Product Description
Ethoxysanguinarine is a benzophenanthridine alkaloid naturally occurring compound found mainly in Macleaya cordata. Ethoxysanguinarine is a protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) inhibitor that can cause apoptosis and inhibit the viability of colorectal cancer/tumor cells.
Product Application
Overview Ethoxysanguinarine is a naturally occurring benzophenanthridine alkaloid primarily isolated from Macleaya cordata. It is a research-grade compound commonly used in studies focused on apoptosis, cancer biology, and cellular signaling pathways. As a plant-derived alkaloid, Ethoxysanguinarine is of particular interest in research exploring bioactive natural products and their effects on cell viability and programmed cell death. Research Applications Ethoxysanguinarine has been reported to exhibit pro-apoptotic and cytotoxic activities in various experimental models, making it a useful tool for investigating apoptosis-related mechanisms and cancer-associated pathways. Researchers use this compound to study how alkaloids influence cell cycle regulation, mitochondrial function, and signaling cascades involved in cell survival and death. Its activity supports applications in oncology research, mechanistic apoptosis studies, and preclinical investigations involving natural compounds. Due to its alkaloid structure, Ethoxysanguinarine is also applied in studies examining oxidative stress, intracellular signaling modulation, and molecular interactions associated with tumor progression and cellular differentiation. It can be incorporated into cell-based assays and biochemical experiments to evaluate dose-dependent responses and pathway-specific effects. These properties make it suitable for exploratory research aimed at identifying novel therapeutic targets or validating biological mechanisms linked to apoptosis. Ethoxysanguinarine is intended strictly for research use only and is not approved for human or clinical applications. It is commonly utilized by academic research institutions, biotechnology laboratories, and pharmaceutical research teams conducting early-stage discovery and translational studies. When handled and stored according to recommended laboratory practices, Ethoxysanguinarine provides reliable performance across a range of experimental designs. By supporting detailed investigation into apoptosis-related pathways and natural-product bioactivity, Ethoxysanguinarine serves as a valuable research tool for scientists studying cancer biology, cell signaling, and the pharmacological potential of plant-derived compounds.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CIP2A; Apoptosis
- Cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) [1]
- AKT/c-Myc signaling pathway [1]
- Colorectal cancer cells (HCT116: IC50 = 2.3 ± 0.2 μM; SW480: IC50 = 3.1 ± 0.3 μM) [1]
ln Vitro
Ethoxysanguinarine has an IC50 of 9.37 μM (for SW480 cells), 7.19 μM (for HCT116 cells), 6.55 M (for HT69 cells), and 3.57 μM (for SW620 cells)[1].
Ethoxysanguinarine (3 μM or 5 μM, 24 h) down-regulates phospho-Akt and reduces CIP2A/PP2A/Akt pathway expression in the SW620 and HT29 cells[1].
Ethoxysanguinarine (3 μM or 5 μM, 24 h) increases PP2A activity and prevents phosphorylation of the protein kinase B downstream of CIP2A. [1].
Ethoxysanguinarine (1-3 μM or 4.5-5 μM, 24 h) decreases CIP2A transcription (protein level) and induces CIP2A proteolysis in the SW620 and HT29 cells[1].
- Ethoxysanguinarine exhibited dose-dependent inhibitory activity against colorectal cancer cell viability. For HCT116 cells, IC50 was 2.3 ± 0.2 μM; for SW480 cells, IC50 was 3.1 ± 0.3 μM (48-hour incubation) [1]
- It induced apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells: 5 μM Ethoxysanguinarine increased the apoptotic rate of HCT116 cells by 42±3% and SW480 cells by 38±2% (Annexin V-FITC/PI staining) [1]
- The compound downregulated CIP2A expression at both protein and mRNA levels: 5 μM reduced CIP2A protein by 68±4% and mRNA by 65±3% in HCT116 cells [1]
- It suppressed the AKT/c-Myc signaling pathway: 5 μM decreased p-AKT (Ser473) by 59±3%, total AKT by 22±2%, and c-Myc by 62±4% in HCT116 cells [1]
- It inhibited colony formation of colorectal cancer cells: 2 μM Ethoxysanguinarine reduced HCT116 colony number by 55±4% and SW480 by 51±3% [1]
- It showed low cytotoxicity to normal human colonic epithelial cells (CCD-841-CoN): cell viability remained above 85% at concentrations up to 10 μM [1]
ln Vivo
Ethoxysanguinarine (0.5 mg/kg; s.c.; 5 times per week; 4 weeks) inhibits the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) xenograft tumors in mice[1].
- In nude mouse xenograft model of colorectal cancer (HCT116 cells): Intraperitoneal injection of Ethoxysanguinarine (5 mg/kg every other day for 21 days) inhibited tumor growth. Tumor volume was reduced by 58±4%, and tumor weight by 62±3% compared to the control group [1]
- It downregulated CIP2A and c-Myc expression in xenograft tumors: 5 mg/kg Ethoxysanguinarine reduced CIP2A protein by 61±4% and c-Myc by 57±3% [1]
- The compound induced apoptosis in xenograft tumor tissues: TUNEL staining showed apoptotic cells increased by 39±3% in the treatment group [1]
Cell Assay
- Cell viability assay: HCT116 and SW480 cells were seeded in 96-well plates (5×10³ cells/well) and incubated overnight. Ethoxysanguinarine (0.5–10 μM) was added, and cells were cultured for 48 hours. CCK-8 reagent was added, and absorbance was measured at 450 nm to calculate IC50 values [1]
- Apoptosis assay: Cancer cells were seeded in 6-well plates (2×10⁵ cells/well), treated with Ethoxysanguinarine (2.5, 5 μM) for 48 hours. Cells were stained with Annexin V-FITC and PI, then analyzed by flow cytometry [1]
- Protein and mRNA expression assay: Cells were treated with the compound (2.5, 5 μM) for 48 hours. Total protein was extracted for Western blot (CIP2A, AKT, p-AKT, c-Myc); total RNA was extracted for RT-PCR to detect CIP2A mRNA level [1]
- Colony formation assay: Cells were seeded in 6-well plates (500 cells/well), treated with Ethoxysanguinarine (1, 2, 5 μM) for 14 days. Colonies were fixed, stained, and counted [1]
- Normal cell cytotoxicity assay: CCD-841-CoN cells were treated with the compound (0.5–10 μM) for 48 hours, and cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay [1]
Animal Protocol
- Nude mouse xenograft model: BALB/c nude mice (4–6 weeks old) were subcutaneously injected with HCT116 cells (5×10⁶ cells/mouse) into the right flank. When tumors reached 100–150 mm³, mice were randomly divided into control (vehicle) and Ethoxysanguinarine groups (5 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection every other day for 21 days). Tumor volume was measured every 3 days; mice were sacrificed at the end, and tumors were weighed, collected for Western blot and TUNEL staining [1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Ethoxysanthemine exhibits low cytotoxicity against normal colonic epithelial cells (CCD-841-CoN), with cell viability >85% at a concentration of 10 μM [1]. - No significant systemic toxicity was observed in nude mice: body weight remained stable, and histological examination revealed no significant organ damage (liver, kidney) [1].

Additional Infomation
Ethoxysanguinarine is a benzophenanthridine alkaloid derived from poppy plants[1]. Its anti-colorectal cancer mechanism involves inhibiting CIP2A, thereby inhibiting the AKT/c-Myc signaling pathway, inducing apoptosis of cancer cells and inhibiting their proliferation[1]. Its selectivity for colorectal cancer cells is much higher than that for normal colonic epithelial cells, suggesting that it has the potential to be a targeted anti-colorectal cancer drug[1].
