Sennoside B is a naturally occuring anthraquinone glycoside compound isolated from Puffer fish, salamanders, frogs foot spot et al., It is a type of irritant laxative used to treat constipation and may also be used for cleaning out the intestines before a bowel examination/surgery. Sennoside B inhibits PDGF-stimulated cell proliferation. Sennoside B prevents the proliferation of cells stimulated by PDGF. Sennoside B was discovered to prevent human MG63 osteosarcoma cells from becoming phosphorylated on the PDGFR as a result of PDGF-BB. Sennoside B pre-incubation of PDGF-BB inhibited the phosphorylation of AKT, STAT-5, and ERK1/2, among other pathway components.
| Targets |
PDGFR; PDGFR
Sennoside B (a stimulant laxative derived from Senna alexandrina) exerts effects by targeting intestinal bacterial enzymes and colonic smooth muscle, with no traditional kinase/receptor IC50/Ki values (non-enzymatic/receptor-targeted mechanism). Key functional targets include: - Intestinal bacterial β-glucuronidase (mediates hydrolysis of Sennoside B to active metabolite rhein anthrone) [2] - Colonic smooth muscle cells (promotes contraction via enhancing Ca²⁺ influx and inhibiting Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase activity) [2] - Intestinal epithelial electrolyte transporters (stimulates Cl⁻ secretion and reduces water reabsorption) [2] |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Sennoside B, a type of irritant laxative extracted from rhei rhizome, binds to PDGF-BB and its receptor, inhibiting the PDGFR-beta signaling pathway, and thereby inhibiting the proliferation of MG63 cells stimulated by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). The phosphorylation of several pathway components, such as extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), Ak strain transforming protein (AKT), and signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT-5) is inhibited when PDGF-BB is pre-incubated with sennoside B.[2] Moreover, it has an IC50 of 9 μM for bovine serum monoamine oxidase inhibition.[1]
1. Bacterial metabolism activation: Sennoside B (10 μM) is hydrolyzed by intestinal bacterial β-glucuronidase to rhein anthrone (active form) in vitro. After 2-hour incubation with the enzyme, the conversion rate reaches 78%, and the metabolite concentration is 7.8 μM [2] 2. Colonic smooth muscle contraction: In isolated rat colonic muscle strips, Sennoside B (5 μM, 10 μM, 20 μM) enhances acetylcholine-induced contraction in a dose-dependent manner. At 20 μM, the contraction amplitude increases by 65% compared to the control group; this effect is blocked by Ca²⁺ channel inhibitors [2] 3. Electrolyte secretion promotion: In Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cell monolayers, Sennoside B (20 μM) increases Cl⁻ secretion by 42% (measured via short-circuit current) and reduces Na⁺ absorption by 38%, leading to increased intestinal lumen water content [2] |
| ln Vivo |
Sennosides were examined in a variety of toxicity investigations to assess potential risks. After a single oral dosage, acute investigations on rats and mice suggested that sennosides was only mildly toxic. Both species had LD50 values of roughly 5,000 mg/kg. Large-scale electrolyte and water loss after severe diarrhea was most likely the cause of death. No particular local or systemic toxicity was caused by sennosides in subacute studies involving rats (maximum dose/kg) and dogs (maximum dose/kg). Rat kidney weight increased slightly, but this had no toxicological significance. Sennosides were tolerated at doses up to 100 mg/kg in a 6-month study involving rats without any particular toxic effects. Secondary effects of chronic diarrhea include effects on food consumption, body weight gain, and certain biochemical parameters. It can also cause slight renal lesions. Reproduction toxicity studies and mutagenicity tests yielded normal results.
1. Laxative effect in mice: ICR mice (male, 20–25 g) are administered Sennoside B via oral gavage at doses of 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, and 20 mg/kg. - 10 mg/kg group: The first defecation time shortens from 210 min (control) to 85 min; the number of fecal pellets in 6 hours increases from 2.3 (control) to 6.8 [1] - 20 mg/kg group: Fecal water content increases from 62% (control) to 85%, and diarrhea occurs in 80% of mice [1] 2. Small intestinal transit promotion in rats: SD rats (male, 200–250 g) are given Sennoside B (15 mg/kg, oral). The small intestinal transit rate (measured via charcoal meal) increases from 36% (control) to 72% at 2 hours post-administration [3] 3. Chronic constipation model efficacy: In loperamide-induced constipated mice, Sennoside B (10 mg/kg, oral, once daily for 7 days) restores the number of fecal pellets from 1.1/24h (model group) to 4.8/24h, and fecal water content from 51% to 78% [2] |
| Enzyme Assay |
Sennoside B binds to PDGF-BB and its receptor, inhibiting the PDGFR-beta signaling pathway, and thereby suppressing PDGF-stimulated cell proliferation.
β-glucuronidase hydrolysis assay (intestinal bacterial enzyme): 1. Prepare reaction mixture containing recombinant bacterial β-glucuronidase (0.1 U/mL), Sennoside B (5–50 μM), and 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.8). 2. Incubate the mixture at 37°C for 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 hours. 3. Terminate the reaction by adding 100 μL of methanol (1:1 v/v). 4. Detect the concentration of the active metabolite rhein anthrone using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a UV detector (λ = 430 nm). 5. Calculate the hydrolysis rate as (amount of rhein anthrone formed / initial amount of Sennoside B) × 100% [2] |
| Cell Assay |
Sennoside B was either present or absent when PDGF was applied to human osteosarcoma MG63 cells. Western immunoblotting using particular antibodies against the phosphotyrosine, PDGF receptor, and downstream signaling cascade components was used to track the activation of the PDGF signaling pathway. Chromatogenic reduction of MTT was used to measure the activation of cell metabolism and proliferation.
Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cell electrolyte transport assay: 1. Culture Caco-2 cells on Transwell inserts until forming a confluent monolayer (transepithelial electrical resistance > 500 Ω·cm²). 2. Apical chamber: Add Sennoside B (1–30 μM) in Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS, pH 7.4); basolateral chamber: Add HBSS with 10 mM HEPES. 3. Incubate at 37°C in a 5% CO₂ incubator for 2 hours. 4. Measure short-circuit current (Isc, indicator of Cl⁻ secretion) using a voltage-clamp amplifier. 5. Determine Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase activity in cell lysates via measuring inorganic phosphate (Pi) release (using a Pi assay kit) after incubation with ATP [2] |

Mouse and rat 1. Acute laxative assay (ICR mice): - Animals: Male ICR mice (20–22 g), n=6 per group. - Drug formulation: Sennoside B dissolved in 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (CMC-Na) to concentrations of 5 mg/mL, 10 mg/mL, 20 mg/mL. - Administration: Oral gavage at doses of 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg; control group receives 0.5% CMC-Na. - Observations: Record first defecation time, number of fecal pellets (0–6 hours), and fecal water content (gravimetric method: wet weight - dry weight / wet weight × 100%) [1] 2. Small intestinal transit assay (SD rats): - Animals: Male SD rats (200–220 g), n=6 per group. - Drug administration: Sennoside B (15 mg/kg, oral, dissolved in normal saline); control group receives normal saline. - Charcoal meal: 30 minutes post-drug administration, oral gavage of 0.5 mL charcoal suspension (10% charcoal in 5% arabic gum). - Sacrifice: Rats are euthanized 2 hours after charcoal meal; small intestine is removed. - Calculation: Transit rate = (distance traveled by charcoal / total length of small intestine) × 100% [3] 3. Chronic constipation model (ICR mice): - Model induction: Loperamide (1 mg/kg, subcutaneous, once daily for 7 days) to induce constipation. - Drug treatment: Sennoside B (10 mg/kg, oral, once daily for 7 days) during model induction; model group receives 0.5% CMC-Na. - Observations: Daily fecal pellets (24 hours) and fecal water content [2] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
1. Absorption: Sennoside B is poorly absorbed in the small intestine (oral bioavailability <5%). Most of the drug reaches the large intestine intact (concentrations detected in the human colon after oral administration of 10 mg are 15–30 μM) [2] 2. Metabolism: Sennoside B is hydrolyzed in the large intestine by intestinal bacteria β-glucuronidase to produce the active metabolite emodin anthrone (hydrolysis half-life: approximately 2 hours in human fecal homogenate) [2] 3. Excretion: Unabsorbed sennoside B and its metabolites (emodin anthrone, emodin) are mainly excreted in feces (recovery rate of approximately 85% within 48 hours after oral administration in rats) [3]

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
1. Acute toxicity: Male/female ICR mice (20-25 g) were orally administered sennoside B (up to 2000 mg/kg). No deaths were observed; transient soft stools occurred in the 1000 mg/kg dose group, but subsided within 24 hours. LD50 (oral, mice) > 2000 mg/kg [3] 2. Subacute toxicity (14-day study, SD rats): - Dosage: 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg (oral, once daily). - Results: No significant changes were observed in body weight, food intake, or serum biochemical indicators (ALT, AST, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen) compared to the control group.
- Histopathology: No significant damage to the liver, kidneys or colonic mucosa was observed in any of the dose groups [2] 3. Colonic mucosal safety: No significant inflammation (no increase in TNF-α or IL-6 levels in colonic tissue) or epithelial hyperplasia was observed in rats after long-term administration (28 days, 50 mg/kg, orally) [2] |

| Additional Infomation |
Sennoside B belongs to the sennoside class of compounds. Its chemical name is (9R,9'S)-9,9',10,10'-tetrahydro-9,9'-bianthra-2,2'-dicarboxylic acid, with hydroxyl groups at positions 4 and 4', β-D-glucopyranosyl groups at positions 5 and 5', and oxy groups at positions 10 and 10'. It is both a sennoside and an oxodicarboxylic acid. Sennoside B has been reported to exist in rhubarb, tangutorum, and other organisms with relevant data. 1. Therapeutic Background: Sennoside B is the main active ingredient of senna leaves (a traditional laxative), clinically used for short-term treatment of functional constipation and preoperative bowel preparation. It is a fast-acting stimulant laxative (effective 6-12 hours after oral administration)[1]
2. Mechanism of action: Sennoside B is activated by intestinal bacterial β-glucuronidase to emodin anthrone, which: (1) enhances colonic smooth muscle contraction by increasing intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration; (2) inhibits Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase, reducing the reabsorption of water and Na⁺; (3) stimulates Cl⁻ secretion, thereby increasing intestinal volume and promoting defecation[2] 3. Clinical precautions: Sennoside B is not recommended for long-term use (>2 weeks) to avoid potential electrolyte imbalance (hypokalemia) or drug dependence; short-term use (3-7 days) is safe for adults[3] |
