Product Description
Palmatine chloride is an orally bioactive, irreversible IDO-1 inhibitor (antagonist) with IC50s of 3 μM and 157 μM for HEK 293-hIDO-1 and rhIDO-1, respectively. Palmatine chloride also noncompetitively inhibits West Nile virus (WNV) NS2B-NS3 protease with IC50 of 96 μM. Palmatine chloride has anticancer, anti~inflammatory, neuro-protective (neuro-protection), antibacterial, and anti-viral effects.
Palmatine chloride (CAS#: 10605-02-4) is a protoberberine alkaloid found in various plants, including Berberis vulgaris and Coptidis rhizoma, which are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. With a molecular formula of C21H22ClNO4 and a molecular weight of 387.86 g/mol, Palmatine chloride is a close structural analog of berberine. The compound's IUPAC name is 2,3,9,10-tetramethoxy-5,6-dihydroisoquinolino[3,2-a]isoquinolin-7-ium; chloride. Palmatine chloride is an orally active and irreversible indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO-1) inhibitor with IC50 values of 3 μM against HEK 293-hIDO-1 and 157 μM against recombinant human IDO-1. The compound also inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Palmatine chloride and its analogues have been reported to exert a wide spectrum of pharmacological effects, including anti-cancer, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotection, antibacterial, antiviral, and regulating blood lipids. Palmatine chloride has been studied for its potential in treating various diseases, including cancer, infectious diseases, and metabolic disorders. The compound is for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO-1). Palmatine chloride is an orally active and irreversible IDO-1 inhibitor with IC50 values of 3 μM against HEK 293-hIDO-1 and 157 μM against recombinant human IDO-1. IDO-1 is an enzyme that catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism. By depleting tryptophan and producing kynurenine, IDO-1 suppresses immune responses and promotes immune tolerance. IDO-1 is often overexpressed in tumors, contributing to immune evasion. By inhibiting IDO-1, Palmatine chloride can restore immune function and enhance anti-tumor immunity. The compound also inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), which are enzymes that break down acetylcholine in the nervous system. Palmatine chloride and its analogues have been reported to exert a wide spectrum of pharmacological effects, including anti-cancer, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotection, antibacterial, antiviral, and regulating blood lipids.
ln Vitro
Palmatin (0-100 μM; 42 h) diminishes the viral titers of DENV-2 and YFV with EC50 values of 26.4 μM and 7.3 μM, respectively, and suppresses WNV with an EC50 value of 3.6 μM [3]. The growth of colon cancer cells is inhibited by palmatin (0-1128 μM; 24-72 hours) [5]. By means of mitochondria-related pathways, palmatin (0-704 μM; 24 hours) can cause AURKA protein levels to drop, G2/M phase arrest, and death in colon cancer cells [5].
Palmatine chloride is an orally active and irreversible IDO-1 inhibitor with IC50 values of 3 μM against HEK 293-hIDO-1 and 157 μM against recombinant human IDO-1. The compound also inhibits AChE and BChE. Palmatine chloride and its analogues have been reported to exert a wide spectrum of pharmacological effects, including anti-cancer, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotection, antibacterial, antiviral, and regulating blood lipids. The compound's IDO-1 inhibitory activity makes it a potential candidate for cancer immunotherapy. Its AChE and BChE inhibitory activity suggests potential applications in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Palmatine chloride's diverse biological activities make it a valuable tool for studying multiple disease pathways.
ln Vivo
Oral palmatine (50 or 100 mg/kg; given once daily for 7 days) reduces the infiltration of inflammatory cells and ameliorates colitis caused by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) [1]. ?In mice, fulminant liver failure produced by lipopolysaccharide and D-galactosamine can be lessened by intraperitoneal injection of palmatin (0-200 mg/kg) once [2]. ?In mice, palmatine (0–1 mg/kg; i.p.; 10 days) has memory-improving effects [4]. ?The growth of HCT-116 xenografts in mice is successfully inhibited by palmatine (33.75–135 mg/kg; oral; once daily for 26 days) [5].
Palmatine chloride has been studied in vivo for its various pharmacological effects. As an orally active IDO-1 inhibitor, it has the potential to modulate immune responses and enhance anti-tumor immunity. The compound's anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and metabolic effects have been evaluated in preclinical models. Palmatine chloride has been shown to exert beneficial effects in models of cancer, infectious diseases, and metabolic disorders. Detailed in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data are available from published studies. The compound is for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use.
Enzyme Assay
IDO-1 enzyme activity assays are performed using recombinant human IDO-1 or IDO-1 from cell lysates. The enzyme is incubated with the substrate L-tryptophan in assay buffer (50 mM phosphate buffer pH 6.5, 20 mM ascorbate, 20 μg/mL catalase, 10 μM methylene blue) at 37°C for 30-60 minutes. The reaction product kynurenine is quantified by HPLC or by measuring absorbance at 321 nm after reaction with Ehrlich's reagent. Palmatine chloride is serially diluted in DMSO and added to the reaction mixture to determine IC50 values. AChE and BChE inhibition assays are performed using the Ellman's method. Each assay includes appropriate controls to validate the results.
