Coptisine chloride

Coptisine chloride is an alkaloid from Chinese goldthread, and acts as an efficient uncompetitive IDO inhibitor with a Ki value of 5.8 μM and an IC50 value of 6.3 μM¹. Coptisine (0.1-100 μM) inhibits the proliferation of A549, H460, H2170, MDA-MB-231 and HT-29 cells, with IC50s of 18.09, 29.50, 21.60, 20.15 and 26.60 µM, respectively. Coptisine (12.5, 25, 50 μM) upregulates the expression of pH2AX and p21, reduces expression of cyclin B1, cdc2, and cdc25C, and induces G2/M arrest and apoptosis of A549 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Coptisine (12.5, 25, 50 μM) also induces mitochondrial dysfunction and activates caspases activities in A549 cells. Furthermore, Coptisine (50 μM) increases ROS levels in a time-dependent manner (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 12, and 24 h)². Coptisine shows increased toxicity in mice in a concentration dependent manner, with LD50 value of 880.18 mg/kg. Coptisine (154 mg/kg/day, 90 days) shows no toxicity on SD rats. Coptisine (23.35, 46.7, 70.05 mg/kg, p.o.) dose-dependently decreases the levels of TC, TG, and LDL-c and increases HDL-c content in serum of hamsters to different degree, slows down weight gain induced by the HFHC (high-fat and high-cholesterol diet) diet, and raises the level of cholesterol and TBA (total bile acid) in feces dose-dependently in hamsters. Coptisine (70.05 mg/kg, p.o.) suppresses HMGCR (3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase) protein expression level and induces the protein expression of SREBP-2, LDLR(low-density lipoprotein receptor), and CYP7A1 (cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase) involved in cholesterol metabolism³.

溶解方案(细胞实验)

DMSO 中的溶解度 : 10 mg/mL (28.11 mM; 超声助溶 (<60°C); 吸湿的 DMSO 对产品的溶解度有显著影响，请使用新开封的 DMSO)

溶解方案(动物实验)

"方案 一": "请依序添加每种溶剂：10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)Solubility: ≥ 1.04 mg/mL (2.92 mM); 澄清溶液 此方案可获得 ≥ 1.04 mg/mL（饱和度未知）的澄清溶液。以 1 mL 工作液为例，取 100 μL 10.4 mg/mL 的澄清 DMSO 储备液加到 900 μL 20% 的 SBE-β-CD 生理盐水水溶液 中，混合均匀。2 g SBE-β-CD（磺丁基醚 β-环糊精）粉末定容于 10 mL 的生理盐水中，完全溶解至澄清透明。"

"方案 二": "请依序添加每种溶剂：10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% SalineSolubility: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (1.41 mM); 澄清溶液 此方案可获得 ≥ 0.5 mg/mL（饱和度未知）的澄清溶液。以 1 mL 工作液为例，取 100 μL 5.0 mg/mL 的澄清 DMSO 储备液加到 400 μL PEG300 中，混合均匀；再向上述体系中加入 50 μL Tween-80，混合均匀；然后再继续加入 450 μL 生理盐水 定容至 1 mL。生理盐水的配制：将 0.9 g 氯化钠，溶解于 ddH₂O 并定容至 100 mL，可以得到澄清透明的生理盐水溶液。"
