  3. Monotropein

Monotropein is an iridoid glycoside that can be isolated from the roots of Morinda officinalis. Monotropein inhibits the expression of inflammatory mediators in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mouse model. Monotropein exerts protective effects against IL-1β-induced apoptosis and catabolic responses on osteoarthritis chondrocytes. Monotropein has cartilage protective activity. Monotropein can alleviate Cisplatin (HY-17394)-induced acute kidney injury by inhibiting oxidative damage, inflammation and apoptosis through activation of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and inhibition of NF-κB signaling. Monotropein can be studied in research for osteoarthritis, acute kidney injury and acute lung injury.

Description

Monotropein is an iridoid glycoside that can be isolated from the roots of Morinda officinalis. Monotropein inhibits the expression of inflammatory mediators in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mouse model. Monotropein exerts protective effects against IL-1β-induced apoptosis and catabolic responses on osteoarthritis chondrocytes. Monotropein has cartilage protective activity. Monotropein can alleviate Cisplatin (HY-17394)-induced acute kidney injury by inhibiting oxidative damage, inflammation and apoptosis through activation of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and inhibition of NF-κB signaling. Monotropein can be studied in research for osteoarthritis, acute kidney injury and acute lung injury[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Monotropein (100 μg/mL, 24 h) decreases the apoptotic rate of chondrocytes[1].
Monotropein (25-100 μg/mL, 24 h) significantly decreases the mRNA levels of MMP-3 and MMP-13 in chondrocytes[1].
Monotropein (25-100 μg/mL, 48 h) exhibits anti-apoptosis and anti-catabolic activity and counteracts the effect of IL-1β[1].
Monotropein (Compound Mon) (0-200 μg/mL, 24 h) enhances cell viability and reduces apoptosis in LPS-treated MLE-12 cells[3].
Monotropein (12.5-100 μg/mL, 24 h) reduces inflammatory response and fibrosis induced by LPS in MLE-12 cells[3].
Monotropein (100 μg/mL, 24 h) inhibits NF-κB pathway in LPS-elicited MLE-12 cells[3].

Western Blot Analysis[3]

Cell Line: LPS-elicited MLE-12 cells
Concentration: 100 μg/mL
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Decreased the concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6.
Decreased relative protein expression of -SMA, FN, and Collagen I.
In Vivo

Monotropein (25-100 mg/kg, i.g., single dose) greatly reduces the content of IL-1β, TNF-α, and PGE2 in rat model with knee OA SF lavages[1].
Monotropein (100 mg/kg, i.g., single dose) exhibits chondroprotective effects on knee joint tissue of OA rat model[1].
Monotropein (20 mg/kg, i.p., 1 h pre-treatment and 24-48 h after) attenuates cisplatin-induced renal dysfunction and histopathological damage in AKI mouse model[2].

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

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.
