Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Bupivacaine is a BK/SK, Kv1, Kv3, TASK-2 K Channel and voltage-gated Na channel blocker used as an anesthetic. It maybe neurotoxic at high does, inducing apoptosis in neuroblastoma cells. It acts by binding to the intracellular portion of voltage-gated sodium channels and blocking sodium influx into nerve cells.

Biological target:
A sodium channel blocker and local anesthetic.
In vitro activity:
Bupivacaine suppressed proliferation and induced apoptosis of HepG2 and SNU-449 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Bupivacaine treatment also decreased colony formation, migration, and invasion of HepG2 and SNU-449 cells. Reference: J Biochem Mol Toxicol. 2021 Aug 2:e22871. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34338398/
In vivo activity:
CAL-27 cells were subcutaneously injected to form xenograft tumors in vivo. The results showed that tumor weight and volume treated with 40 µmol/kg Bupi (bupivacaine) were obviously lower compared with the control group (Figure 7A,B). The apoptotic cells were increased, and the number of Ki67+ expression was decreased (Figure 7C,D,E). Neferine treatment also down-regulated the expression of SOX2, NANOG, and OCT4 proteins (Figure 7F).
