Product Data
Biological target:
Mesaconitine is the main active component of genus aconitum plants.
In vitro activity:
In HUVECs, 30 microM mesaconitine increased the [Ca(2+)](i) level in the presence of extracellular CaCl(2) and NaCl, and the response was inhibited by KBR7943. Mesaconitine increased intracellular Na(+) concentration level in HUVECs. Reference: Eur J Pharmacol. 2004 Jan 12;483(2-3):139-46. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14729101/
In vivo activity:
Metabolomic and network toxicology methods were combined to explore the effect of MA (mesaconitine) on the liver of SD rats and the mechanism of hepatotoxicity in this study. Based on network toxicological analysis, MA can affect HIF-1 signal pathway, MAPK signal pathway, PI3K-Akt signal pathway and FoxO signal pathway by regulating ALB, AKT1, CASP3, IL2 and other targets. Western blot results showed that protein expression of HMOX1, IL2 and caspase-3 in liver significantly increased after MA administration (p < 0.05).
