Product Description
Evolitrine (7-Methoxydictamnine; Evolitrin) is extracted from Acronychia pedunculata and has anti~inflammatory effects.
Evolitrine (7-Methoxydictamnine, CAS 523-66-0) is a furoquinoline alkaloid isolated from Acronychia pedunculata and other plants. It exhibits anti-inflammatory and antifeedant activities. The compound acts as a detergent and dissolves fats for absorption. Evolitrine inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are pivotal in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, contributing to its anti-inflammatory activity. It is also known as 7-methoxydictamnine.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of Evolitrine is cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which it inhibits. COX enzymes are key mediators of the inflammatory response through the production of prostaglandins. By inhibiting COX, Evolitrine reduces inflammation and pain. The compound also has antifeedant activity, suggesting it may target insect feeding receptors or pathways. These targets make it relevant for anti-inflammatory and pest control research.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Evolitrine demonstrates anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting COX enzymes and reducing prostaglandin biosynthesis. The compound is isolated from Acronychia pedunculata and shows significant anti-inflammatory effects in cell-based assays. It also exhibits antifeedant activity in insect models. These in vitro activities support its use in research on inflammation, pain, and natural product-based pest control. The compound's detergent properties may affect its cellular interactions.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Evolitrine has demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity in animal models. Its inhibition of COX enzymes suggests potential applications in treating inflammatory conditions. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data are limited. The compound is a natural alkaloid from plants used in traditional medicine. Further studies are needed to fully characterize its therapeutic potential, pharmacokinetics, and safety profile in animal models of inflammation and pain.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Evolitrine include COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition assays using purified enzymes and appropriate substrates. The compound is incubated with COX enzymes at concentrations ranging from 0.1-100 μM, and enzyme activity is measured by prostaglandin production using ELISA or radiometric assays. IC50 values are determined by plotting percent inhibition versus inhibitor concentration. The compound's antifeedant activity is assessed in insect feeding assays. All assays include appropriate controls and reference compounds (e.g., indomethacin for COX inhibition).
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Evolitrine are conducted using inflammatory cell models (e.g., macrophages or monocytes) to assess anti-inflammatory activity. Cells are treated with Evolitrine at concentrations ranging from 0.1-100 μM, followed by stimulation with LPS or other inflammatory inducers. Pro-inflammatory cytokine levels (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6) and prostaglandin E2 are measured by ELISA. Cell viability is assessed using MTT assays. The compound's effects on COX expression and activity are evaluated by Western blot or activity assays. Experiments include vehicle controls and positive controls (e.g., NSAIDs).
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies with Evolitrine are limited, as the compound is primarily used as a research tool. Anti-inflammatory studies may be conducted in rodent models of acute inflammation (e.g., carrageenan-induced paw edema or formalin-induced pain). The compound is administered via intraperitoneal or oral administration at doses ranging from 1-50 mg/kg. Inflammation is assessed by measuring paw edema, pain responses, or inflammatory markers. Each group consists of 6-10 animals with vehicle-treated and positive control groups. Further studies are needed for comprehensive characterization.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Evolitrine have not been extensively characterized. As a lipophilic furoquinoline alkaloid (MW 229.23), it is expected to have good oral bioavailability and tissue distribution, including penetration of the blood-brain barrier. The compound's detergent properties may affect its absorption and distribution. Metabolism likely occurs through hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes, with elimination via biliary and renal excretion. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, and AUC require further investigation.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Evolitrine are limited, as the compound is a natural product research tool. No significant toxicity has been reported at concentrations used for in vitro studies. The compound is an alkaloid from plants used in traditional medicine, suggesting a reasonable safety profile. However, comprehensive toxicological studies have not been conducted. As with all research chemicals, appropriate safety precautions should be taken during handling, and the compound should be used only for research purposes.
