Product Description
Hydrastine (beta-Hydrastine; l-Hydrastine) is a natural alkaloid present in Hydrastis canadensis and other plants of the ranunculaceae family. It is one of the primary active ingredients in many dietary supplements meant to strengthen the immune system, made from the medicinal plant Hydrastis canadensis.
Hydrastine (CAS#: 118-08-1) is a natural phthalideisoquinoline alkaloid primarily found in the root of Hydrastis canadensis (goldenseal). It is a selective competitive inhibitor of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the rate-limiting enzyme in dopamine biosynthesis. Hydrastine has been shown to inhibit PAK4 kinase activity and suppress the proliferation and invasion of human lung adenocarcinoma cells. It is used as a research tool to study Parkinson's disease and dopaminergic neuronal damage.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PAK4
Hydrastine targets multiple targets, including tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), PAK4, and dopamine receptors. It acts as a selective competitive inhibitor of tyrosine hydroxylase, inhibiting dopamine biosynthesis with an IC50 of 20.7 µM in PC12 cells. It also inhibits PAK4 kinase activity, suppressing the proliferation and invasion of cancer cells. Additionally, it has been reported to have antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
ln Vitro
In vitro, hydrastine has been shown to inhibit dopamine biosynthesis in PC12 cells. It also inhibits the proliferation and invasion of human lung adenocarcinoma cells by suppressing PAK4 kinase activity. The compound induces cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase by inhibiting the expression of cyclin D1/D3 and CDK2/4/6. These activities make it a valuable tool for studying cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
ln Vivo
In vivo, hydrastine is used to study Parkinson's disease-related dopaminergic neuronal damage. Although specific in vivo efficacy data are less detailed, the compound's ability to inhibit dopamine biosynthesis makes it a useful tool for investigating the role of dopamine in various physiological and pathophysiological processes.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme or receptor binding (non-cell) assays for hydrastine involve studying its inhibition of tyrosine hydroxylase. The assay uses a purified tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme and a substrate (L-tyrosine) in the presence of the cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin. The production of L-DOPA is measured spectrophotometrically or by HPLC. The compound's ability to inhibit PAK4 kinase activity can be assessed using a kinase assay with a specific peptide substrate.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for hydrastine are performed using PC12 cells or cancer cell lines. Cells are treated with the compound, and dopamine levels are measured by HPLC to assess the inhibition of dopamine biosynthesis. Cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis are assessed using standard assays. Cell cycle analysis is performed using flow cytometry. The expression of target genes and proteins is analyzed by qPCR and Western blotting.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for hydrastine are conducted using rodent models of Parkinson's disease, such as the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) or MPTP models. The compound is administered, and its effects on dopaminergic neuronal survival and motor function are assessed. The compound's effects on cancer are evaluated using mouse xenograft models.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of hydrastine have not been adequately described. As an alkaloid, its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion are not well characterized. It is soluble in DMSO. Its half-life and bioavailability are determined in preclinical studies via LC-MS/MS analysis of plasma samples.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicology (toxicology) data for hydrastine are limited. As a natural product, it is generally considered safe at moderate doses. However, its effects on dopamine biosynthesis could have significant physiological consequences, and its safety profile requires thorough evaluation.

  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
