Description:

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

Boldine is an alkaloid of the aporphine class that can be found in the boldo tree and in Lindera aggregata. Boldine has antioxidant activity that effectively protects against free radical induced lipid peroxidation or enzyme inactivation. In addition, it has alpha-adrenergic antagonist activities in vascular tissue, and it has also been reported to have hepatoprotective, cytoprotective, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Product Data
Biological target:
Boldine is an aporphine isoquinoline alkaloid extracted from the root of Litsea cubeba and also possesses these properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective effects.
In vitro activity:
Quantification of SV2 puncta/20 μm process length showed a significant reduction in SV2 labeling in AβO-treated neurons (p < 0.05) and this effect was reduced when the neurons were co-incubated with AβO and 10 μM boldine (p < 0.05) (Figure 3B), suggesting a protective effect of boldine against AβO-induced synaptic damage. Moreover, incubation of the hippocampal neurons with 10 μM boldine alone had no effect on the SV2 puncta (Figures 3A,B).

In vivo activity:
Treatment of boldine protected the rat liver against reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide, superoxide, protein carbonyl and lipid peroxide during hepatocarcinogenesis by boosted antioxidants-superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT). Boldine caused substantial enhanced detoxification process by moderating phase I and II xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes. In addition, the study was found that boldine significantly inhibited the cellular proliferative markers like PCNA and Ki67 and regulated the specific cell cycle associated proteins by up-regulated expression of p21Cip1/Kip1 and p27 Cip1/Kip1 and down-regulated expression of Cyclin D1, CDK 4, Cyclin E1, and CDK 2.
