Product Data
Biological target:
Glaucine is a selective and orally active phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor with Kis of 3.4 µM in human bronchus and polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Glaucine is also a non-selective α-adrenoceptor antagonist, a Ca2+ entry blocker, and a weak dopamine D1 and D2 receptor antagonist.
In vitro activity:
Treatment with PMA for 24 and 48 h significantly increased MCF-7 cell viability; however, treatment with >15 μM glaucine decreased cell proliferation in the presence or absence of PMA (Fig. 1b). PMA markedly enhanced the colony-forming ability of MCF-7 cells compared to untreated cells (Fig. 1c). In contrast, glaucine at 15 and 30 μM inhibited PMA-induced colony formation by 48 and 63 %, respectively (Fig. 1c). Reference: Mol Cell Biochem. 2015 May;403(1-2):85-94. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25670016/
In vivo activity:
In electrically-stimulated rat vas deferens, (+)-glaucine (0.3-10 microM) enhanced twitch contractions and competitively antagonized the inhibitory effect of clonidine with a pA2 value of 5.91. In tissues incubated in depolarizing calcium-free high-potassium medium, (+)-glaucine (30-80 microM) inhibited Ca(2+)-induced contractions with depression of the maximal response at higher doses and with a pD'2 value of 3.65. Furthermore, (+)-glaucine (50 microM) did not modify basal 45Ca uptake but strongly inhibited the influx of 45Ca induced by K+. 7. These results suggest that (+)-glaucine has non-selective alpha 1- and alpha 2-adrenoceptor blocking properties.
