Product Description
Orthosphenic acid (compound 12) is a naturally occurring compound extracted from the roots of Tripterygium wilfordii.
Orthosphenic acid (CAS 86632-20-4) is a tricyclic diterpenoid compound with the molecular formula C30H48O5, originally isolated from the bark of Tripterygium wilfordii (also known as Thunder God Vine). It exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Orthosphenic acid has been studied for its potential in treating inflammatory diseases and cancer. The compound acts as a Bronsted acid, donating protons to acceptor molecules, and is also known as a natural product from M. triflora.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Orthosphenic acid targets inflammatory and cancer-related pathways through its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer activities. The compound inhibits the growth of cancer cells in vitro and shows synergistic effects with wilforlide, another bioactive compound from Tripterygium wilfordii. As a Bronsted acid, it may interact with specific molecular targets through proton donation. Its tricyclic diterpenoid structure suggests potential interactions with cellular receptors or enzymes involved in inflammation and cell proliferation.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Orthosphenic acid inhibits the growth of cancer cells and exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It shows synergistic effects with wilforlide, suggesting potential for combination therapy approaches. As a natural triterpenoid, it has been studied for its ability to modulate inflammatory pathways and reduce oxidative stress. Specific IC50 values and detailed mechanistic data are not extensively reported in the available literature. The compound's anticancer activity has been demonstrated in cell-based assays.
ln Vivo
Specific in vivo data for Orthosphenic acid are limited in the available literature. Given its anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties, the compound has potential for in vivo efficacy studies in animal models of inflammatory diseases and cancer. Its origin from Tripterygium wilfordii, a plant known for its traditional use in treating rheumatoid arthritis, suggests potential applications in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Synergistic effects with wilforlide suggest potential for combination studies in vivo.
Enzyme Assay
The anti-inflammatory activity is assessed using standard in vitro assays. Immune cells such as macrophages are treated with Orthosphenic acid and stimulated with LPS or other inflammatory stimuli. Cytokine levels (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β) are measured by ELISA. Antioxidant activity is assessed using DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS, or FRAP assays. Anticancer activity is evaluated using cancer cell lines with MTT or similar viability assays. Cells are treated with various concentrations of the compound for 24-72 hours, and IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
For cellular studies, cancer cell lines and immune cells are cultured in appropriate media supplemented with 10% FBS at 37°C in 5% CO₂. Cells are treated with Orthosphenic acid at various concentrations for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT, CCK-8, or CellTiter-Glo assays. For anti-inflammatory studies, cytokine levels in culture supernatants are measured by ELISA. For antioxidant studies, cellular ROS levels may be measured using DCFH-DA. Protein expression of inflammatory and cell cycle markers is analyzed by Western blot.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies for Orthosphenic acid would be conducted in appropriate animal models. For anti-inflammatory studies, models such as carrageenan-induced paw edema, collagen-induced arthritis, or DSS-induced colitis could be employed. For anticancer studies, xenograft models using cancer cell lines would be used. The compound would be administered via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection at appropriate doses. Endpoints would include inflammatory markers, tumor volume, tissue histopathology, and clinical scores. Synergistic effects with wilforlide could be evaluated in combination studies.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Specific pharmacokinetic data for Orthosphenic acid are not reported. As a tricyclic diterpenoid with molecular weight 488.7 g/mol, the compound is expected to have moderate lipophilicity and potential for oral absorption. Pharmacokinetic studies would be required to determine parameters such as half-life, Cmax, oral bioavailability, and tissue distribution in animal models. The compound's stability in biological matrices and protein binding properties would also require characterization.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Orthosphenic acid are limited. As a natural product from Tripterygium wilfordii, a plant known to contain compounds with significant toxicity (e.g., triptolide), the compound's safety profile requires careful evaluation. However, Orthosphenic acid itself may have a different toxicity profile. Comprehensive toxicology studies including acute, subchronic, and genotoxicity assessments would be required before any therapeutic development. The compound should be handled with appropriate safety precautions.
