Azadiradione exhibits antimycobacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. It has a role as a plant metabolite, an antimycobacterial drug and an anti-inflammatory agent. It is a limonoid, a tetracyclic triterpenoid, an acetate ester, a cyclic terpene ketone and a member of furans.

ln Vivo |
This study was carried out to evaluate the anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of carbon tetrachloride extract (CTCE) of Azadirachta indica fruit skin and its isolated constituent azadiradione at two different dose levels (50 and 100 mg kg⁻¹ body weight). Anti-nociceptive screening by writhing test and hot-plate technique supported both peripheral and central mechanisms, respectively. Anti-inflammatory activity was observed using carrageenan-induced paw oedema model. The results concluded that the animals treated with 100 mg kg⁻¹ dose of CTCE and azadiradione exhibited significant anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities. This study had rationalised the ethnomedicinal use of the plant for wound, burns and injury by tribal people.[1]
This study demonstrated that partial rescue of the defective protein quality control in HD model mouse by azadiradione (a bioactive limonoids found in the seed of Azadirachta indica) could potentially improve the disease pathology. Prolonged treatment of azadiradione to HD mice significantly improved the progressive deterioration in body weight, motor functioning along with extension of lifespan. Azadiradione-treated HD mice brain also exhibited considerable decrease in mutant huntingtin aggregates load and improvement of striatal pathology in comparison with age-matched saline-treated HD controls. Biochemical analysis further revealed upregulation and activation of not only HSF1 (master regulator of protein folding) but also Ube3a (an ubiquitin ligase involved in the clearance of mutant huntingtin) in azadiradione-treated mice. Our results indicate that azadiradione-mediated enhanced folding and clearance of mutant huntingtin might underlie improved disease pathology in HD mice and suggests that it could be a potential therapeutic molecule to delay the progression of HD[2]. |
Animal Protocol |
Transgenic mouse line for HD (strain B6CBA-Tg (HDexon1) 62Gpb/3 J) was procured from The Jackson Laboratory and bred in the animal house facility of National Brain Research Centre. This HD transgenic mouse line (commonly referred as R6/2 line) expresses Exon1 region of huntingtin with 120 CAG repeats and exhibits very fast progressive neurological phenotype [44]. Animals had free access to pelleted diet and water ad libitum. All experiments were conducted according to the strict guideline proposed by the Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CPCSEA), Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Government of India and were approved by the Institutional Animal Ethics Committee of the National Brain Research Centre (Protocol number NBRC/IAEC/2017/120). After proper genotyping, female HD mice along with their wild type littermates were used for the present study. Azadiradione was dissolved in DMSO, diluted in saline (containing 5% DMSO) and then given intraperitoneal injection (dose 10 mg/kg body weight) to wild-type and HD mice at their age of 55 days. Each mouse was received total 15 doses at 1-day interval. In some pilot experiments, wild-type mice were treated azadiradione at a dose of 1 and 10 mg/kg body weight every day for 10 days. Control mice received with same volume of saline containing 5% DMSO.[2]

Additional Infomation |
Azadiradione is a tetracyclic triterpenoid that is 4,4,8-trimethylandrosta-1,14-diene substituted by oxo groups at positions 3 and 16, an acetoxy group at position 7 and a furan-3-yl group at position 17. Isolated from Azadirachta indica, it exhibits antimycobacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. It has a role as a plant metabolite, an antimycobacterial drug and an anti-inflammatory agent. It is a limonoid, a tetracyclic triterpenoid, an acetate ester, a cyclic terpene ketone and a member of furans.
Azadiradione has been reported in Dysoxylum parasiticum, Quivisianthe papinae, and other organisms with data available. |
