Product Description
Nitidine chloride is a compound with antimalarial activity extracted from Zanthoxylum nitidum (Roxb) DC. Nitidine chloride exerts anti-cancer activity through multiple target pathways, like inducing apoptosis and inhibiting STAT3, DNA topoisomerase 1 and 2A, ERK and c-Src/FAK related signaling pathways. Nitidine chloride inhibits the production of Lps-induced inflammatory cytokines through MAPK and NF-kB pathways.
Nitidine chloride (CAS#: 13063-04-2) is a benzophenanthridine alkaloid extracted from the root of Zanthoxylum nitidum (Roxb) DC. It has antimalarial activity and exerts potent anticancer activity through multiple target pathways. Nitidine chloride induces apoptosis and inhibits STAT3, DNA topoisomerase 1 and 2A, ERK, and c-Src/FAK related signaling pathways. It also inhibits the production of LPS-induced inflammatory cytokines through MAPK and NF-κB pathways.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Nitidine chloride targets multiple cellular pathways. It inhibits STAT3 signaling cascade, DNA topoisomerase 1 and 2A, ERK, and c-Src/FAK associated signaling pathways. It also inhibits AKT signaling and downregulates NEDD4 expression. By inhibiting these pathways, nitidine chloride induces apoptosis, suppresses cell proliferation, and inhibits migration and invasion of cancer cells.
ln Vitro
In vitro, nitidine chloride inhibits the proliferation of various cancer cell lines in a time- and dose-dependent manner. It induces apoptosis and decreases STAT3 phosphorylation in HSC-3 and HSC-4 oral cancer cells. It inhibits the proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells. It suppresses cell activity, migration, and invasion, and induces apoptosis in lung carcinoma cells. It inhibits renal cancer cell metastasis by inhibiting the AKT signaling pathway and inhibits ovarian cancer cell migration and invasion by inhibiting MMP-2/9 production through the ERK signaling pathway.
ln Vivo
In vivo, nitidine chloride has demonstrated efficacy in mouse models. In a mouse model of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), nitidine chloride showed efficacy. In an HSC-3 oral cancer mouse xenograft model, nitidine chloride (10 mg/kg per day for 24 days) reduced tumor growth. In a breast cancer model (MDA-MB-231 cells in BALB/C nude mice), nitidine chloride at 5 mg/kg upregulated p53, p21, Bax, and cleaved caspase-9.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for nitidine chloride typically measure its effects on cell proliferation, apoptosis, and signaling pathways. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or CCK-8 assays. Apoptosis is measured by flow cytometry using Annexin V staining or by caspase activity assays. Signaling pathway inhibition is assessed by Western blotting for phosphorylated and total proteins (e.g., STAT3, ERK, AKT). DNA topoisomerase activity can be measured using relaxation or decatenation assays.
Cell Assay
For cell-based assays, cancer cell lines are cultured in appropriate media. Cells are seeded in multi-well plates and treated with nitidine chloride at various concentrations (typically 1-50 μM) for 24-72 hours. Cell viability, apoptosis, and signaling pathway changes are assessed as described above. Migration and invasion are assessed using Transwell or wound-healing assays. All experiments include appropriate vehicle controls.
Animal Protocol
In vivo, nitidine chloride is typically administered intraperitoneally to mice. In xenograft models, tumor-bearing mice are treated with nitidine chloride at doses such as 5 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg daily. Tumor volume is measured over time. At the end of the study, tumors are excised for histology and biomarker analysis (e.g., p53, p21, Bax).
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Nitidine chloride (MW 383.83, C₂₁H₁₈ClNO₄) is a benzophenanthridine alkaloid. It is a light yellow to yellow solid powder. The compound is typically stored as a powder at -20°C for long-term stability. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters are not extensively reported. It is for research purposes.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Nitidine chloride is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic applications. Toxicity data are limited. Standard safety pharmacology and toxicology studies would be required for therapeutic development.
Additional Infomation
Nitidine chloride is a research-grade natural alkaloid with potent anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities. Its primary applications include cancer research, immunology, and drug discovery. The compound is not an approved drug and has not entered clinical trials. It is commercially available from various chemical suppliers for research purposes only. Its mechanism involves multi-target inhibition of signaling pathways.
