Product Description
Sophoranone is a flavonoid that can be isolated from the root of Sophora subprostrata.
Sophoranone (CAS 23057-55-8, also known as (-)-Sophoranone) is a naturally occurring dihydroxyflavanone isolated from the roots of Sophora species, particularly Sophora flavescens and Sophora tonkinensis. It has a molecular formula of C30H36O4 and a molecular weight of 460.6 g/mol. The chemical name is (2S)-2,3-dihydro-7-hydroxy-2-[4-hydroxy-3,5-bis(3-methyl-2-buten-1-yl)phenyl]-8-(3-methyl-2-buten-1-yl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one. Sophoranone is a prenylated flavonoid with potential anticancer and other biological activities.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Sophoranone has been identified as a potential inhibitor of sialidase (neuraminidase), with a binding affinity (BindP) of 9.9868 and an inhibitory activity of 0.584. Sialidases are enzymes that cleave sialic acid residues from glycoproteins and glycolipids, playing roles in various biological processes including cell adhesion, immune regulation, and cancer metastasis. Sophoranone's activity against sialidase may contribute to its potential anticancer effects.
ln Vitro
Sophoranone has been studied for its in vitro activities, particularly its potential anticancer effects. The compound has been evaluated in systems pharmacology databases for its activity against stomach cancer. As a prenylated flavonoid, Sophoranone may exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities through various mechanisms including enzyme inhibition and modulation of signaling pathways.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity of Sophoranone has been suggested based on its identification as a potential anticancer compound in systems pharmacology databases. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data have not been extensively reported in the available literature. The compound is a natural product that has been identified in traditional Chinese medicine and is being investigated for its potential therapeutic applications.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cell-based binding assays for Sophoranone typically involve measuring the affinity of the compound for its target, sialidase. A standard protocol includes surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or fluorescence polarization using purified sialidase protein. The compound's ability to inhibit sialidase activity can be assessed using a fluorogenic substrate such as 4-methylumbelliferyl-N-acetylneuraminic acid (MU-NANA). The inhibition constant (Ki) or IC50 can be determined from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for Sophoranone typically involve cancer cell lines to assess antiproliferative activity. A representative protocol includes: culturing cancer cells (e.g., gastric cancer cell lines) in appropriate medium, treating with Sophoranone at various concentrations (0.1–100 μM) for 48–72 hours, and assessing cell viability using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. The compound's effects on cell migration and invasion can also be assessed using scratch wound healing or Transwell assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies with Sophoranone have not been extensively reported in the available literature. If conducted, a typical protocol would involve xenograft mouse models of cancer, with administration of the compound via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection at doses determined from pharmacokinetic studies. Tumor growth, body weight, and survival would be monitored, and tumors would be harvested for histopathological analysis.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Sophoranone have not been extensively reported in the available literature. As a natural product with a molecular weight of 460.6 g/mol and moderate lipophilicity, it is expected to have reasonable oral bioavailability. The compound is a prenylated flavonoid, and its metabolism may involve phase I and phase II metabolic pathways typical of flavonoids.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
As a natural product research compound, Sophoranone is not intended for human therapeutic use without further development, and comprehensive toxicological data are limited. Standard safety assessments would include cytotoxicity screening in normal and cancer cell lines and preliminary toxicology studies in animal models. The compound should be handled with appropriate safety precautions in the laboratory.
