Product Description
Sennidin A can be extracted from Cassia angustifolia and can inhibit HCV (hepatitis C virus) NS3 helicase with IC50 of 0.8 μM. Sennidin A induces the phosphorylation of Akt and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4). Sennidin A stimulates glucose incorporation.
Sennidin A (CAS# 641-12-3) is a natural product isolated from the leaves of Cassia angustifolia. It is a dimeric anthraquinone with two hydroxyanthraquinone-like moieties. The compound inhibits HCV NS3 helicase with an IC₅₀ of 0.8 μM, induces phosphorylation of Akt and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), and stimulates glucose incorporation.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary targets of Sennidin A include HCV NS3 helicase, a key enzyme in hepatitis C virus replication. The compound also targets the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, inducing phosphorylation of Akt and GLUT4 translocation. This leads to increased glucose incorporation in adipocytes in an insulin-independent manner.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Sennidin A inhibits HCV NS3 helicase with an IC₅₀ of 0.8 μM. It induces the phosphorylation of Akt and GLUT4 translocation, stimulating glucose incorporation. In rat adipocytes, Sennidin A stimulates glucose incorporation in a PI3K- and Akt-dependent but IR/IRS1-independent manner. The compound also shows necrosis-avid imaging properties.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies on Sennidin A are limited. Based on its mechanism of action, the compound may have potential in the treatment of HCV infection and metabolic disorders. Its glucose transport-stimulating activity suggests potential in diabetes research. Further in vivo studies are needed to fully characterize its pharmacological effects and therapeutic potential.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro enzyme inhibition assays, Sennidin A is tested against HCV NS3 helicase. The helicase enzyme is incubated with varying concentrations of the compound and a DNA/RNA substrate in the presence of ATP. Helicase activity is measured by monitoring the unwinding of the substrate using fluorescence polarization or gel-based assays. IC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell-based assays, Sennidin A is typically tested on adipocytes or HCV-infected cell lines. Adipocytes are treated with the compound at various concentrations (typically 1-100 μM) and glucose uptake is measured using 2-deoxyglucose uptake assays. Phosphorylation of Akt and GLUT4 translocation are assessed by Western blotting. HCV replication inhibition can be evaluated in HCV replicon cell lines.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for Sennidin A have not been extensively reported. Based on its mechanism as an HCV NS3 helicase inhibitor, potential experimental models include HCV-infected mouse models. The compound could be administered orally or intraperitoneally, with viral load and liver function parameters assessed as pharmacodynamic endpoints.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for Sennidin A are limited. As a dimeric anthraquinone with a molecular weight of 538.46 g/mol and formula C₃₀H₁₈O₁₀, it is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability. Standard pharmacokinetic studies would be required to determine its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion profile.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for Sennidin A are limited. As a natural anthraquinone, it may have cytotoxic effects at high concentrations. However, comprehensive toxicological studies have not been extensively reported. The compound is classified as a research-grade reagent and is not for human use.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
