Product Description
Pseudopelletierine (NSC 116056; Granatan-3-one; Granatonine) is a naturally occuring alkaloid and a main inggredient found in the root-bark of the pomegranate tree (Punica granatum), along with at least three pelletierine, isopelletierine, and methylpelleteirine (C9H17ON), which yield 1.8, 0.52, 0.01, and 0.20 grams per kilogram of raw bark.
Pseudopelletierine free base (CAS# 552-70-5) is a naturally occurring bicyclic tropane alkaloid, also known as granatanone or psi-pelletierine, with the systematic name 9-methyl-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one. It is the main alkaloid derived from the root-bark of Punica granatum (pomegranate), along with other alkaloids such as pelletierine and isopelletierine. Pseudopelletierine has a molecular formula of C₉H₁₅NO and a molecular weight of 153.22 g/mol. It serves as a versatile starting material and scaffold for the synthesis of complex molecules, including pharmacologically active derivatives. The compound has been shown to inhibit cancer cell viability and exhibit inhibitory effects on inflammatory diseases. Pseudopelletierine is an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor and has been used as an enzyme substrate in biochemical research. It is primarily a research tool for studying alkaloid pharmacology and inflammatory diseases.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Pseudopelletierine targets acetylcholine esterase (AChE) as an inhibitor. By inhibiting AChE, it prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine, leading to increased cholinergic signaling. The compound also inhibits mitochondrial membrane potential, which may contribute to its anti-cancer effects. It triggers a stimulant reflex similar to strychnine and has been shown to be effective against tapeworms, ringworms, and nematodes. Pseudopelletierine's interaction with cholinergic pathways and its effects on cellular energy metabolism make it a valuable tool for studying neurological and inflammatory conditions.
ln Vitro
In vitro, pseudopelletierine has been shown to inhibit cancer cell viability and exhibit inhibitory effects on inflammatory diseases. It inhibits mitochondrial membrane potential, which may contribute to its anti-cancer effects. Simple bark-extracts containing pseudopelletierine have been shown to be effective in vitro against intestinal bacteria such as Salmonella typhi, Vibrio cholerae, herpes simplex virus, HIV, and tumors. Nematicidal activity assays have shown differences in activity between isopelletierine and pseudopelletierine. Pseudopelletierine derivatives have been synthesized to mimic the anti-inflammatory activity of curcumin while improving its bioavailability.
ln Vivo
In vivo, pseudopelletierine triggers a stimulant reflex similar to strychnine and is effective against tapeworms, ringworms, and nematodes. It has been shown to be effective in treating inflammatory diseases. The compound has been used in traditional medicine for its anthelmintic properties. For in vivo formulation, pseudopelletierine free base can be prepared in a solution of 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween 80 + 45% saline. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data in modern pharmacological models are limited, and the compound is primarily used in research settings.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for pseudopelletierine typically involve measuring its inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. The assay uses a colorimetric method based on Ellman's reaction, where AChE is incubated with varying concentrations of pseudopelletierine and the substrate acetylthiocholine. The hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine produces thiocholine, which reacts with 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) to produce a yellow color measured at 412 nm. The IC₅₀ value for AChE inhibition is calculated from the dose-response curve. This assay confirms the compound's mechanism as an AChE inhibitor.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for pseudopelletierine evaluate its effects on cancer cell viability and inflammatory responses. Cancer cells (e.g., HEK293, various carcinoma lines) are cultured in appropriate media and treated with serial dilutions of pseudopelletierine for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. Mitochondrial membrane potential is measured using fluorescent dyes such as JC-1. Inflammatory responses are evaluated by measuring cytokine production in immune cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The compound's effects on cell proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammatory markers are quantified to determine its bioactivity.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for pseudopelletierine are limited in modern pharmacological literature. However, the compound has been studied in the context of traditional medicine for its anthelmintic properties. For potential in vivo studies, pseudopelletierine can be administered orally or via intraperitoneal injection in animal models of parasitic infection or inflammation. The compound can be formulated in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween 80 + 45% saline. Pharmacodynamic endpoints would include assessment of parasite burden, inflammatory markers, and survival. However, comprehensive modern in vivo studies are lacking.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic (PK) data for pseudopelletierine are limited. The compound has a molecular weight of 153.22 g/mol and is a volatile, strong base. One gram dissolves in about 2.5 ml water and 10 ml ether; it is freely soluble in alcohol and chloroform, sparingly soluble in petroleum ether. The hydrochloride salt form provides aqueous solubility not achievable with the free base. The free base has limited aqueous solubility and oxidative sensitivity. Pseudopelletierine is sparingly soluble in methanol, which influences its bioavailability. Comprehensive ADME studies are needed.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of pseudopelletierine has been characterized in basic toxicological studies. The acute subcutaneous LDLo in mice is 200 mg/kg, and in guinea pigs it is 230 mg/kg. The compound causes skin irritation (Category 2), serious eye irritation (Category 2), and specific target organ toxicity - single exposure (Category 3). Under fire conditions, it may decompose and emit toxic fumes. The compound should be handled with appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection. For research use only, not for human therapeutic use.

Additional Infomation
It has been reported that pomegranates contain 9-methyl-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-3-one, and there is relevant data.
Pseudopelletierine (NSC 116056, Granatan-3-one, Granatonine) is a naturally occurring tropane alkaloid and the main alkaloid derived from the root-bark of Punica granatum. It is an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor that has been shown to be effective in treating inflammatory diseases. The synthesis of pseudopelletierine is based on a modification of the classic Ugi 4-component reaction and was achieved through asymmetric synthesis. The crystal structure of pseudopelletierine was determined by X-ray diffraction and found to have a monoclinic form with space group P2/c. Pseudopelletierine has been shown to inhibit cancer cell viability and mitochondrial membrane potential. It is primarily a research tool and has not progressed to clinical trials.
