Product Description
Pterosin B, an indanone found in bracken (Pteridium aquilinum), is an inhibitor (blocker/antagonist) of salt-inducible kinase 3 (Sik3) signaling. Pterosin B prevents chondrocyte hypertrophy and osteoarthritis in mice by inhibiting Sik3.
Pterosin B (CAS#: 34175-96-7) is an indanone-class sesquiterpenoid naturally isolated from Pteridium aquilinum (bracken fern). It is a potent and specific SIK3 (salt-inducible kinase 3) signaling inhibitor. Pterosin B inhibits KIIS expression, reduces β-amyloid deposition, prevents chondrocyte hypertrophy and osteoarthritis, inhibits cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, improves cognitive impairment, and lowers blood glucose. Its molecular formula is C14H18O2 with a molecular weight of 218.29 g/mol.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Pterosin B primarily targets SIK3 (salt-inducible kinase 3), a member of the AMPK-related kinase family involved in various cellular processes. It suppresses SIK3 downstream cascades by up-regulating phosphorylation levels in the SIK3 C-terminal regulatory domain. It has no effect on SIK1 or SIK2. By inhibiting SIK3, pterosin B modulates glucose production, glycogen content, and other metabolic processes.
ln Vitro
In vitro, pterosin B is a potent and specific SIK3 signaling inhibitor. It up-regulates phosphorylation levels in the SIK3 C-terminal regulatory domain. In mouse hepatoma AML-12 cells, it decreases glycogen content and stimulates an association between PHKG2 and SIK3. It has no effect on SIK1 or SIK2. Its activity is typically evaluated using kinase activity assays and western blotting for phosphorylated SIK3 substrates.
ln Vivo
In vivo, pterosin B prevents chondrocyte hypertrophy and osteoarthritis in mice. It inhibits cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, improves cognitive impairment, and lowers blood glucose. It reduces β-amyloid deposition. These diverse effects are mediated through SIK3 inhibition. However, specific in vivo efficacy data, including dosing regimens and animal models, are not extensively detailed in the available literature. Further studies are needed to fully characterize its in vivo pharmacological profile.
Enzyme Assay
Cell-free assays for pterosin B involve evaluating its inhibitory activity against SIK3. Kinase activity is measured using radioactive or fluorescence-based assays with peptide substrates. Inhibition is assessed by incubating SIK3 with varying concentrations of pterosin B and measuring residual activity. The compound's specificity for SIK3 over SIK1 and SIK2 is confirmed. Its chemical purity and identity are confirmed by HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for pterosin B typically involve treating AML-12 mouse hepatoma cells or other cell types with various concentrations of the compound. SIK3 signaling is assessed by measuring phosphorylation of downstream targets by western blotting. Glycogen content is measured. Cell viability is assessed using standard assays. The compound's effects on glucose production, chondrocyte hypertrophy, and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy are evaluated in appropriate cell models.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for pterosin B are conducted in models of osteoarthritis, cardiac hypertrophy, cognitive impairment, and diabetes. The compound is administered via various routes including oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection. Disease progression is monitored using appropriate endpoints. β-amyloid deposition is measured in brain tissues. Blood glucose levels are monitored. However, specific dosing regimens and experimental protocols are not extensively documented in the available literature.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of pterosin B include a molecular weight of 218.29 g/mol and molecular formula C14H18O2. As a small molecule, it is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability and tissue penetration, including brain penetration. The compound is typically stored as a solid at appropriate conditions. Detailed ADME parameters such as half-life, Cmax, and AUC are not extensively reported in the available literature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of pterosin B has not been extensively characterized in published literature. As a SIK3 inhibitor, potential toxicities may include effects on metabolism and glucose homeostasis. Standard preclinical safety studies would include acute and sub-chronic toxicity assessments in rodent models. The compound is intended for research use only and not for therapeutic applications in humans. Standard safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.
