Product Description

Sinomenine (Coculine; Cucoline; Kukoline) is a naturally occuring alkaloid found in the root of the climbing plant Sinomenium acutum which is native to Japan and China. It is traditionally used in herbal medicine in these countries, as a treatment for rheumatism and arthritis. However, its analgesic action against other kinds of pain is limited. Sinomenine is a morphinan derivative, related to opioids such as levorphanol and the non-opioid cough suppressant dextromethorphan.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Tanshinone IIA has anti-tumor properties such as increasing tumor cell death, decreasing short-term cell proliferation, altering the tumor cell cycle, and so on. Tanshinone IIA demonstrates anti-tumor actions on A549 cells; at 24, 48, and 72 hours, the IC50 of tanshinone IIA was 145.3, 30.95, and 11.49 μM, respectively. The proliferative activity of A549 cells treated with tanshinone IIA (2.5 - 80 μM) for 24, 48, and 72 hours, respectively, was assessed using the CCK-8 assay. The CCK-8 results shown that tanshinone IIA may, in a dose- and time-inhibitory manner, strongly suppress the growth of A549 cells. After 48 days of medication therapy, significant reduction of A549 cell growth and concentration was detected (concentration trace IC50 values used: Tanshinone IIA 31 μM vs. A549). Using Western blotting, it was discovered that both drug-treated groups expressed VEGF and VEGFR2 48 hours after subjecting A549 cells to tanshinone IIA (31 μM) as opposed to the vehicle [1]. The most prevalent ingredient in Salvia miltiorrhiza root is tanshinone IIA. Tanshinone IIA H9C2 cells express transcribed PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog), a protein that functions in cells, which causes angiotensin II-induced cellular fluorescence. important impediment. By phosphorylating phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) expression, tanshinone IIA suppresses cytokines that are produced by angiotensin II (AngII) [2]. Tanshinone IIA promotes PI3K/Akt/mTOR luster and decreases the expression of the EGFR and IGFR proteins in AGS cells [3].
ln Vivo
The cognitive impairment caused by scopolamine is significantly reversed by tanshinone IIA (10 or 20 mg/kg; sidewall) [4]. By blocking PERK signaling, tanshinone IIA (2, 4, 8 mg/kg; i.p.) may reduce endoplasmic reticulum daytime, which may be linked to the mediated protective effect on STZ-induced diabetic nephropathy [5]. Ectopic protein intima development is markedly inhibited by tanshinone IIA (3 and 12 mg/kg; ip) [6].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male ICR mice (25–30 g)[4]

Animal/Disease Models: Female SD (SD (Sprague-Dawley)) rats (180 -200g) [6]
Doses: 3 and 12 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
