| ln Vitro |
In a voltage- and frequency-dependent way, cycleanine suppresses the L-type Ca-current (ICaL) of single rat ventricular cardiomyocytes[1]. Cycleanine is slightly less effective than cancer cells against normal human OSE cells[2]. For Ovcar-8, A2780, Igrov-1, and Ovcar-4 cell lines, (20 μM; 48 hours) demonstrates cytotoxicity with IC50s ranging from 7 to 14 μM[2]. Significant PARP cleavage, a hallmark of apoptosis, is caused by cycleanine (20 μM; 24 hours)[2]. Cycleanine (20 μM; 48 hours) significantly increases the population of cells that undergo early and late apoptosis[2]. Cytotoxicity Assay for Cycleanine Cells [2] Cell line: Igrov-1, A2780, Ovcar-8, and Ovcar-4 cells. Focus: 20 micrograms 48-hour incubation period Result shown cytotoxicity against Ovcar-8, A2780, Igrov-1, and Ovcar-4 cell lines, with IC50 values of 10 μM, 7.6 μM, 14 μM, and 7.2 μM, in that order.
In vitro studies demonstrate that cycleanine selectively inhibits the growth of OVCAR-8, A2780, and IGROV-1 cancer cell lines. The compound has potent antibacterial, antifungal, antiplasmodial, and cytotoxic activities. Cycleanine is a potent vasculoselective Ca-antagonist with pain-relieving, muscle-relaxing, and anti-inflammatory activities. The compound may be used to exert anti-ovarian cancer effects through the apoptotic pathway. |
| ln Vivo |
At an IC50 of 0.8 nM, cycleanine prevents rabbit aortic ring contraction caused by KCl[1].
No detailed in vivo activity data has been published for cycleanine as a therapeutic agent. The compound has been primarily characterized in vitro as an alkaloid with anticancer and antimalarial activities. Its ability to selectively inhibit cancer cell growth and its antiplasmodial activity suggest that it could have potential for in vivo applications in cancer and malaria. Further studies would be needed to evaluate its efficacy in animal models. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The calcium channel antagonistic activity of cycleanine can be assessed using electrophysiology or calcium flux assays. In a typical assay, cells expressing calcium channels are treated with varying concentrations of cycleanine, and calcium influx is measured using fluorescent calcium indicators. The compound's ability to inhibit calcium channel activity is assessed. The apoptotic activity of cycleanine can be assessed using cell-based apoptosis assays.
