| Targets |
Nardosinone does not directly target a specific protein with a defined IC50, Ki, EC50, or DC50 in this study. It enhances neurite outgrowth by amplifying both mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase-dependent and -independent signaling pathways downstream of dbcAMP and staurosporine. The compound itself does not affect MAP kinase phosphorylation. [1]

| ln Vitro |
In PC12D cells, naredosinone (0.1–100 microM) concentration-dependently promotes neurite outgrowth triggered by staurosporine (10 nM) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP, 0.3 mM). In the MAP kinase-dependent signaling pathway, nandosinone amplifies the downstream actions of MAP kinase [1].
Nardosinone alone (up to 100 μM) did not induce neurite outgrowth in PC12D cells. However, it enhanced dbcAMP (0.3 mM)-induced neurite outgrowth in a concentration-dependent manner (0.1–100 μM), shifting the dbcAMP concentration-response curve leftward and increasing the maximum response. [1] Nardosinone (0.1–100 μM) also potentiated staurosporine (10 nM)-induced neurite outgrowth concentration-dependently, shifting the staurosporine concentration-response curve leftward and increasing the maximum response. [1] The MAP kinase kinase inhibitor PD98059 (20 μM) partially blocked nardosinone-induced enhancement of dbcAMP (0.3 mM)- or staurosporine (10 nM)-mediated neurite outgrowth. PD98059 alone did not affect dbcAMP or staurosporine-induced neurite outgrowth. [1] Western blot analysis showed that nardosinone alone did not increase dual phosphorylation of MAP kinase 1/2. dbcAMP markedly increased MAP kinase 1/2 phosphorylation, which was not affected by co-treatment with nardosinone (100 μM). Staurosporine (10 nM or 30 nM) had little effect on MAP kinase phosphorylation, and nardosinone did not alter the phosphorylation levels in the presence of staurosporine. [1] |
| Cell Assay |
PC12D cells were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 5% fetal calf serum, 10% horse serum, and 2 mM glutamine at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere. For neurite outgrowth assays, cells were dissociated by incubation with 1 mM EGTA in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 1 h, then seeded at 2×10^4 cells/well in 24-well plates coated with poly-L-lysine. After 24 h, the medium was replaced with test medium containing 1% fetal calf serum, 2% horse serum, and various concentrations of nardosinone, dbcAMP, or staurosporine. After 48 h, cultures were fixed with 2% glutaraldehyde in PBS. Neurite outgrowth was observed under a phase-contrast microscope. Processes with lengths equivalent to at least one cell body diameter were scored as neurites. The proportion of neurite-bearing cells to total cells (≥100 cells) in randomly selected areas was calculated. The effects were compared with positive controls (50 nM staurosporine or 1 mM dbcAMP). [1]
For Western blot analysis, PC12D cells were treated with or without nardosinone (100 μM) in the presence or absence of staurosporine or dbcAMP. Cells were lysed with SDS-containing lysis buffer, boiled, sonicated, and proteins separated by SDS-PAGE. After transfer to polyvinylidene difluoride membrane, blots were blocked and incubated with anti-active MAP kinase 1/2 antibody, followed by HRP-conjugated secondary antibody. Signals were visualized with chemiluminescent substrate. Blots were then stripped and reprobed with anti-total MAP kinase 1/2 antibody. Protein content was determined using a BCA assay. [1] |

Reports have indicated that spikenard contains spikenard ketone, and relevant data is available for reference.
Nardosinone is the first reported enhancer of neurite outgrowth-promoting activity of dbcAMP and staurosporine. It enhances both MAP kinase-dependent and -independent signaling pathways, likely by amplifying a downstream step of MAP kinase in the MAP kinase-dependent pathway. The compound may become a useful pharmacological tool for studying the mechanism of action of various neuritogenic substances, including NGF, dbcAMP, and staurosporine. It has potential implications for understanding signal transduction controlling neurite outgrowth and for therapeutic strategies in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
