Berbamine dihydrochloride

Synonyms: BA, BBM

Berbamine (BA, BBM) dihydrochloride, a traditional Chinese medicines extracted from Berberis amurensis (xiaoboan), is a novel inhibitor of bcr/abl fusion gene with potent anti-leukemia activity and also an inhibitor of NF-κB. Berbamine (BA, BBM) dihydrochloride induces apoptosis in human myeloma cells and inhibits the growth of cancer cells by targeting Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII).

Berbamine (BBM) potently suppresses liver cancer cell proliferation and induces cancer cell death by targeting Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CAMKII). Through targeting CAMKII, BBM's inhibition on cancer cells might have broader effects beyond affecting JAK/STAT3 and p210bcr-abl, because CAMKIIγ directly impacts many other signal pathways including STAT1, NF-κB, JNK, ERK1/2, FOXO1, and Wnt/β-catenin[1]. BBM can effectively inhibit tumor metastasis by suppressing cell proliferation, migration and invasion in highly metastatic breast cancer cells under in vitro condition[2]. Berbamine inhibits proliferation of K562-r cells both in vitro and in vivo. Berbamine-induced apoptosis in K562-r cells appear to occur through a mechanism involving Bcl-2 family proteins, as well as mdr-1 mRNA and P-gp protein. Berbamine in combination restore the chemo-sensitivity of K562-r cells[3].

Cell Research Cell lines epithelial liver cancer cell lines, including Huh7, HepG2, MHCC97H, and PLC/PRF/5
Concentrations 0-80 μg/ml
Incubation Time 72 h
Method

Cell proliferation is assayed 72 hours after BBM treatment for liver cancer cells with epithelial morphology.

In Vivo
In vivo

BBM inhibits the in vivo tumorigenicity of liver cancer cells in NOD/SCID mice, and down-regulated the self-renewal abilities of liver cancer initiating cells[1]. BBM shows its anticancer activity by induction of apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and reversing multidrug resistance. Though BBM is a potent drug but its half-life in blood plasma is very short, owing to its quick renal clearance[2].

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
