| Targets |
O-Nornuciferine targets the hERG (human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene) potassium channel. It is a potent hERG channel inhibitor. By blocking the hERG channel, the compound modulates potassium ion flow, which is involved in cardiac action potential repolarization. This makes it a valuable tool for studying cardiac electrophysiology and for assessing the potential cardiotoxicity of other compounds.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
O-nornuciferine's in vitro hERG blockages in HEK293 cells had an IC50 of 7.91 μM[1]. In Xenopus oocytes, lotus alkaloids block the hERG channel 47% when O-nornuciferine (100 μM) is present[1].
In vitro, O-Nornuciferine reveals distinct hERG blockages measured in HEK293 cells with an IC50 value of 2.89 μM. In a screening study of herbal materials for hERG blockers, the alkaloid fraction of lotus leaf caused about 50% hERG current inhibition at 100 μg/mL. O-Nornuciferine was identified as one of the compounds responsible for this effect. Standard in vitro assays include electrophysiological recordings using automated two-microelectrode voltage clamp in Xenopus oocytes or patch-clamp in HEK293 cells. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, O-Nornuciferine has been studied for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroactive properties. As a hERG channel inhibitor, it may affect cardiac function in vivo. However, comprehensive in vivo efficacy data from published literature are limited. The compound is primarily used as a research tool for studying hERG channel function and cardiotoxicity.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For non-cell-based receptor binding assays, O-Nornuciferine can be evaluated using membrane preparations from cells expressing hERG channels. Radioligand binding displacement experiments are performed using a suitable radiolabeled ligand such as [3H]-dofetilide. Membrane homogenates are incubated with increasing concentrations of the test compound and a fixed concentration of the radioligand. Bound radioligand is separated from free by rapid filtration. Non-specific binding is determined in the presence of excess unlabeled dofetilide. IC50 values are calculated from displacement curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cellular assays, HEK293 cells expressing hERG channels are cultured in appropriate media. For functional assays, whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology is performed to record hERG currents. Cells are treated with various concentrations of O-Nornuciferine, and the reduction in hERG current amplitude is measured. IC50 values are calculated from concentration-response curves. Alternatively, automated two-microelectrode voltage clamp in Xenopus oocytes can be used.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo animal studies, O-Nornuciferine can be administered to rodents via intraperitoneal injection. In models of cardiac function, ECG parameters such as QT interval are monitored following compound administration to assess hERG-related cardiotoxicity. In models of inflammation or oxidative stress, the compound's protective effects are evaluated. Dosing regimens vary depending on the specific model and desired exposure levels.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
O-Nornuciferine has a molecular weight of 281.35 g/mol and a molecular formula of C18H19NO2. It has a predicted density of 1.216 g/cm3. The compound is soluble in DMSO at 50 mg/mL (177.71 mM). It should be stored as a powder at -20°C for up to 3 years or in solvent at -80°C for up to 1 year. It is for research use only and is not intended for human consumption.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of O-Nornuciferine is related to its hERG channel inhibitory activity. hERG channel blockade is associated with prolonged QT interval and increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human consumption. Standard safety precautions should be observed when handling the compound.
