  3. Osthenol

Osthenol (Ostenol) is a reversible, selective, competitive inhibitor of hMAO-A (IC50=0.74 μM, Ki=0.26 μM), with antifungal and antibacterial activity. Osthenol inhibits the oxidative deamination of hMAO-A and regulates the metabolism of monoamine neurotransmitters. Osthenol also inhibits the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to induce apoptosis of colon cancer cells, arrest the cell cycle at the G1 phase, and inhibit cell proliferation. Osthenol is mainly used in the study of neurological diseases and cancer, especially depression-related MAO-A targeted intervention and colon cancer.

Osthenol (25-100 μM; 24-48 h) significantly inhibits cell proliferation, induces apoptosis, arrests the cell cycle at the G1 phase and inhibits cell migration in HCT116 human colon cancer cells assay[2].
Osthenol has antifungal activity with MICs of 125 μg/mL against Fusarium solani and 250 μg/mL against Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus[3].
Osthenol is effective against Gram-positive bacteria with MICs of 125-62.5 μg/mL[4].

Apoptosis Analysis[2]

Cell Line: Apoptosis Assay (HCT116 Cells) HCT116
Concentration: 25-100 μM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Total apoptotic cells rose from 7.06% (control) to 30.12% (25 μM), 33.11% (50 μM), and 52.5% (100 μM).
Dose-dependently increased the activation of caspase-3, -8, and -9 (cleaved caspase levels increasing).
In Vivo

Osthenol (5 mg/kg; intravenous injection; single dose) has a rapid distribution characteristic in male ICR mice, with initial blood concentration C0=14.3 μg/mL, T1/2=47.0 min, AUClast=211.5 μg·min/mL, MRTlast=22.5 min[5].
Osthenol (5 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg; oral gavage; single dose) has extremely low bioavailability in male ICR mice (0.43% and 0.02%, respectively), and is rapidly metabolized to sulfonylated (M1) and glucuronidated (M2) conjugates after oral administration[5].

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 (10.86 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    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 (10.86 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.
