Product Description
Gnidilatidin (Yuanhuacine) is a naturally occuring and bioactive daphnane diterpenoid isolated from the flowers of Daphne genkwa with extensive anti-tumor activity. Yuanhuacine is a DNA-damaging agent with orally active.
Gnidilatidin, also known as yuanhuacine or yuanhuacin, is a daphnane diterpenoid natural product isolated from the flowers of Daphne genkwa, a plant used in traditional Chinese medicine. It is an effective and highly selective inhibitor of the basal-like 2 (BL2) subtype of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Gnidilatidin can induce G2/M cell cycle arrest and has broad anti-tumor activity. The primary mechanism of action for gnidilatidin and its analogs is the activation of Protein Kinase C (PKC), a family of serine/threonine kinases that play crucial roles in cellular signaling pathways regulating cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. Binding of yuanhuacine to protein kinase C, and possibly to the DNA-binding enzyme topoisomerase 1, triggers different cellular effects inducing upregulation of proteins such as p21, P38, and transcription factor Sp1. Gnidilatidin is believed to exert its anticancer effects through the modulation of several key signaling pathways, ultimately leading to apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. A proposed mechanism involves the activation of Protein Kinase C (PKC) and the inhibition of the AMPK/mTOR pathway. Yuanhuacine is a DNA-damaging agent with oral activity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Basal-like 2 (BL2) subtype of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Gnidilatidin also binds to protein kinase C (PKC) and possibly to the DNA-binding enzyme topoisomerase 1. Through PKC activation, gnidilatidin modulates multiple downstream signaling pathways including the AMPK/mTOR pathway, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
ln Vitro
Gnidilatidin (yuanhuacine) inhibits tumor growth in preclinical models. It activates AMPK and inhibits proliferation biomarkers Ki-67 and PCNA in tumor tissues. The compound induces G2/M cell cycle arrest in cancer cells. Binding of yuanhuacine to protein kinase C, and possibly to topoisomerase 1, triggers different cellular effects inducing upregulation of proteins such as p21, P38, and transcription factor Sp1. Gnidilatidin demonstrated potent latency-reversing activity (EC50 = 5.49 nM in J-Lat 10.6 cells) and downregulated CD4 and CXCR4, suggesting enhanced inhibition of HIV-1 entry.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Gnidilatidin inhibited tumor growth by 33.4% and 38.8% in preclinical models, reduced tumor weight, activated AMPK, and inhibited proliferation biomarkers Ki-67 and PCNA in tumor tissues. The compound is orally active. Gnidilatidin has been studied in Sprague-Dawley rats following intravenous and oral administration to determine its pharmacokinetic parameters. As a DNA-damaging agent with oral activity, gnidilatidin shows promise as an orally available therapeutic for TNBC.
Enzyme Assay
PKC activation is assessed using in vitro kinase assays with recombinant PKC isoforms and appropriate peptide substrates. Radioactive or luminescent assays are used to measure kinase activity. Topoisomerase 1 inhibition is assessed by measuring DNA relaxation or cleavage activity using supercoiled plasmid DNA as substrate in gel-based assays. Binding of gnidilatidin to PKC and topoisomerase 1 is confirmed by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). IC50 and EC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves using nonlinear regression analysis.
Cell Assay
Cellular activity is evaluated in TNBC cell lines, particularly the BL2 subtype. Cells are treated with Gnidilatidin at various concentrations (typically 0.001-100 μM) for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is measured by MTT, MTS, or CellTiter-Glo assays. Cell cycle distribution is analyzed by flow cytometry following propidium iodide staining. Apoptosis is measured by caspase-3/7 activation assays, Annexin V/PI staining, or by measuring PARP cleavage via Western blot. AMPK activation and proliferation biomarkers (Ki-67, PCNA) are assessed by Western blot or immunohistochemistry. J-Lat 10.6 cells are used to assess latency-reversing activity (EC50 = 5.49 nM).
Animal Protocol
In vivo efficacy is studied in mouse xenograft models of TNBC, particularly BL2 subtype tumors. Gnidilatidin is administered orally or via intraperitoneal injection at various doses (typically 1-100 mg/kg). Tumor growth is measured by caliper twice weekly and tumor volume is calculated. At study termination, tumors are excised and weighed. Tumor tissues are analyzed for AMPK activation, Ki-67 and PCNA expression by immunohistochemistry or Western blot. Pharmacokinetic studies are conducted in Sprague-Dawley rats following intravenous and oral administration.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Gnidilatidin has a molecular formula of C37H44O10 and a molecular weight of 648.749 g/mol. Purity is typically >98% by HPLC. The compound is orally active. Pharmacokinetic parameters have been characterized in Sprague-Dawley rats after intravenous and oral administration. The compound is soluble in DMSO and should be stored at -20°C for long-term stability, protected from light and moisture. Gnidilatidin demonstrated potent latency-reversing activity (EC50 = 5.49 nM in J-Lat 10.6 cells).
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicological data for Gnidilatidin are not extensively published. As a DNA-damaging agent and anti-tumor compound, it should be handled with appropriate safety precautions in a biological safety cabinet. The compound is for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications without appropriate regulatory approval. Standard laboratory safety practices should be followed, including the use of personal protective equipment and proper disposal of hazardous waste.
