Veratramine

Synonyms: NSC 17821, NSC 23880

Veratramine (NSC 17821, NSC 23880), a major alkaloid from Veratrum nigrum L., has distinct anti-tumor and anti-hypertension effects. It is a good membrane permeant, undergoes rapid passive diffusion, and has a good stability in the gastrointestinal tract during its absorption.

Biological Activity

Description Veratramine (NSC 17821, NSC 23880), a major alkaloid from Veratrum nigrum L., has distinct anti-tumor and anti-hypertension effects. It is a good membrane permeant, undergoes rapid passive diffusion, and has a good stability in the gastrointestinal tract during its absorption.
In vitro
In vitro Veratramine antagonizes the Na+ channel-gating mechanism of ceveratrum alkaloids by blocking Na+ channels. Veratramine also shows serotonin (5-HT) agonist activity, acting on presynaptic 5-HT neurons[1].
In Vivo
In vivo The administration of vertatramine induces generalized tremors, myoclonus, hindlimb abduction, backward gait, and Straub tail, similar to the 5-HT syndrome in mice. Veratramine causes bradycardia and periodic rhythm in the sinoatrial node of the guinea pig. The lethal dose 50% (LD50) of VAM for mice is 15.9 mg/kg with intragastrical administration [1]. Vertatramine causes DNA damage in the cerebellum and cerebral cortex of mice in a dose-dependent manner. As a major Veratrum alkaloid, veratramine (VAM) is significantly effective against hypertension by reflective inhibition of vasomotor center and tumor as an antagonist of the hedgehog signaling. Vertatramine may exert neurotoxic effects[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.
