Description

Kamebakaurin is an orally active diterpenoid compound that can be isolated from Isodon excia (Maxin.). Kamebakaurin can inhibit NF-κB activation by directly targeting the DNA-binding activity of p50. Kamebakaurin can induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in tumor cells. Kamebakaurin has anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Kamebakaurin (0-10 μg/mL; 8.5 h) can inhibit the expression of NF-κB reporter genes and DNA-binding activities induced by TNF-α, Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (HY-18739), and LPS (HY-D1056) in a dose-dependent manner in various cells such as Jurkat and THP-1[1].
Kamebakaurin (0-10 μg/mL; 3.5-48 h) can inhibit the expression of TNF-α-induced NF-κB target genes and induce apoptosis, significantly enhancing caspase-8 activity in MCF-7 cells[1].
Kamebakaurin (0-30 μM; 12 h) can significantly inhibit the accumulation of hypoxia-induced HIF-1α protein in the cell nucleus of HCT116 cells, as well as inhibit the expression of HIF-1α target genes VEGF and EPO, and can induce cell cycle arrest[2].

Inhibited the cyclin D1 and c-Myc protein level.
In Vivo

Kamebakaurin (15-50 mg/kg; oral administration; every other day; 40 days) exhibits anti-tumor activity in a mouse model of colon cancer[2].
Kamebakaurin (100 mg/kg; oral administration; 7 days) can inhibit Acetaminophen (APAP) (HY-66005)-induced hepatotoxicity when used for pretreatment in C57BL/6J mice[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Crj:BALB/c nu/nu female athymic nude mice aged six weeks old treated HCT116 cells[2]
Dosage: 15 and 50 mg/kg
Administration: Oral administration; every other day for 40 days
Result: Significantly inhibited the growth of HCT116 cells in the xenograft tumor model at a dose of 50 mg/kg.
Significantly decreased the protein levels of HIF-1α in the tumors, while having no significant effect on Topo-I levels
Significantly decreased the serum VEGF levels in a dose-dependent manner.
Animal Model: Female C57BL/6J mice aged 6 weeks old treated APAP(HY-66005)[2]
Dosage: 100 mg/kg
Administration: Oral administration; 7 days
Result: Significantly reduced the increases in plasma levels of hepatic injury markers (ALT and AST) induced by APAP.
Eliminated the APAP-induced upregulation of hepatic MDA levels and significantly decreased the GSH depletion caused by APAP.
Attenuated the APAP-induced increase in hepatic and plasma TNFα levels, and there was a tendency for a decrease in IL-6 mRNA levels.
Showed antioxidant capacity, with its total antioxidant power increasing in a dose-dependent manner, although its radical scavenging activity was relatively small
Did not significantly change the expression of hepatic CYP2e1 and CYP1a2 mRNA.

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 (7.13 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 (7.13 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.

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.
