Product Data
Biological target:
Sipeimine is a natural product isolated from Fritillaria ussuriensis.
In vitro activity:
The cell proliferation test revealed that Peiminine could suppress the proliferation of 12z cells, with the inhibitory impact proportional to the concentration (Figure 5C, 5D). Reference: Am J Transl Res. 2022 Sep 15;14(9):6196-6209. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36247281/
In vivo activity:
After pretreatment with sipeimine, this study measured several ferroptosis-related proteins, including Nrf2, GPX4, HO-1, SLC7A11 and FTH1. Western blot indicated that the expression of Nrf2, GPX4, HO-1, SLC7A11 and FTH1 were significantly diminished in the PM2.5 group in comparison with the sham group. These changes were reversed with the pretreatment of sipeimine (Fig. 3A and Fig. 3B). The immunofluorescence staining revealed significantly decreased Nrf2 expression in the PM2.5 group, and sipeimine upregulated Nrf2 expression in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 3C and Fig. 3D). As shown in Fig. 4A and B, the administration of RSL3 reversed the upregulation of Nrf2, GPX4 and HO-1 induced by sipeimine.
