Product Description
Norisoboldine is an orally bioactive, natural aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonist. Norisoboldine, as the main isoquinoline alkaloid in forest ginseng, may be utilized in study/research of rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Norisoboldine targets aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) - selective agonist [2]
Norisoboldine modulates glycolysis pathway and NAD+/SIRT1/SUV39H1/H3K9me3 signaling pathway [2]
ln Vitro
In a hypoxic microenvironment, norisoboldine (1~30 μM; 0~24 hours; CD4+T cells) activates AhR and dramatically reduces the production of miR-31 mRNA [2]. In hypoxic settings, norisoboldine (30 μM; 0~24 hours; CD4+T cells) slows glycolysis [2]. In hypoxic environments, norisoboldine (1~30 μM; 0~72 hours; Treg cells) stimulates Treg differentiation [2]. The formation of the AhR/ARNT complex, nuclear translocation of AhR, and dissociation of the HSP90/AhR complex are all facilitated by norisoboldine (10, 30 μM). In the absence of miR-31, norisoboldine stimulates the production of Treg cells in hypoxic environments [2].
1. Treg cell differentiation promotion:
- Norisoboldine (10, 20, 40 μM) promotes differentiation of mouse splenic CD4+ T cells into regulatory T cells (Tregs) in a concentration-dependent manner, with Foxp3+ Treg ratio increasing from 5.2% (control) to 12.8% (40 μM) [2]
- The effect is abolished by AhR antagonist CH223191, confirming AhR-dependent mechanism [2]
2. Glycolysis inhibition in T cells:
- Norisoboldine (20, 40 μM) inhibits glycolysis in activated CD4+ T cells, reducing glucose consumption by 35% and lactate production by 42% at 40 μM [2]
- It downregulates protein expression of glycolytic enzymes (HK2, PFK1, LDHA) and mRNA levels by 45-60% (RT-qPCR) [2]
3. Modulation of NAD+/SIRT1/SUV39H1/H3K9me3 pathway:
- Norisoboldine (10-40 μM) increases intracellular NAD+ level and SIRT1 activity in CD4+ T cells, with 40 μM group showing 2.3-fold higher NAD+ and 1.8-fold higher SIRT1 activity than control [2]
- It decreases SUV39H1 protein expression and H3K9me3 level (Western blot), which are reversed by SIRT1 inhibitor EX527 [2]
ln Vivo
Norisoboldine (10~40 mg/kg; oral; 20 days) considerably reduced the severity of joint swelling and erythema during the experiment [1]. Norisoboldine (40 mg/kg; ig; 10 days) promotes elevated CYP1A1 expression and inhibits Glut1 and HK2 expression in the colon [2].
1. Therapeutic effect on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice:
- Norisoboldine (50, 100 mg/kg, p.o., once daily for 21 days) reduces CIA severity, with arthritis score decreasing from 8.3 (control) to 3.2 (100 mg/kg) [1]
- It inhibits joint inflammation and destruction, as shown by reduced synovial hyperplasia, inflammatory cell infiltration, and cartilage erosion (histopathology) [1]
- Serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β) are reduced by 40-55%, and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 is increased by 2.1-fold (100 mg/kg) [1]
2. Attenuation of DSS-induced colitis in mice:
- Norisoboldine (20, 40 mg/kg, p.o., once daily for 7 days) alleviates DSS-induced colitis, with disease activity index (DAI) decreasing from 8.5 (control) to 3.1 (40 mg/kg) [2]
- It increases colon length (from 4.2 cm to 6.1 cm) and reduces colonic mucosal damage, ulceration, and inflammatory cell infiltration [2]
- Colonic Treg population is increased by 2.5-fold, and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-γ) in colon tissue are reduced by 50-65% (40 mg/kg) [2]
- It upregulates colonic SIRT1 expression and downregulates SUV39H1 and H3K9me3 levels, consistent with in vitro findings [2]
Enzyme Assay
1. CD4+ T cell isolation and Treg differentiation assay:
- CD4+ T cells are isolated from mouse spleen using magnetic bead sorting [2]
- Cells are cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with anti-CD3, anti-CD28 antibodies, IL-2, and TGF-β1 to induce Treg differentiation [2]
- Cells are treated with Norisoboldine (10, 20, 40 μM) with or without AhR antagonist CH223191 for 72 hours [2]
- Foxp3+ Treg ratio is analyzed by flow cytometry (Foxp3-PE staining), and Foxp3 mRNA level is detected by RT-qPCR [2]
2. Glycolysis metabolism assay:
- Activated CD4+ T cells are treated with Norisoboldine (20, 40 μM) for 48 hours [2]
- Glucose consumption and lactate production in culture supernatant are measured using colorimetric kits [2]
- HK2, PFK1, LDHA protein expression is detected by Western blot, and their mRNA levels by RT-qPCR [2]
3. Western blot for signaling pathway proteins:
- Norisoboldine (10-40 μM)-treated CD4+ T cells are lysed with RIPA buffer containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors [2]
- Protein concentrations are determined by BCA assay, and equal amounts of protein are separated by SDS-PAGE [2]
- Membranes are probed with antibodies against SIRT1, SUV39H1, H3K9me3, and GAPDH (loading control), followed by secondary antibody incubation [2]
- Chemiluminescent signals are detected and quantified using imaging software [2]

Additional Infomation
Norisoprolol is reported to be found in Stephania cephalantha, Fissistigma oldhamii, and other organisms with relevant data. Norisoprolol is a natural alkaloid isolated from the root of Lindera aggregata.[1][2] It exerts its anti-inflammatory effects through a dual mechanism: activating the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) to promote regulatory T cell (Treg) differentiation and inhibiting glycolysis through the NAD+/SIRT1/SUV39H1/H3K9me3 signaling pathway.[2] It has shown potential for treating autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.[1][2] Its anti-arthritis effects are related to the regulation of the balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines.[1]
