentation agent. 3. Taxoquinone (100 ug/disc) displays potential anticandidal effect against Candia albicans. 4. Taxoquinone has strong antibacterial effect, it could be used as a promising antibacterial agent in food industry to inhibit the growth of certain important foodborne pathogens. |

alpha-Glucosidase and tyrosinase inhibitory effects of an abietane type diterpenoid taxoquinone from Metasequoia glyptostroboides.[Pubmed:25887244]
BMC Complement Altern Med. 2015 Mar 26;15:84.
BACKGROUND: Nowadays plant derived natural compounds have gained huge amount of research attention especially in food and medicine industries due to their multitude of biological and therapeutic properties as alternative medicines. METHODS: In this study, a diterpenoid compound Taxoquinone, isolated from Metasequoia glyptostroboides was evaluated for its alpha-glucosidase and tyrosinase inhibitory efficacy in terms of its potent anti-diabetic and depigmentation potential, respectively. RESULTS: As a result, Taxoquinone at the concentration range of 100-3,000 mug/mL and 200-1,000 mug/mL showed potent efficacy on inhibiting alpha-glucosidase and tyrosinase enzymes by 9.24-51.32% and 11.14-52.32%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study clearly evident potent therapeutic efficacy of an abietane diterpenoid Taxoquinone isolated from M. glyptostroboides with a possibility for using it as a novel candidate in food and medicine industry as a natural alternative medicine to prevent diabetes mellitus type-2 related disorders and as a depigmentation agent.
