Description

(-)-Securinine is plant-derived alkaloid and also a GABAA receptor antagonist.

IC50 & Target

GABAA receptor[1]
In Vitro

(-)-Securinine is a major plant-derived alkaloid and also a GABAA receptor antagonist. (-)-Securinine is significantly potent on HeLa cells growth inhibition with IC50 values of 7.02±0.52 μg/mL (32.3 μM). (-)-Securinine induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner in the tested cells, increases the percentage of ROS positive cells and depolarized cells as well as stimulates the activity of ERK1/2, caspase-9 and -3/7. (-)-Securinine also induces cell cycle arrest in S phase. Real-time PCR analysis shows high expression of tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) genes in the cells stimulated with (-)-Securinine[1].

(-)-Securinine Related Antibodies
In Vivo

In this tumor model, tumor growth is significantly impaired with (-)-Securinine treatment indicating that (-)-Securinine has potential as an Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) therapeutic. (-)-Securinine treated mice (n=5 mice, bilateral tumors), exhibit an average of more than 75% smaller tumors than vehicle treated mice at the end of the study period[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.51 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.51 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Kinase Assay
[1]

The cells are seeded in 12-well plates (1×105/well) and treated with (-)-Securinine at concentrations of 1.0 to 50.0 μg/mL. The control cells are exposed to DMSO at a concentration of 0.5% (v/v). After 6 h and 24 h of exposure, the activity of caspase-9 is measured by Caspase-Glo 9 Assay Kit and Glomax Multi+ Detection System, according to the manufacturer’s instruction. The activity of caspase-3/7 is assessed after 24 h of exposure the cells to (-)-Securinine. Then the cells are harvested and prepared using Muse Caspase-3/7 Assay Kit according with the manufacturer’s protocol. The stained cells are analyzed by Muse Cell Analyzer. The experiments are performed at least in three independent repeats[1].

Cell Assay
[1]

The viability of the cells is determined by MTT assay. HeLa cells are seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 5×103 cells/well and treated for 24 h with (-)-Securinine in the concentration range of 1.0 to 20.0 μg/mL. The maximal concentrations of the solvents used in all the MTT experiments are 5.0% (v/v) and 1.0% (v/v) for methanol and DMSO, respectively. The absorption of the obtained formazan solution is measured with a plate reader. The viability results are presented as IC50 mean values of at least three independent experiments[1].

Animal Administration
[2]

6 week old female nude mice are used and injected bilaterally s.c. with 10×106 HL-60 cells. (-)-Securinine treatment is started 10 days after tumor cell injection. Palpable tumors are present for the established tumor model prior to initiating drug treatment. 15 mg/kg of (-)-Securinine or vehicle (30 µL of DMSO and 70 µL of water) are injected i.p. 2 or 3 times a day for 5 days followed by once a day for two days. This injection schedule is repeated for two additional weeks[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
