Product Description
Manzamine A HCl is an orally bioactive β-carboline alkaloid that can inhibit GSK-3β and CDK-5 with IC50s of 10.2 μM and 1.5 μM. Manzamine A HCl targets vacuolar ATPases in pancreatic cancer cells and inhibits autophagy. Manzamine A HCl has antimalarial and anti-cancer activity. Manzamine A HCl has strong activity against HSV-1.
Manzamine A hydrochloride is an orally active beta-carboline alkaloid isolated from marine sponges. It exhibits diverse biological activities including antitumor, antimicrobial, antimalarial, and antiviral properties. The compound specifically inhibits glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta) with an IC₅0 of 10.2 microM and cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK-5) with an IC₅0 of 1.5 microM. Manzamine A hydrochloride targets vacuolar ATPases and inhibits autophagy in pancreatic cancer cells. It also demonstrates potent activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1).
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
GSK-3β 10.2 μM (IC50) Plasmodium CDK5 1.5 μM (IC50) vacuolar ATPases Malaria HSV-1
Manzamine A hydrochloride targets multiple biological targets, contributing to its diverse pharmacological activities. It inhibits GSK-3beta (IC₅0 = 10.2 microM) and CDK-5 (IC₅0 = 1.5 microM), two kinases involved in cell signaling, neuronal function, and cancer. The compound also targets vacuolar ATPases (V-ATPases), which are proton pumps essential for acidifying intracellular compartments and regulating autophagy. By inhibiting V-ATPases, Manzamine A hydrochloride blocks autophagic flux, leading to the accumulation of autophagosomes and induction of cell death in pancreatic cancer cells. Its antiviral activity against HSV-1 is mediated through an unknown mechanism.
ln Vitro
Manzamine A (5-50 µM, 18 h) hydrochloride reduces tau phosphorylation as determined by ELISA[1]. Manzamine A (10 µM) hydrochloride inhibits 30% of the development of yeast S. cerevisiae[2]. In yeast, manzamine A hydrochloride exhibits a few expanded vacuoles[2]. Pancreatic cancer cells and non-malignant Vero cells exhibit increased acidity in response to manzamine A (2.5-10 µM, 24 h) hydrochloride[2]. In SIRC cells, HSV-1 infection is inhibited by manzamine A (1 µM, 24 h) hydrochloride[4]. The antimalarial activity of manzamine A hydrochloride is demonstrated by IC50 values of 8.0 nM (D6 clone) and 11 nM (W2 clone)[5].
In vitro studies demonstrate that Manzamine A hydrochloride is a potent inhibitor of GSK-3beta and CDK-5 with IC₅0 values of 10.2 microM and 1.5 microM, respectively. The compound inhibits autophagy in pancreatic cancer cells by targeting vacuolar ATPases. It exhibits antimalarial activity and anticancer activity against various cancer cell lines. Manzamine A hydrochloride also shows potent activity against HSV-1. Its in vitro activity is assessed using enzyme assays for kinase inhibition, cell viability assays, autophagy flux assays (LC3-II accumulation), and antiviral plaque reduction assays.
ln Vivo
Infected mice treated with manzamine A (50 and 100 mol/kg, po or ip) hydrochloride do not develop the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei [6]. Swine survival is extended to 20 days with manzamine A (8 mg/kg, ip, daily for 8 consecutive days) hydrochloride[7].
In vivo studies demonstrate that Manzamine A hydrochloride is orally active. It exhibits antimalarial activity in animal models and anticancer efficacy in xenograft studies. The compound also shows antiviral activity in vivo, though detailed data are limited. Its ability to inhibit autophagy and target V-ATPases contributes to its anticancer activity. The compound's oral bioavailability makes it a promising lead for drug development. In vivo efficacy is typically assessed by measuring tumor growth inhibition, parasite clearance, or viral load reduction in appropriate animal models.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Manzamine A hydrochloride involve measuring its inhibition of GSK-3beta and CDK-5 kinase activity. The assay typically uses purified recombinant kinases, a peptide substrate, and ATP. The compound is incubated with the enzyme and substrates at 30degC, and phosphorylation is quantified by scintillation counting using radiolabeled ATP or by ELISA. IC₅0 values are calculated from dose-response curves. V-ATPase inhibition is assessed by measuring proton pump activity using isolated membrane fractions or purified V-ATPase, with ATPase activity measured colorimetrically.
Cell Assay
Cell Viability Assay[4]
Cell Types: SIRC cell
Tested Concentrations: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 µM
Incubation Duration: 72 h
Experimental Results: Inhibited SIRC cell viability with an IC50 of 5.6 µM.
Cellular assays for Manzamine A hydrochloride are conducted using cancer cell lines, particularly pancreatic cancer cells, to evaluate its effects on autophagy, cell viability, and apoptosis. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of the compound (typically 0.1-100 microM) for 24-72 hours. Autophagy is assessed by measuring LC3-II accumulation, p62 degradation, and autophagosome formation using Western blotting or immunofluorescence microscopy. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or similar assays. Apoptosis is evaluated by Annexin V/PI staining or caspase activity. Antiviral activity against HSV-1 is assessed using plaque reduction assays in Vero cells.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Plasmodium berghei in infected mice[6]
Doses: 50 or 100 mol/kg
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip)injection or oral administration (po)
Experimental Results: Inhibited the growth of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei. Prolonged the survival of highly parasitaemic mice.
In vivo animal studies with Manzamine A hydrochloride are conducted in models of malaria, cancer, and viral infection. For antimalarial studies, mice infected with Plasmodium species are treated with the compound orally at various doses, and parasitemia is monitored. For anticancer studies, xenograft models using pancreatic cancer cell lines are employed, with tumor growth inhibition measured. For antiviral studies, animal models of HSV-1 infection may be used, though detailed protocols are limited. Pharmacokinetic studies are also performed to assess oral bioavailability and tissue distribution.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Manzamine A hydrochloride demonstrate that the compound is orally active. Its molecular weight is 585.22 g/mol and its molecular formula is C3₆H4₅ClN4O. The hydrochloride salt enhances aqueous solubility. Following oral administration, the compound is absorbed and distributed to various tissues, including the brain. Its pharmacokinetic profile is characteristic of beta-carboline alkaloids, with potential for good bioavailability. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, and AUC are not extensively reported in the available literature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Manzamine A hydrochloride are limited, as the compound is primarily used as a research tool. The compound is not intended for human therapeutic use and is supplied for research purposes only. In cell-based assays, the compound exhibits cytotoxic activity against cancer cells at micromolar concentrations, suggesting potential toxicity at higher doses. In animal studies, the compound is generally well-tolerated at standard dosing ranges, though specific toxicity profiles are not extensively reported. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.
