Product Description
Paeoniflorigenone is an active ingredient found in tree bark and has selective induction of apoptosis and anti-proliferation in tumor cells.
Paeoniflorigenone (CAS 80454-42-8) is a monoterpene compound isolated primarily from the roots of Paeonia species, including Paeonia lactiflora and Paeonia suffruticosa (also known as moutan cortex). It is an active ingredient found in tree bark and has selective induction of apoptosis and anti-proliferation in tumor cells. Paeoniflorigenone induces apoptosis selectively in cancer cell lines and exhibits antiproliferative effects. It is also described as a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent, similar to succinylcholine. Paeoniflorigenone has a molecular weight of 318.325 and the chemical formula C17H18O6.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Paeoniflorigenone targets multiple cellular pathways involved in cancer progression and neuromuscular function. It induces apoptosis selectively in cancer cell lines through mechanisms involving caspase activation and DNA fragmentation. The compound exhibits antiproliferative effects by inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. As a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent similar to succinylcholine, paeoniflorigenone may interact with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction. Both Paeoniae Radix and Moutan Cortex, from which paeoniflorigenone is derived, have been used as remedies for cardiovascular diseases and for improving blood circulation. The compound's selective activity against tumor cells while sparing normal cells suggests specificity in its mechanism of action.
ln Vitro
Paeoniflorigenone (0–30 μM; 0-72 hours) dramatically reduces tumor cell line proliferation while inhibiting normal cell line proliferation[1]. Selective apoptotic DNA fragmentation in tumor cells is significantly induced by pheoniflorigenone (0-30 μM) over a 24-72-hour period[1].
In vitro, paeoniflorigenone (0-30 µM; 24-72 hours) significantly reduces tumor cell line proliferation while having less effect on normal cell lines. The compound significantly induces apoptotic DNA fragmentation selectively in tumor cells. Paeoniflorigenone has been shown to induce DNA fragmentation in three tumor cell lines (TIG-1, 3T3-L1, HL60, Jurkat, and HeLa cells) but not in two normal cell lines. This selective induction of apoptosis in cancer cells is a key feature of its anticancer activity. The compound's antiproliferative effect is dose- and time-dependent, with increasing inhibition observed at higher concentrations and longer incubation times. Its activity as a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent has also been characterized in vitro.
ln Vivo
In vivo, paeoniflorigenone's biological activities have been studied primarily in the context of its traditional use in Paeonia species for cardiovascular diseases and blood circulation improvement. The compound's selective induction of apoptosis in tumor cells suggests potential anticancer activity that could be explored in animal tumor models. However, detailed in vivo efficacy and safety data are limited. The compound's neuromuscular blocking activity may have implications for its effects on motor function. Further research is needed to fully characterize its in vivo biological activity, therapeutic potential, and safety profile. Researchers should consult the primary literature for available in vivo data.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro biochemical assays, paeoniflorigenone is evaluated for its effects on apoptosis and cell proliferation. Apoptosis induction is assessed by measuring caspase 3/7 activity using fluorogenic substrates, DNA fragmentation using gel electrophoresis or TUNEL assays, and phosphatidylserine exposure using Annexin V binding. Cell proliferation is measured using MTT, SRB, or BrdU incorporation assays. Neuromuscular blocking activity can be assessed using isolated nerve-muscle preparations or by measuring effects on acetylcholine receptor function. Receptor binding assays can be performed to assess interactions with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. These cell-free and cell-based assays help characterize the compound's pro-apoptotic, antiproliferative, and neuromuscular activities.
Cell Assay
Cell Proliferation Assay[1]
Cell Types: TIG-1, 3T3-L1, HL60, Jurkat and HeLa cells
Tested Concentrations: 0-30 μM
Incubation Duration: 0-72 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Dramatically diminished the cell proliferation of tumor cell lines and inhibited the proliferation of normal cell lines.
Apoptosis Analysis[1]
Cell Types: TIG-1 and 3T3-L1 (normal cells), HL60, Jurkat, and HeLa cells (tumor cells)
Tested Concentrations: 0, 1, 3, 10, 30 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 and 72 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Induced DNA fragmentation in three tumor cell lines, but not in two normal cell lines.
In vitro cellular assays for paeoniflorigenone are performed using various cancer cell lines including TIG-1, 3T3-L1, HL60, Jurkat, and HeLa cells, as well as normal cell lines for comparison. Cells are cultured in standard media and treated with paeoniflorigenone at concentrations ranging from 0 to 30 µM for 24-72 hours. Cell viability and proliferation are assessed using MTT, SRB, or colony formation assays. Apoptosis is evaluated by measuring caspase activity, DNA fragmentation, and Annexin V/PI staining. Cell cycle analysis is performed using propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry. The selectivity index is calculated by comparing effects on tumor cells versus normal cells. These cellular assays help validate the compound's selective anticancer activity and characterize its mechanism of action.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with paeoniflorigenone are not extensively documented in the literature. As a compound derived from Paeonia species used traditionally for cardiovascular diseases, animal models of cardiovascular disease could be used to study its effects on blood circulation and cardiac function. For anticancer studies, tumor xenograft models could be employed to evaluate the compound's in vivo efficacy. Paeoniflorigenone would be administered via oral gavage, intraperitoneal injection, or intravenous injection at doses determined from pharmacokinetic and tolerability studies. Efficacy endpoints would include tumor growth inhibition, apoptosis induction in tumor tissues, and survival. Neuromuscular effects could be assessed using motor function tests. Researchers should consult the primary literature for any available in vivo protocols and data.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of paeoniflorigenone are not extensively documented. As a monoterpene compound with moderate lipophilicity (molecular weight 318.325, C17H18O6), it is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability and good tissue distribution. The compound's ability to induce apoptosis and exert neuromuscular blocking effects suggests that it can reach target tissues including tumors and neuromuscular junctions. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, Tmax, AUC, volume of distribution, and clearance are not available in the literature. Researchers should consult the primary literature for any available pharmacokinetic data. The compound's stability and formulation requirements would need to be optimized for in vivo studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicological profile of paeoniflorigenone is not extensively characterized. The compound's selective induction of apoptosis in tumor cells while sparing normal cells suggests a favorable safety profile. However, its neuromuscular blocking activity could cause toxicity at high doses, potentially affecting respiratory function and motor control. As a compound derived from Paeonia species used traditionally, it may have a history of safe use in traditional medicine, but comprehensive toxicity studies are limited. The compound is intended for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications without appropriate safety evaluation. Researchers should follow standard laboratory safety practices when handling paeoniflorigenone.
