Description:

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

Corynoxeine is an alkaloid that has been found in Uncaria and has diverse biological activities. It inhibits LPS-induced production of nitric oxide in primary rat microglia. Corynoxeine inhibits PDGF-BB-induced ERK1/2 activation in, and proliferation of, rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells. It inhibits histamine release from LAD 2 mast cells induced by compound 48/80 when used at concentrations ranging from 25 to 200 µM. In vivo, corynoxeine reduces compound 48/80-induced local anaphylaxis and mast cell degranulation in mouse hind paws. Corynoxeine also reduces methamphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion in mice.

Product Data
Biological target:
Corynoxeine, isolated from the hook of Uncaria rhynchophylla, is a potent ERK1/ERK2 inhibitor of key PDGF-BB-induced vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation.
In vitro activity:
Pre-treatment of VSMCs with corynoxeine (5—50 μM) for 24 h resulted in significant decreases in cell number without any cytotoxicity; the inhibition percentages were 25.0±12.5, 63.0±27.5 and 88.0±12.5% at 5, 20 and 50 μM, respectively. Also, corynoxeine significantly inhibited the 50 ng/ml PDGF-BB-induced DNA synthesis of VSMCs in a concentration-dependent manner without any cytotoxicity; the inhibitions were 32.8±11.0, 51.8±8.0 and 76.9±7.4% at concentrations of 5, 20 and 50 μM, respectively.
