Description:

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

Rutaecarpine, also known as NSC 258317, is a quinazolinone alkaloid originally isolated from E. rutaecarpa that has diverse biological activities. Rutaecarpine prevented dysfunction of endothelial gap junction induced by Ox-LDL via activation of TRPV1. Rutaecarpine inhibits angiotensin II-induced proliferation in rat vascular smooth muscle cells. Rutaecarpine ameliorates hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia in fat-fed, streptozotocin-treated rats via regulating the IRS-1/PI3K/Akt and AMPK/ACC2 signaling pathways.

Product Data
Biological target:
Rutaecarpine inhibits COX-2 and COX-1 dependent phases of PGD2 generation in BMMC in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 of 0.28 μM and 8.7 μM, respectively. It inhibits COX-2-dependent conversion of exogenous arachidonic acid to PGE2 in a dose-dependent manner by the COX-2-transfected HEK293 cells.
In vitro activity:
Rutacarpine demonstrated significant in vitro activity against high glucose (HG)-induced cardiomyocyte injury. It effectively inhibited apoptosis and oxidative stress in H9c2 cardiomyocyte cells exposed to HG levels. Additionally, rutacarpine activated TRPV1, inducing autophagy, which further contributed to its protective effects against HG-induced cellular damage. Reference: Bratisl Lek Listy. 2023;124(9):699-706. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37635668/
In vivo activity:
Rutacarpine demonstrated promising in vivo activity in a mouse model of osteoarthritis (OA). It effectively reduced inflammation, cartilage degradation, chondrocyte apoptosis, senescence, and autophagy impairment induced by interleukin-1β. Rutacarpine mediated the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB and MAPK pathways, protecting cartilage. These findings highlight the potential therapeutic benefits of Rutacarpine for osteoarthritis treatment.
