| Targets |
Protein Tyrosine Kinase/RTK (Receptor Tyrosine Kinase). Tephrosin is a natural product inhibitor of protein tyrosine kinases, disrupting the phosphorylation and activation of these key signaling enzymes involved in cell growth and survival.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Applying tephrosin (0–10μM) to HT-29 cells prevents EGFR, ErbB2, and ErbB3 from being constitutively and ligand-phosphorylated. This also suppresses the activation of downstream signaling molecules like Akt and Erk1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) [1].
Tephrosin is a natural rotenoid that has been identified as a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Its mechanism of action involves blocking the activity of various receptor tyrosine kinases, which disrupts downstream signaling cascades such as the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways. This leads to the inhibition of cancer cell proliferation and the induction of apoptosis. |
| ln Vivo |
Tephrosin has been studied for its anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties in preclinical models. It has demonstrated the ability to inhibit the growth of various cancer cell lines and to reduce inflammatory responses. As a natural product, it serves as a chemical probe for studying the role of specific tyrosine kinases in disease pathophysiology.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Cell-free protein tyrosine kinase assays are performed using a panel of recombinant human RTKs. The compound is incubated with an individual RTK, a peptide substrate, and ATP for 30-60 minutes. Kinase activity is measured using a luminescence-based ADP detection kit or a TR-FRET assay. The IC50 values against specific RTKs are determined.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cancer cell lines with high RTK expression are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with Tephrosin at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 50 uM for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using the MTT assay. The effect on RTK phosphorylation and downstream signaling (p-ERK, p-AKT) is measured by Western blot. Apoptosis is assessed by Annexin V/PI staining.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo studies, Tephrosin would be administered to mice bearing tumor xenografts, typically by intraperitoneal injection. Dosing regimens and routes are not standardized and would depend on the specific formulation and solubility. Tumor volumes are measured with calipers. At study termination, tumors are excised for pharmacodynamic and histological analysis. No detailed protocols are available.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
As a natural product, Tephrosin has a molecular weight of 410.42 (C23H22O7) and a CAS number of 76-80-2. It is soluble in DMSO (100 mg/mL) and ethanol. PK parameters such as oral bioavailability, half-life, and clearance have not been systematically characterized. Its stability in biological fluids is unknown. It is typically stored at -20degC.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data are reported for Tephrosin. As a natural rotenoid, its safety profile is not well-characterized. Rotenoids are generally considered toxic to insects and fish, and some can cause Parkinsonian symptoms in animal models at high doses. This compound is for research use only and is not for human consumption.

| Additional Infomation |
Tephrosin belongs to the rotenone class of compounds, with the chemical formula 13,13a-dihydro-3H-chromeno[3,4-b]pyrano[2,3-h]chromeno-7(7aH)-one, substituted with a geminal methyl group at position 3, a hydroxyl group at position 7a, and methoxy groups at positions 9 and 10 (7aR,13aR stereoisomers). It was isolated from the leaves and branches of Antheroporum pierrei and possesses antitumor and insecticidal activities. It can be used as an insecticide, an antitumor agent, and a metabolite. It is an organic heteropentacyclic compound, belonging to the aromatic ether, cyclic ketone, and rotenone class. Tephrosin has been reported to exist in Derris elliptica, Mundulea sericea, and several other organisms with relevant data.
Other information: Tephrosin (CAS 76-80-2) is a research-grade natural product, not an FDA-approved drug. It is a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor and is used as a chemical probe to study RTK signaling. Its anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties make it a tool for drug discovery. Purity is typically ≥95-98%. Synonyms: Deguelinol I; Hydroxydeguelin. For research use only. |
