Product Description
9-Methoxycamptothecin (MCPT), extracted from Camptotheca acuminata, exerts anti-tumor activity by inhibiting topoisomerase. 9-Methoxycamptothecin (MCPT) has a strong effect on inducing apoptosis of G2/M phase cells and cancer/tumor cells.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Topoisomerase I [1]
ln Vitro
MCPT inhibited the viability of murine sarcoma S180 cells in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 value of (0.385 ± 0.08) μM after 24 h treatment, while camptothecin (CPT) showed an IC50 value of (0.904 ± 0.14) μM under the same conditions [1].

MCPT induced apoptosis in murine sarcoma S180 cells as determined by Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide double staining. After 24 h treatment with 0, 0.19, 0.38, and 0.95 μM MCPT, the apoptosis rates increased from 9.5% to 17.27%, 30.14%, and 66.46%, respectively. The number of early and middle apoptotic cells increased in a dose-dependent manner [1].

Real-time PCR analysis showed that MCPT decreased Bcl-2 mRNA levels and increased Bax mRNA levels in murine sarcoma S180 cells. After treatment with 0, 0.19, 0.38, and 0.95 μM MCPT for 24 h, the relative Bax expression increased from 1 to 1.13, 1.82, and 3.79, respectively, while the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio increased from 1 to 1.61, 2.43, and 4.57, respectively [1].
Cell Assay
Murine sarcoma S180 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 μg/mL streptomycin and 100 U/mL penicillin at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2 [1].

For the MTT cytotoxicity assay, cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 5 × 10³ cells per well and exposed to serial concentrations of MCPT and CPT for 24 h. Then, 5 μL of MTT solution (5 mg/mL) was added to each well and the plates were incubated for another 4 h at 37°C under 5% CO2. The cells were collected and solubilized with 150 μL DMSO for 15 min. The absorbance at 570 nm was determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reader [1].

For flow cytometric apoptosis analysis, murine sarcoma S180 cells were treated with 0, 0.19, 0.38, and 0.95 μM MCPT for 24 h. Cells were collected, washed twice with cold phosphate buffered saline, and 2 × 10⁵ cells were resuspended in 500 μL binding buffer, then stained with 5 μL Annexin V-FITC and 5 μL propidium iodide for 10 min at 25°C in the dark. Cell death was quantified by flow cytometry, and data acquisition and analysis were performed using flow cytometry software [1].

For quantitative real-time PCR, total RNA of murine sarcoma S180 cells treated with different concentrations of MCPT for 24 h was extracted using TRIzol reagent. cDNA was synthesized using a reverse transcription kit. Real-time PCR was performed on a sequence detector system using specific primers for Bcl-2 (forward: 5'-CAT TGG GAA GTT TCA AAT CAG C-3', reverse: 5'-CTT TGC ATT CTT GGA CGA GG-3'), Bax (forward: 5'-TTG CTT CAG GGT TTC ATC CA-3', reverse: 5'-CAG CCT TGA GCA CCA GTT TG-3'), and actin (forward: 5'-GTC CAC CGC AAA TGC TTC TA-3', reverse: 5'-TGC TGT CAC CTT CAC CGT TC-3'). The PCR mixture was pre-heated for 2 min at 50°C and 95°C, then underwent 40 cycles of amplification: 95°C for 15 s, 58°C for 15 s, 72°C for 45 s, and a final extension at 72°C for 10 min. All determinations were performed in triplicate [1].

Additional Infomation
9-Methoxycamptothecin is a pyranoindoquinoline compound. It has been reported to exist in Hedyotis diffusa, Norhabditis nimodii, and other organisms with relevant data.
MCPT is a C9-substituted lipophilic derivative of camptothecin isolated from Nothapodytes foetida (collected from Hubei Province, China). The compound was identified by NMR spectroscopy and LC-MS, with purity over 95%. The IC50 value of MCPT against murine sarcoma S180 cells was (0.385 ± 0.08) μM, showing better antitumor activity than camptothecin (IC50 = 0.904 ± 0.14 μM). The apoptosis rate induced by MCPT at 0.95 μM was 66.46% after 24 h treatment. MCPT increased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that the mitochondria pathway may be involved in MCPT-induced apoptosis. The study suggests that MCPT is a topoisomerase I inhibitor but may also involve additional mechanisms beyond topoisomerase I inhibition [1].
