Description:

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

Oxysophocarpine is an alkaloid from S. flavescens that has neuroprotective, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties. It increases cell survival and decreases lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in rat primary hippocampal neurons in a model of oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion injury when used at concentrations of 1, 2, and 5 μM. Oxysophocarpine inhibits proliferation and reduces migration and invasion of SCC-9 and SCC-15 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells in vitro. It reduces tumor growth in an SCC-9 mouse xenograft model and inhibits xylene-induced ear swelling and carrageenan-induced paw edema. It also reduces carrageenan-induced decreases in the paw withdrawal threshold and prevents carrageenan-induced increases in paw tissue levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in mice when administered at a dose of 80 mg/kg.

Product Data
Biological target:
Oxysophocarpine is an alkaloid.
In vitro activity:
The expression levels of Nrf2 in OSCC (oral squamous cell carcinoma) tissues and in cell lines were much higher than in non-cancerous tissues and normal oral keratinocytes. OSC (oxysophocarpine) reduced the expression of Nrf2 and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) in OSCC cells. OSC also inhibited proliferation, migration, invasion, and pro-angiogenesis of OSCC cells. Moreover, OSC induced cell cycle arrest, enhanced apoptosis of OSCC cells in vitro. Reference: Cell Physiol Biochem. 2018;49(5):1717-1733. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30231242/
In vivo activity:
The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-nociceptive effects of OSC (oxysophocarpine) through systemic and intracerebroventricular administration in mice. The warm water tail-flick test, the hot‑plate test, acetic acid-induced abdominal constriction and formalin‑induced pain were used in mice. OSC was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) or intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.). Results showed that OSC (80 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly increased the tail withdrawal threshold with a peak effect of 25.46% maximal possible effect (MPE) at 60 min (P﹤0.01).
