Description Herniarin is a natural coumarin occurs in some flowering plants, with antitumor effect.
Related Catalog
In Vitro Herniarin is cytotoxic to breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7 with an IC50 of 207.6 µM. Herniarin (100 µM) also induces apoptosis in MCF-7 cells[1]. Herniarin alone has no obvious cytotoxicity on transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) cells, but when in combination with 5 µg/mL cisplatin, Herniarin (80 µg/mL) potently enhances the antitumor effect of cisplatin, and increases chromatin condensation[2].
Cell Assay Briefly, the cells are seeded (104 cells per well) onto flat-bottomed 96-well culture plates and allowed to grow 72 h after treatment with various concentration of auraptene, Herniarin, umbelliferone, and umbelliprenin. After removing the medium, MTT solution (5 mg/mL in PBS) is added and incubated for 4 h and the resulting formazan is solubilized with DMSO (100 mL). The absorption is measured at 570 nm (620 nm as a reference) in an ELISA reader[1].
