Product Description
Desacetylcinobufagin is a natural compound used for microbial transformation.
Desacetylcinobufagin (CAS# 4026-95-3) is an active metabolite of the cardiotonic steroid cinobufagin. It is an isoform-specific probe for the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes UGT1A4 and UGT1A3. Desacetylcinobufagin exerts antitumor effects primarily by inhibiting Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase activity and modulating downstream signaling pathways, leading to apoptosis in cancer cells. The compound demonstrates cytotoxicity against human hepatoma cells (HepG2), human leukemia cells (K562, HL-60), human cervical carcinoma cells (HeLa), and malignant melanoma cells (A375). It has shown IC₅₀ values of 51.2 µM against HepG2, 50.1 µM against K562, and 7.5 µM against HL-60 cells. The compound also has anti-inflammatory properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. It is the main urinary metabolite of cinobufagin.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of desacetylcinobufagin is Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase, a membrane-bound enzyme that maintains the electrochemical gradient of sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane. Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase is a critical enzyme for cellular homeostasis, and its inhibition leads to increased intracellular sodium and calcium concentrations. This disruption of ion homeostasis triggers downstream signaling pathways that lead to apoptosis in cancer cells. Desacetylcinobufagin's inhibition of Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase is similar to that of other cardiotonic steroids such as ouabain and digoxin. The compound also serves as an isoform-specific probe for UGT1A4 and UGT1A3, enzymes involved in glucuronidation and drug metabolism. Its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis suggests additional anti-inflammatory targets.
ln Vitro
In vitro, desacetylcinobufagin demonstrates cytotoxicity against various human cancer cell lines. It is cytotoxic to HepG2 (human hepatoma) with an IC₅₀ of 51.2 µM, K562 (human leukemia) with an IC₅₀ of 50.1 µM, and HL-60 (human leukemia) with an IC₅₀ of 7.5 µM. The compound also shows activity against human cervical carcinoma cells (HeLa) and malignant melanoma cells (A375). Its antitumor effects are primarily mediated through inhibition of Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase activity and modulation of downstream signaling pathways, leading to apoptosis. The compound also has anti-inflammatory properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. Its activity as an isoform-specific probe for UGT1A4 and UGT1A3 makes it valuable for studying glucuronidation pathways.
ln Vivo
In vivo, desacetylcinobufagin is the main urinary metabolite of cinobufagin, a cardiotonic steroid derived from toad venom. As a metabolite, it contributes to the overall pharmacological effects of cinobufagin. The compound's antitumor effects, mediated through Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase inhibition and downstream signaling modulation, would be expected to translate to in vivo antitumor activity. Its anti-inflammatory properties may also contribute to its in vivo effects. However, comprehensive in vivo efficacy studies specifically for desacetylcinobufagin are not extensively reported in the publicly available literature. The compound's role as a UGT1A4 and UGT1A3 probe suggests it may be useful for studying drug metabolism and interactions in vivo.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for desacetylcinobufagin measure its ability to inhibit Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase activity. In these assays, purified Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase enzyme is incubated with ATP and the compound, and the release of inorganic phosphate is measured using a colorimetric method. The compound's inhibition of Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase activity is quantified and compared to that of known inhibitors. Additionally, desacetylcinobufagin can be used as an isoform-specific probe for UGT1A4 and UGT1A3 in glucuronidation assays, where the compound's glucuronidation by these enzymes is measured using LC-MS/MS. These assays are essential for characterizing the compound's mechanism of action and its role in drug metabolism.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for desacetylcinobufagin evaluate its cytotoxic activity and mechanism of action in cancer cells. Cancer cell lines including HepG2, K562, HL-60, HeLa, and A375 are treated with varying concentrations of the compound, and cell viability is assessed using standard assays such as MTT, CellTiter-Glo, or sulforhodamine B. IC₅₀ values are determined from dose-response curves. Apoptosis is quantified using Annexin V/PI staining or caspase activity assays. The compound's effects on Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase activity can be assessed by measuring intracellular sodium and calcium concentrations using fluorescent indicators. These assays confirm the compound's mechanism of action and provide functional data on its cellular activity.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for desacetylcinobufagin are typically conducted in the context of cinobufagin pharmacology, as desacetylcinobufagin is a metabolite of the parent compound. Studies would involve administering cinobufagin to animals and measuring desacetylcinobufagin levels in urine and other tissues. Antitumor efficacy studies could be conducted using xenograft models with cancer cell lines sensitive to desacetylcinobufagin, such as HepG2 or HL-60. However, comprehensive in vivo studies specifically for desacetylcinobufagin are not extensively reported. The compound's role as a UGT1A4 and UGT1A3 probe suggests it may be used in studies of drug metabolism and interactions.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Desacetylcinobufagin has a molecular weight of approximately 400.51 g/mol and a chemical formula of C₂₄H₃₂O₅. As a cardiotonic steroid metabolite, it is a lipophilic compound that is primarily excreted in urine following glucuronidation. The compound's metabolism involves glucuronidation by UGT1A4 and UGT1A3, making it a useful probe for studying these enzymes. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life, volume of distribution, and bioavailability are not extensively reported in the publicly available literature for desacetylcinobufagin specifically, but would be similar to those of other cardiotonic steroids.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Desacetylcinobufagin is cytotoxic to cancer cells and inhibits Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase activity. As a cardiotonic steroid, it may have cardiovascular effects similar to other compounds in this class, including effects on cardiac contractility and rhythm. The compound's anti-inflammatory properties may also contribute to its overall safety profile. Comprehensive toxicology data for desacetylcinobufagin specifically is not extensively reported, but related cardiotonic steroids are known to have narrow therapeutic windows. The compound is classified as a research-grade chemical and is not intended for human use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling desacetylcinobufagin.
