IC50: 451 μM (α-Glucosidase)[1]
alpha-Glucosidase (IC50: 451 uM) |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro enzyme assays demonstrate that alpha-Glucosidase-IN-24 inhibits yeast alpha-glucosidase with an IC50 of 451 uM. This inhibitory activity is moderate compared to standard alpha-glucosidase inhibitors such as acarbose. The compound is a xanthone glycoside isolated from Swertia kouitchensis. No other specific biological activities (e.g., antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxicity) have been reported for this compound. The compound is primarily a natural product reference standard for phytochemical and enzyme inhibition studies.
|
| ln Vivo |
No specific in vivo data available for alpha-Glucosidase-IN-24. As an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor with moderate potency (IC50 451 uM), it has theoretical potential for postprandial blood glucose reduction in animal models of diabetes. However, in vivo efficacy studies have not been reported in the literature. The compound is used primarily as a research reagent for in vitro enzyme inhibition assays and as a natural product standard for analytical chemistry.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Yeast alpha-glucosidase enzyme (commercially available) is incubated with varying concentrations of alpha-Glucosidase-IN-24 (50-2000 uM) in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8, 100 mM) at 37degC for 10-15 minutes. The substrate p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG, 5 mM) is added to a final volume of 200 uL to initiate the reaction. After incubation for 20-30 minutes at 37degC, the reaction is terminated by adding sodium carbonate solution (Na2CO3, 1 M, 100 uL). The amount of released p-nitrophenol is measured spectrophotometrically at 405 nm using a microplate reader. The percentage of enzyme inhibition is calculated relative to control wells without inhibitor (containing DMSO vehicle). IC50 values are determined by fitting dose-response curves using non-linear regression analysis with GraphPad Prism or similar software (IC50 = 451 uM). Each assay is typically performed in triplicate. Acarbose (IC50 ~0.1-1 mM) is used as a positive control.
|
| Cell Assay |
No published cell-based assays for alpha-Glucosidase-IN-24. For potential cellular studies, Caco-2 human intestinal epithelial cells can be used. Caco-2 cells are cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, non-essential amino acids, and antibiotics. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and grown to confluence for 14-21 days to allow differentiation and expression of brush border alpha-glucosidases. Differentiated cells are treated with alpha-Glucosidase-IN-24 (100-1000 uM) in serum-free medium for 30-60 minutes at 37degC. After treatment, maltose (10 mM) or sucrose (10 mM) is added as substrate and incubated for an additional 30-60 minutes. Glucose produced from disaccharide hydrolysis is measured in the supernatant using a glucose oxidase-peroxidase (GOD-POD) colorimetric assay kit. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or LDH assay to ensure that observed effects are not due to cytotoxicity. However, the high IC50 value may limit its utility in cell-based systems due to solubility or permeability issues.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No published in vivo animal study for alpha-Glucosidase-IN-24. Based on its alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity, a potential in vivo protocol would involve oral administration of alpha-Glucosidase-IN-24 to male ICR mice or Sprague-Dawley rats. The compound is formulated in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na) or 10% DMSO in saline due to its moderate hydrophilicity (xanthone glycoside). A typical dosing range would be 50-500 mg/kg, administered by oral gavage 30 minutes before an oral sucrose or maltose load (2 g/kg). Blood samples are collected from the tail vein at 0, 30, 60, and 120 minutes post-sucrose administration. Blood glucose levels are measured using a glucometer or enzymatic glucose assay kit. The area under the curve (AUC) for blood glucose is calculated for 0-120 minutes. Reduction in AUC compared to vehicle-treated control indicates in vivo alpha-glucosidase inhibition. This protocol has not been validated for this specific compound.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
No specific pharmacokinetic data for alpha-Glucosidase-IN-24. As a xanthone glycoside (MW 582.51), the compound is relatively hydrophilic and likely has poor oral bioavailability due to low intestinal permeability. Glycosidic bonds may be hydrolyzed by intestinal brush border enzymes or gut microbiota prior to absorption. The xanthone aglycone may be absorbed if released. Metabolism would occur in the liver via phase I (oxidation, reduction) and phase II (glucuronidation, sulfation) enzymes. Plasma half-life, Cmax, AUC, clearance, and tissue distribution have not been determined. Solubility: soluble in DMSO (typical solubility for natural glycosides). Storage: powder at -20degC for 3 years; in solvent at -80degC for 6 months.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data for alpha-Glucosidase-IN-24. As a natural product isolated from Swertia kouitchensis (a plant used in traditional medicine), the compound is expected to have low acute toxicity. However, systematic toxicological studies have not been performed. Safety data sheets typically classify the compound as "not a hazardous substance or mixture" under GHS criteria. For research use, standard laboratory safety precautions (gloves, lab coat, eye protection) should be followed. Avoid inhalation, skin contact, and ingestion. Dispose of according to hazardous waste regulations. Not for human use.
