Description
Anti-inflammatory and chemotherapeutic agent -
Biological description
Potent scavenger of reactive oxygen species with antiangiogenic, antitumor and anti-inflammatory properties. Mechanisms of action include inhibition of ras signalling and activation of the mitochondrial transistion pore via cyclophilin D induction. Inhibits NF-κB signaling, upstream of VEGF. Blood-brain barrier permeable.

Functional Studies - Honokiol, anti-inflammatory and chemotherapeutic agent (ab120647)
MCF7 cells were incubated at 37°C for 6h with vehicle control (0 µM) and different concentrations of honokiol(ab120647). Increased expression of acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (phospho S79)(ab31931) in MCF7 cells correlates with an increase in honokiol concentration, as described in literature.
Whole cell lysates were prepared with RIPA buffer (containing protease inhibitors and sodium orthovanadate), 10 µg of each were loaded on the gel and the WB was run under reducing conditions. After transfer the membrane was blocked for an hour using 5% BSA before being incubated with ab31931 at 1 µg/ml and ab8227 at 1 µg/ml overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP (ab97051) at 1/10000 dilution and visualised using ECL development solution.
