Protopine

Synonyms: Corydinine, Fumarine, Biflorine, Macleyine

Protopine (Corydinine, Fumarine, Biflorine, Macleyine), an alkaloid present in different plants, has been shown to exhibit a number of activities, such as inhibition of calcium influx through both voltage and receptor-operated channels and inhibition of rabbit blood platelet aggregation. It also possesses anti-cholinergic and anti-histaminic as well as anti-bacterial activities.

Biological Activity

Description Protopine (Corydinine, Fumarine, Biflorine, Macleyine), an alkaloid present in different plants, has been shown to exhibit a number of activities, such as inhibition of calcium influx through both voltage and receptor-operated channels and inhibition of rabbit blood platelet aggregation. It also possesses anti-cholinergic and anti-histaminic as well as anti-bacterial activities.
In vitro
In vitro Protopine is found to be cytoprotective against oxidative stress-induced cell death in vitro. It inhibits several human CYP enzymes and is reported to be potent inhibitors of CYP2D6 and to suppress, albeit with less potency, the activities of CYP3A4, CYP1A2, and CYP2B6 as well. Protopine also inhibits CYP2C19[1]. Protopine is a novel microtubule stabilizer with anticancer activity in HRPC cells through apoptotic pathway by modulating Cdk1 activity and Bcl-2 family of proteins[2]. Protopine inhibits serotonin and noradrenaline transporter with IC50 values of 0.94 and 19.5 μM. The inhibiting effect of protopine on serotonin uptake (Ki = 0.92 μM) is stronger than that of protopine on NE uptake (Ki = 19.26 μM[3].
Cell Research Cell lines HepG2 cells
Concentrations 1-75 μM
Incubation Time 24 h
Method The cells are grown in 75cm2 flasks and sub-cultured before confluence. For all experiments, with the exception of gene reporter assays, HepG2 cells (passages 5–15) are seeded in the complete culture medium at a density of 1×105 cells/cm2. After overnight stabilization, cells are treated with the tested alkaloids or 5 nM TCDD (positive control). Negative controls are treated with 0.1% (v/v) DMSO only.
In Vivo
In vivo A pharmacokinetic study in rats after oral administration of a single dose of Rhizoma Corydalis Decumbentis extract, equivalent to 15.4 mg of protopine per kg of body weight, shows that the maximum plasma level of protopine reaches 348 ng/ml, i.e. 0.98 μM. In a similar study on rabbits, the maximum plasma concentration of protopine is 1.03 g/ml, i.e. 2.91 μM[1]. Protopine may be a potential therapeuticagent of antidepressant which targeted on SERT and NET in mice models. It has an antidepressant-like effect on animal models[3].

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.
