| Targets |
Dihydrocephalomannine targets tubulin, a key component of the cytoskeleton involved in cell division, similar to paclitaxel. It binds to the β-tubulin subunit of microtubules, stabilizing them and preventing depolymerization, which leads to cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase. However, compared to paclitaxel, dihydrocephalomannine shows reduced tubulin binding affinity and decreased cytotoxicity. This makes it a less potent but also less toxic analog of paclitaxel.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, dihydrocephalomannine shows reduced cytotoxicity and tubulin binding compared to paclitaxel. As a paclitaxel analog, it is expected to exhibit anticancer activity through microtubule stabilization, though with lower potency. Its activity is typically evaluated in cell-based assays using various cancer cell lines, where it would induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. However, specific IC50 values for dihydrocephalomannine against cancer cell lines are not detailed in the available literature.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity of dihydrocephalomannine has not been extensively studied, as the compound is primarily used as a reference standard and impurity marker. As a paclitaxel analog with reduced cytotoxicity, it would be expected to have lower in vivo efficacy compared to paclitaxel. Its primary use is in analytical and quality control applications rather than therapeutic studies. Specific in vivo data, including dosing regimens and animal models, are not available in the published literature.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Cell-free assays for dihydrocephalomannine typically involve analytical characterization rather than biological activity measurements. The compound's identity and purity are confirmed by HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. It is used as a reference standard in chromatographic methods for the analysis of paclitaxel and its impurities. Tubulin binding assays could be performed using purified tubulin protein and spectrophotometric methods to assess microtubule polymerization, but specific protocols for this compound are not detailed in the available literature.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for dihydrocephalomannine are not typically performed, as the compound is primarily used as a reference standard. If studied, cancer cell lines would be treated with various concentrations of the compound, and cell viability would be assessed using MTT or similar assays. Cytotoxicity would be compared to paclitaxel. However, specific assay protocols for this compound are not documented in the available literature. The compound is intended for analytical and research use only.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for dihydrocephalomannine are not typically conducted, as the compound is primarily used as a reference standard. As a paclitaxel analog with reduced cytotoxicity, it would be expected to have lower efficacy in tumor models compared to paclitaxel. Its primary application is in pharmaceutical quality control and impurity profiling, not in therapeutic or pharmacological studies. Specific in vivo data are not available in the published literature.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of dihydrocephalomannine include a molecular weight of 833.92 g/mol, molecular formula C45H55NO14, and purity ≥98%. It has a density of 1.4±0.1 g/cm3, boiling point of 922.6±65.0 °C, and LogP of 6.5. As a paclitaxel analog, it is expected to have similar physicochemical properties, including poor aqueous solubility. The compound is typically stored as a solid at room temperature or at appropriate conditions as a reference standard.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of dihydrocephalomannine is characterized by reduced cytotoxicity compared to paclitaxel. This makes it a less toxic analog, which is relevant for its use as an impurity reference standard. The compound is intended for research and analytical use only and not for therapeutic applications. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.
