| Targets |
Lirinidine targets multiple pathways. It has antioxidative activity, likely through its ability to chelate metal ions and scavenge free radicals. It inhibits the proliferation of melanoma cells, suggesting activity against cancer cell growth. It also shows potent inhibition of melanogenesis, indicating activity against melanin production. The compound inhibits platelet aggregation induced by collagen, arachidonic acid, and platelet-activating factor, suggesting anti-thrombotic activity. It is also a selective alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist used in the treatment of hypertension and has spasmolytic actions.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Lirinidine exhibits antioxidative activity with moderate iron-reducing power and minor free radical scavenging ability. It significantly inhibits the proliferation of melanoma cells (A375). It also shows potent inhibition of melanogenesis. Additionally, Lirinidine significantly inhibits collagen, arachidonic acid, and platelet-activating factor-induced platelet aggregation. These in vitro activities confirm its multi-targeted pharmacological profile.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Lirinidine relaxes smooth musculature and possesses hypotensive and spasmolytic actions. It has been reported to have an LD50 of 9.8 mg/kg (i.v.) and 21.3 mg/kg (s.c.) in mice. As a selective alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist, it is used in the treatment of hypertension. Detailed in vivo efficacy data from animal models are not extensively reported in the available literature. Its spasmolytic and hypotensive actions suggest potential therapeutic applications in cardiovascular and gastrointestinal disorders.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cell-based assays for Lirinidine include antioxidant activity assays such as DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS radical scavenging, and ferric reducing power (FRAP) assays. The compound is incubated with the radical or reducing agent, and the change in absorbance is measured spectrophotometrically. Metal chelating activity may also be assessed. Platelet aggregation assays can be performed using platelet-rich plasma and aggregometry.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for Lirinidine utilize melanoma cells such as A375 to assess antiproliferative activity. Cells are treated with the compound at various concentrations, and cell proliferation is measured using standard viability assays (e.g., MTT, CCK-8). Melanogenesis inhibition is assessed in melanoma cells by measuring melanin content and tyrosinase activity. Platelet aggregation assays are performed using platelet-rich plasma from human or animal blood, with aggregation induced by collagen, arachidonic acid, or platelet-activating factor.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal models for Lirinidine include standard models for evaluating hypotensive and spasmolytic activity. For hypotensive effects, spontaneously hypertensive rats or normotensive animals are used. The compound is administered intravenously or orally, and blood pressure is measured. For spasmolytic effects, smooth muscle contraction assays in isolated tissue preparations (e.g., ileum, trachea) are used. Detailed protocols are not extensively reported in the available literature.

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Lirinidine has an LD50 of 9.8 mg/kg (i.v.) and 21.3 mg/kg (s.c.) in mice. Detailed toxicological data are not extensively reported. As a research compound, its safety profile would need to be established through standard preclinical toxicity assessments. The compound is supplied for research use only. Given its alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist activity, potential cardiovascular effects would be a key safety consideration.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
