Biological Activity

Description Fangchinoline, a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, is a novel HIV-1 inhibitor with pain-relieving, blood pressure-depressing, and antibiotic activities.
Targets
HIV-1 [1]
In vitro
In vitro Fangchinoline (FCL) exhibits antiviral activity against HIV-1 laboratory strains NL4-3, LAI and BaL in MT-4 and PM1 cells with a 50% effective concentration ranging from 0.8 to 1.7 µM. The compound targets a late event in infection cycle. Fangchinoline inhibits HIV-1 replication by interfering with gp160 proteolytic processing[1]. FCL inhibits autophagosomes-lysosomes fusion, decreases the activities of cathepsin B and cathepsin D and affects the cellular acidification. FCL also increases the nuclear translocation of transcription factor EB (TFEB), a master regulator of autophagic and lysosomal genes, and the mRNA expressions of TFEB-targeted genes, such as SQSTM1, MAP1LC3B, and UVRAG. Knockdown of TFEB by using small inference RNA decreases the FCL-induced expression of LC3-II and the formation of GFP-LC3 puncta[2]. Fangchinoline effectively suppresses proliferation and invasion of SGC7901 cell lines, but not MKN45 cell lines by inhibiting the expression of PI3K and its downstream pathway. fangchinoline targets PI3K in tumor cells that express PI3K abundantly and inhibits the growth and invasive ability of the tumor cells[3]. Fangchinoline is also a non-specific calcium antagonist[4].
Cell Research Cell lines MT-4 cells
Concentrations 2.5 μM
Incubation Time 24 h
Method

MT-4 cells are infected with HIV-1 NL4-3 at a high MOI of 1. After incubating for 24 hours, the cells are washed and incubated with 1 µM indinavir (IDV) alone or with 1 µM IDV plus 2.5 µM fangchinoline for an additional 24 hours. Thereafter, MT-4 cells are cultured with an equal number of the C8166 cells in a culture plate in the presence of the same compounds in duplicate. After 24 hours of cocultivation, syncytium formation is examined using light microscopy.
In Vivo
In vivo Fangchinoline attenuates morphine (SC)-induced antinociception in a dose-dependent manner with significant effect at doses of 30 and 60mg/kg body wt. (IP) in the tail-flick test but not the tail-pinch tests, carried out in mice[4].
Animal Research Animal Models ICR male mice
Dosages 5, 30 and 60mg/kg

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.
