Product Description
Oxysophocarpine is an alkaloid found in Sophora alopecuroides. Oxysophocarpine has neuro-protective (neuro-protection) and antinociceptive effects on the central and peripheral nervous systems. Oxysophocarpine suppresses the growth and metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Oxysophocarpine (CAS 26904-64-3) is a quinolizidine alkaloid extracted from leguminous plants such as Sophora alopecuroides. It is traditionally used in herbal medicine for various diseases including neuronal disorders. Oxysophocarpine exhibits neuroprotective, anti-nociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and anticonvulsant effects on both the central and peripheral nervous systems. It also inhibits the growth and metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). As a research compound, it is valuable for studying neurodegenerative diseases, inflammatory pain, and cancer.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Oxysophocarpine targets multiple inflammatory and signaling pathways. It attenuates inflammatory pain by suppressing the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and reducing levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). It inhibits the growth and metastasis of OSCC by targeting the Nrf2/HO-1 axis. It also compromises miR-155 activity by attenuating MAPK and NF-κB pathways. Targets include ERK, COX, PGE, TNF-α, IL receptors, Caspase, GABA receptor, Bcl-2/Bax, and P450 enzymes.
ln Vitro
In vitro, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells of SCC-9 and SCC-15 exhibit reduced migration and swelling when exposed to oxysophocarpine (5 μM) as an inhibitor of swelling.
In vitro, Oxysophocarpine (5 μM) inhibits proliferation and reduces migration and invasion of SCC-9 and SCC-15 oral squamous cell carcinoma cells. It protects neonatal rat primary cultured hippocampal neurons injured by oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/RP) at concentrations of 1, 2, and 5 μmol/L. The IC50 of Oxysophocarpine for neuroprotection was found to be 100 μmol/L. Treatment with Oxysophocarpine attenuated neuronal injury in a dose-dependent manner. These activities confirm its neuroprotective and anticancer potential in cell-based models.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Oxysophocarpine induces anti-nociception and increases the expression of GABAA1 receptors in mice. It has been shown to decrease the level of serum transaminase, improve lipid metabolism, and reduce synthesis of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, TGF-β1, and IL-6 while activating the protective adipocytokine adiponectin, suggesting potential as a drug for colonic inflammation and NASH. In OSCC models, it retards tumor growth and metastasis by targeting the Nrf2/HO-1 axis. These in vivo effects support its therapeutic potential in inflammatory and cancerous conditions.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays (cell-free), Oxysophocarpine can be evaluated using a variety of purified enzymes and receptors. Kinase inhibition assays can be performed to measure its effect on ERK1/2 phosphorylation using recombinant proteins and specific substrates. COX-2 enzyme activity can be assessed using colorimetric or fluorometric assays that measure prostaglandin production. Receptor binding assays, such as those for GABA receptors, can be conducted using radioligand competition binding with membrane preparations. IC50 values for enzyme inhibition or receptor binding are determined from dose-response curves. These cell-free systems help elucidate the compound's direct molecular targets without cellular interference.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for Oxysophocarpine typically employ cancer cell lines such as SCC-9 and SCC-15 (OSCC) or primary neuronal cultures. Cells are cultured in appropriate media and treated with the compound at varying concentrations (e.g., 1-5 μM for neuroprotection, or higher for cancer studies). Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CCK-8 assays. Apoptosis is evaluated through flow cytometry using Annexin V/PI staining. Cell migration and invasion are measured using Transwell or wound-healing assays. For neuroprotection studies, neurons are subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/RP), and cell injury is measured by LDH release. Western blotting is performed to detect expression changes in Nrf2, HO-1, MAPK, and NF-κB pathway proteins.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with Oxysophocarpine are conducted in mouse models. For anti-nociceptive studies, mice are administered the compound and pain responses are measured. For inflammatory conditions, models such as colitis or NASH are used, with endpoints including serum transaminase levels, lipid profiles, and inflammatory cytokines. For cancer studies, OSCC xenograft models are established by subcutaneous injection of cancer cells, followed by compound administration. Tumor volume and weight are monitored. Endpoint analyses include assessment of Nrf2/HO-1 axis activation, proliferation markers, and apoptosis in tumor tissues. Dosing regimens and routes of administration are determined based on the specific model and study objectives.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Oxysophocarpine have been partially characterized. As a quinolizidine alkaloid with a molecular weight of 262.35, it is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability. The compound is soluble in chloroform, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, DMSO, and acetone. For in vivo studies, it can be formulated in suitable vehicles. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, Tmax, AUC, and protein binding are less extensively documented. Researchers often refer to general alkaloid pharmacokinetic profiles for experimental design. The compound should be stored as a powder at -20°C for up to three years and in solution at -80°C for up to one year.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicological profile of Oxysophocarpine is not extensively characterized in the available literature. As a natural alkaloid, it may have dose-dependent toxicity at high concentrations. The compound is intended for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications. In animal studies, it has been administered at various doses without significant adverse effects reported, but comprehensive toxicity studies including acute, subchronic, and chronic toxicity assessments are limited. Researchers should follow standard laboratory safety practices when handling Oxysophocarpine. The compound's effects at high concentrations and potential interactions with other drugs or compounds have not been fully investigated.

Additional Infomation
Matridin-15-one, 13,14-disehydro-,1-oxide has been reported in Sophora alopecuroides, Sophora viciifolia, and other organisms with available data.
Beyond its primary activities, Oxysophocarpine serves as a valuable research tool for studying the interplay between inflammation and cancer, particularly through the Nrf2/HO-1 and MAPK/NF-κB pathways. It is used to investigate neuroprotective mechanisms in models of excitotoxicity and oxidative stress. The compound's ability to modulate inflammatory cytokines makes it relevant for research into inflammatory bowel disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Its anti-nociceptive effects are studied in pain research. Oxysophocarpine is also used as a reference standard in analytical chemistry for the quality control of herbal medicines containing Sophora alkaloids.
