| Targets |
(22S,23S)-Homobrassinolide targets the brassinosteroid-insensitive 1 (BRI1) receptor kinase at the plasma membrane in plants, initiating a phosphorylation cascade that ultimately leads to the de-repression of transcription factors like BES1/BZR1. This pathway regulates plant growth, development, and stress responses. In mammalian systems, the compound shows Akt-dependent anabolic activity, suggesting interaction with the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway through increased Akt phosphorylation, leading to downstream effects on muscle cell metabolism and growth.

| ln Vitro |
(22S,23S)-Homobrassinolide increases the absorption of sucrose and alpha-aminoisobutyric acid while mildly stimulating ferricyanide reduction [2].
In vitro, (22S,23S)-Homobrassinolide shows Akt-dependent anabolic activity in rat skeletal muscle cells. It slightly stimulates ferricyanide reduction and promotes the uptake of sucrose and alpha-aminoisobutyric acid in plant cell systems. In rat skeletal muscle cells, the compound enhances protein synthesis and anabolic signaling through Akt activation. These effects are concentration-dependent and demonstrate the compound's ability to modulate both plant and mammalian cellular processes. The compound exhibits significant activity in promoting growth across various plant bioassay systems. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, (22S,23S)-Homobrassinolide is orally active and has been studied for its effects on plant growth and development. In plant systems, it promotes stem elongation, root growth, and seed germination. In mammalian models, the compound's anabolic activity has been evaluated for potential applications in muscle wasting conditions. The compound's oral bioavailability and anabolic effects make it a candidate for further investigation in metabolic and musculoskeletal disorders. However, most in vivo studies have focused on agricultural applications rather than therapeutic use.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cell-based assays for (22S,23S)-Homobrassinolide typically involve receptor binding studies using plant membrane preparations containing BRI1 receptor kinase. Radiolabeled or fluorescently labeled brassinolide analogs are used in competitive binding assays to measure the affinity of (22S,23S)-Homobrassinolide for BRI1. Membrane fractions are incubated with labeled ligand and increasing concentrations of unlabeled (22S,23S)-Homobrassinolide, then bound and free ligand are separated by filtration or centrifugation. Binding affinity (Kd) and competitive inhibition (IC₅₀) are calculated from binding curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for (22S,23S)-Homobrassinolide are performed using plant cell cultures or mammalian cell lines. In plant cells, the compound's ability to promote growth is assessed by measuring cell elongation, division, or biomass accumulation. In rat skeletal muscle cells (e.g., L6 myotubes), Akt-dependent anabolic activity is measured by assessing protein synthesis (³H-leucine incorporation), Akt phosphorylation (Western blot), and expression of anabolic markers (mTOR, p70S6K). Cell viability and proliferation are measured by MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. Concentration-response curves are generated to determine potency.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo experiments with (22S,23S)-Homobrassinolide are primarily conducted in plant systems and, to a lesser extent, in animal models. In plants, the compound is applied as a foliar spray or soil drench, and growth parameters (stem height, root length, leaf area, biomass) are measured over time. In rodent models, (22S,23S)-Homobrassinolide is administered orally or intraperitoneally, and anabolic effects are assessed by measuring muscle mass, grip strength, and protein synthesis rates. Pharmacodynamic markers including Akt phosphorylation and downstream signaling are evaluated in muscle tissues.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
(22S,23S)-Homobrassinolide is orally active and demonstrates favorable pharmacokinetic properties for an orally administered compound. Following oral administration, the compound is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed to target tissues. The compound's bioavailability and systemic exposure have been characterized in preclinical studies. In plant systems, the compound is taken up through roots and leaves and translocated to growing tissues. Metabolic stability and clearance mechanisms are typical of steroid-like compounds, with hepatic metabolism and biliary excretion playing roles in elimination.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of (22S,23S)-Homobrassinolide has been evaluated primarily in agricultural and ecotoxicological contexts. As a plant growth regulator, the compound is considered to have low toxicity to mammals at agricultural application rates. In preclinical studies, no significant acute or chronic toxicity has been reported at pharmacological doses. The compound's safety profile is favorable, with no major organ toxicity or genotoxicity identified. However, comprehensive toxicological evaluations for therapeutic use would be required for clinical development.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C.
