4-Methylumbelliferone is a known synthetic inhibitor of hyaluronic acid (HA) [1, 2]. IC50 values are in the proliferation assay were 0.65±0.04mM[3].
4-Methylumbelliferone can inhibit the proliferation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) cell lines (0.5mM , 48h) , induce apoptosis (5mM , 48h) , and inhibit the production of HA (Hyaluronan) [4]. Public database analysis predict that 4-Methylumbelliferone stimulated the activity of enzymes , which modulate protein processing (enzymes and transcription factors , including 13 members of the nuclear receptor superfamily regulating lipid and carbohydrate metabolism) , cell motility , membrane glycolipid composition and glycogen breakdown[5].
4-Methylumbelliferone (6.5mg/g/day , 6 months , systemic oral administration) reduced perineuronal nets (PNNs) formation around neurons and enhanced memory retention in mice[6]. 4-Methylumbelliferone (25mg/kg for 24 hours dissolved in DMSO/0.9% NaCl (1 : 4) by intraperitoneal injection) had a potential ability to attenuate the cardiac injury by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in a TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3-dependent mechanism[7] .
4-Methylumbelliferone deregulates the tumor microenvironment by inhibiting HA synthesis[2].
