Product Description
Ponicidin (Rubescensine B) is a diterpene developed from Rubescens orynum with Immune-modulatory, anti~inflammatory, antiviral, and anti-cancer activities. Ponicidin (Rubescensine B) can cause apoptosis in gastric cancer/tumor cells and reduce the phosphorylation levels of JAK2 and STAT3, but has no effect on their protein levels alone.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Ponicidin inhibits the phosphorylation of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in MKN28 gastric carcinoma cells. It also downregulates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) protein expression. [1]
ln Vitro
In MKN28 gastric carcinoma cells, Ponicidin (10, 25, and 50 μmol/L) significantly inhibited cell viability in a time- and dose-dependent manner as measured by CCK8 assay. At 50 μmol/L for 48 h, cell viability was markedly decreased. [1]
Ponicidin (10–50 μmol/L for 48 h) induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. The percentage of early apoptotic cells increased from 2.13% ± 0.15% in controls to 59.03% ± 1.84% at 50 μmol/L (P < 0.01). [1]
Cell cycle analysis showed that ponicidin (25–50 μmol/L for 48 h) increased the percentage of cells in G0–G1 phase from 46.40% ± 2.26% (control) to 60.68% ± 0.78% (50 μmol/L) (P < 0.01), and increased the sub-G1 population in a dose-dependent manner. The S and G2–M phase populations decreased. [1]
Ponicidin (10–50 μmol/L) increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in MKN28 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. At 50 μmol/L for 48 h, fluorescence intensity increased from 2826.07% ± 195.51% (control) to 2,102,040% ± 62,200.04% (P < 0.01). [1]
Western blot analysis showed that ponicidin (10–50 μmol/L for 6 h) decreased the phosphorylation of JAK2 and STAT3 in a dose-dependent manner without affecting total JAK2 and STAT3 protein levels. [1]
Ponicidin (25–50 μmol/L for 48 h) decreased the protein expression of VEGF, VEGFR2, and Bcl-2, and increased the expression of Bax and the active form of caspase-3 in a dose-dependent manner. [1]
Caspase-3 activity was increased by ponicidin (10–50 μmol/L) in a time- and dose-dependent manner. At 50 μmol/L for 48 h, caspase-3 activity increased from 15.57% ± 0.47% (control) to 28.76% ± 0.38% (P < 0.01). [1]
Cell Assay
Cell viability was assessed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8). MKN28 cells (5×10³ cells/well) were seeded in 96-well plates and treated with ponicidin (10, 25, 50 μmol/L) for 0, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h. Absorbance was measured at 450 nm. [1]
Apoptosis was detected by annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) double staining and flow cytometry. Cells were treated with ponicidin (10, 25, 50 μmol/L) for 48 h, then resuspended in binding buffer with annexin V-FITC and PI, incubated in the dark for 10 min, and analyzed by flow cytometry. [1]
Cell cycle analysis was performed by PI staining. Cells were treated with ponicidin (10, 25, 50 μmol/L) for 48 h, fixed in 70% cold ethanol overnight, washed, incubated with RNase (1 mg/mL) for 10 min, stained with PI (1 mg/mL) for 30 min at 4°C, and analyzed by flow cytometry. [1]
Intracellular ROS generation was measured using dihydroethidium (DHE). After treatment with ponicidin (10, 25, 50 μmol/L) for 1, 6, 24, and 48 h, cells were resuspended with 50 μmol/L DHE, and fluorescence intensity was measured by flow cytometry. [1]
Western blot analysis was performed using standard protocols. Cells were lysed, proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to membranes, and probed with antibodies against JAK2, p-JAK2, STAT3, p-STAT3, VEGF, VEGFR2, Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3, and GAPDH (loading control). [1]
Caspase-3 activity was measured using a colorimetric assay kit. After treatment, cells were lysed, and 100 μg of protein was incubated with substrate. Absorbance was read at 405 nm. [1]

Additional Infomation
Ponicidin is a diterpenoid compound extracted from the traditional Chinese herbs Rabdosia rubescens or Isodon japonicas. It has been reported to have immunoregulatory, anti-inflammatory, and anti-viral effects, particularly in upper respiratory tract infections. This study demonstrates that ponicidin inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in MKN28 gastric carcinoma cells via suppression of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, downregulation of Bcl-2, upregulation of Bax, and activation of caspase-3. Ponicidin may serve as a potential therapeutic agent for gastric carcinoma. [1]

  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
