Product Description
Cinnabarinic acid is an mGlu4-specific allosteric agonist that can interact with the glutamate-binding pocket residues of mGlu4 and has no activity on other mGlu receptor subtypes. Cinnabarinic acid is an endogenously produced metabolite of the tryptophan kynurenine pathway. Cinnabarinic acid can cause apoptosis.
Cinnabarinic acid (CAS 606-59-7), also known as cinnabaric acid, is a naturally occurring phenazine derivative produced by fungi, particularly from the genus Pycnoporus. It is a red-orange pigment and has been studied for its biological activities, including antimicrobial, anticancer, and immunomodulatory properties. It is a derivative of phenazine-1,6-dicarboxylic acid.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
mGluR4
The primary targets of Cinnabarinic acid include various enzymes and cellular pathways. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, and it exhibits cytotoxic effects against cancer cell lines. It may also interact with immune cells, modulating cytokine production and inflammatory responses. The compound's mechanism of action is thought to involve oxidative stress and DNA damage.
ln Vitro
Measurements of [3H]InsP production reveal that cinnabarinic acid (0-100 μM) does not activate mGlu1, mGlu2, mGlu5, mGlu6, mGlu7, and mGlu8 receptors. Cinnabarinic acid, on the other hand, functions as a partial agonist of mGlu4 receptors by raising [3H]InsP formation by about 35% at 100 μM. This means that it is five times less effective than ACPT-I at activating mGlu4 receptors in HEK293 cells transiently transfected with rat mGlu1, -2, -4, -5, -6, -7, or -8 receptors[1]. With remarkable potency and efficacy, cinnabarinic acid (0-100 μM) decreases the production of cAMP in a concentration-dependent manner. Cinnabarinic acid significantly reduces the synthesis of cAMP in cultured cerebellar granule cells at 30 μM, where it is effective[1].
In vitro, Cinnabarinic acid demonstrates antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, with MIC values in the range of 10-50 µg/mL. It also shows cytotoxic effects against several cancer cell lines, including HeLa and MCF-7 cells, with IC50 values typically in the micromolar range. The compound has been studied for its ability to induce apoptosis and arrest the cell cycle.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity of Cinnabarinic acid has been reported in some animal models, showing anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. However, detailed pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies are limited. The compound is primarily studied in vitro, and further in vivo investigations are needed to confirm its therapeutic potential.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Cinnabarinic acid are not well established. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is performed using broth microdilution to determine MIC values. Cytotoxicity assays are conducted on cancer cell lines using MTT or SRB assays. The compound is typically tested at concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 µM.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for Cinnabarinic acid involve testing its effects on cell viability, apoptosis, and immune cell function. Cancer cell lines are treated with serial dilutions of the compound, and cell viability is assessed. Apoptosis is evaluated by Annexin V/PI staining and caspase activity. Immune cell cytokine production is measured by ELISA.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Cinnabarinic acid are limited. Some studies have used mouse models of inflammation to evaluate its anti-inflammatory effects, with administration via intraperitoneal injection at doses of 1-10 mg/kg. Detailed protocols are not widely reported.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Cinnabarinic acid has a molecular formula of C14H8N2O5 and a molecular weight of 284.22. It appears as a red-orange solid with a purity of ≥95%. It is soluble in DMSO and ethanol, but poorly soluble in water. The compound should be stored at -20°C, protected from light, and is stable for up to 1 year under dry conditions. It is intended for research use only and is not for human consumption.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Cinnabarinic acid has not been extensively characterized. As a natural phenazine, it is generally considered to have moderate toxicity. Standard toxicity studies would include acute oral toxicity, repeated-dose toxicity, and genotoxicity in animal models. The compound is intended for research use only and is not approved for clinical use.
