Description:

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

Monotropein is an iridoid glycoside. It increases cell viability and migration of bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (BM-EPCs), inhibits apoptosis, and reduces levels of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) and MMP-13 in chondrocytes. It inhibits LPS-induced nuclear translocation of NF-κB and reduces COX-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), TNF-α, and IL-1β mRNA expression in RAW 264.7 cells. Monotropein also reduces colonic myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, COX-2 and iNOS mRNA expression, and disease severity in a mouse model of ulcerative colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). It increases bone mineral content, bone mineral density, and improves bone microstructure in ovariectomized mice when administered at doses of 40 or 80 mg/kg. Monotropein decreases macrophage infiltration and wound healing time and increases blood vessel formation in a rat model of wound healing.

Product Data
Biological target:
Monotropein is an iridoid glycoside isolated Morinda officinalis.
In vitro activity:
The anti-apoptotic and anti-catabolic effects of monotropein on rat OA chondrocytes treated by IL-1β were investigated in vitro. In cultured chondrocytes, monotropein attenuated apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner in response to IL-1β stimulation. Moreover, treatment with monotropein, the expressions of MMP-3 and MMP-13 were significantly decreased, the expression of COL2A1 was increased. Reference: Int Immunopharmacol. 2014 Dec;23(2):575-80. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25466264/
In vivo activity:
This study aimed to explore the role of MON (monotropein) in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity. This study showed that MON treatment mitigated DOX-induced myocardial damage and improved cardiac dysfunction. In addition, DOX-treated mice displayed higher levels of inflammation and oxidative stress, while MON treatment also reversed these pathological changes. Moreover, DOX-treated mice were more susceptible to ventricular fibrillation, whereas MON reduced ventricular fibrillation incidence.
