Product Description
Isoscabertopin is a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Elephantus scaber L and has anti-tumor activity.
Isoscabertopin is a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Elephantopus scaber L., a small herb belonging to the Asteraceae family that is found in the Neotropics, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. The plant has been traditionally used in various countries for the treatment of various diseases. Isoscabertopin has anti-tumor (anticancer) activity and has been studied for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic properties, with potential applications in cancer research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Isoscabertopin exerts its biological effects through multiple mechanisms. It is known to inhibit NF-κB signaling, a key pathway involved in inflammation, cell survival, and cancer progression. The compound modulates cellular redox balance, thereby regulating apoptosis and inflammatory responses. As a sesquiterpene lactone, Isoscabertopin may also alkylate cellular thiols and modulate other signaling pathways including MAPK and PI3K/Akt. Its anticancer activity involves induction of apoptosis and inhibition of tumor cell proliferation.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Isoscabertopin has demonstrated anticancer activity against various cancer cell lines. The compound's anti-tumor activity has been characterized in cellular assays, where it inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis. Its cytotoxicity is mediated through NF-κB inhibition and modulation of cellular redox balance. Isoscabertopin also exhibits anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. The compound's potency and mechanism of action have been studied in vitro, showing concentration-dependent effects. However, specific in vitro data for Isoscabertopin are limited compared to more extensively studied sesquiterpene lactones.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Isoscabertopin has been studied for its anti-tumor activity. As a sesquiterpene lactone with anticancer properties, it has the potential to suppress tumor growth in animal models. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data for Isoscabertopin are limited. The compound's anti-inflammatory activity suggests potential applications in inflammatory diseases. Further preclinical studies are needed to fully characterize the in vivo activity, pharmacokinetics, and therapeutic potential of Isoscabertopin.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cell-based assays for Isoscabertopin involve characterization of its chemical properties and biological activities. The compound's structure is confirmed by NMR and MS. Its ability to inhibit NF-κB signaling is measured using reporter gene assays or electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA). Antioxidant activity is assessed by DPPH radical scavenging assays. The compound's purity and stability are characterized by HPLC. Enzyme inhibition assays may be used to study its effects on specific targets involved in inflammation or cancer.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for Isoscabertopin are performed using various cancer cell lines. Cells are treated with Isoscabertopin at various concentrations, and cell viability is measured by MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. Apoptosis is assessed by Annexin V/PI staining, caspase activation, and DNA fragmentation. NF-κB activation is evaluated by measuring NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation, IκB degradation, and NF-κB-dependent reporter gene activity. Inflammatory cytokine production is measured by ELISA. Cell cycle analysis is performed by flow cytometry.
Animal Protocol
In vivo experiments with Isoscabertopin are conducted in mouse xenograft models using cancer cell lines. Mice are implanted subcutaneously with tumor cells and, when tumors reach a specified size, treated with Isoscabertopin via oral or intraperitoneal administration. Tumor volume is measured longitudinally, and tumor growth inhibition is calculated. Tumor tissues are harvested for histology and pharmacodynamic analysis including assessment of apoptosis, proliferation, and NF-κB signaling. Body weight and clinical signs are monitored for tolerability. However, detailed in vivo data are limited.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Isoscabertopin have not been extensively characterized. As a sesquiterpene lactone, the compound is expected to have moderate lipophilicity and may be absorbed after oral administration. Its bioavailability, half-life, metabolism, and excretion are not well-defined. The compound's stability in biological matrices and its metabolic fate are areas of ongoing research. Comprehensive PK studies are needed to support further development.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Isoscabertopin has not been comprehensively evaluated. As a natural product with anticancer activity, the compound may have cytotoxic effects at therapeutic concentrations. Sesquiterpene lactones can be hepatotoxic or nephrotoxic at high doses. The compound's safety profile, including genotoxicity, organ toxicity, and maximum tolerated dose, has not been fully characterized. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human consumption.
