Product Data
Biological target:
Senecionine decreases the activities of glutathione S-transferase, aminopyrine demethylase and arylhydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH).
In vitro activity:
In vitro experiments with senecionine, a pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA), were conducted using primary mouse hepatocytes and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs). However, upon metabolic activation by primary mouse hepatocytes, senecionine exhibited cytotoxicity to cultivated LSECs with an EC50 of approximately 22 µM. The study confirmed the cytochrome P450 (CYP)-dependency of senecionine bioactivation, revealing that toxic metabolites are generated by hepatic CYPs.

In vivo activity:
This study investigated the metabolism, bioactivation, detoxication, and toxicity variations among senecionine, adonifoline, and other pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Significant pharmacokinetic differences were observed between intravenous and oral administrations of senecionine and adonifoline, with fast absorption, lower bioavailability, and rapid metabolism to PA N-oxides and hydroxylation products. The higher N-oxygenation activity and pronounced toxicity of senecionine, compared to adonifoline, in rats raised questions about the potential relationship between SEN's elevated metabolic rate and its potent toxicity in vivo.
