Product Description
Sinapine is an alkaloid extracted from the seeds of Brassicaceae species. Sinapine has anti~inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-angiogenic and radioprotective effects. Sinapine is also an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor and has been utilized in study/research of Alzheimer's disease (AD), ataxia, myasthenia gravis and Parkinson's disease (PD).
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE); P-glycoprotein (P-gp)
Sinapine: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) (IC₅₀ = 1.25 mM for AChE inhibition) [4]
Sinapine: P-glycoprotein (P-gp) (downregulates P-gp expression in Caco-2 cells) [3]
ln Vitro
In cardiomyocytes, sinapine (6 or 60 μM; 1 hour) counteracts the oxidative stress caused by H2O2 and antimycin A on the mitochondria [1]. With relatively low toxicity, sinapine (10-200 μM; 24 h) suppresses Caco-2 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner [3]. By causing a reduction in P-glycoprotein (P-gp), sinapine (10-200 μM; 24 hours) stimulates the accumulation of doxorubicin in Caco-2 cells [3]. The phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and FRS2α is considerably reduced by sinapine (10-200 μM; 24 hours) [3].
1. In H9c2 cardiomyocytes exposed to H₂O₂ (200 μM) for 24 h to induce mitochondrial oxidative stress, pretreatment with Sinapine (10 μM, 2 h) significantly reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels (ROS fluorescence intensity decreased by ~45% compared with H₂O₂-only group), restored mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm, JC-1 red/green fluorescence ratio increased from 0.62 to 1.18), inhibited cytochrome c release from mitochondria to cytoplasm (protein level decreased by ~50%), and reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis (apoptotic rate decreased from 32% to 11%); in contrast, sinapic acid (10 μM) showed no such protective effects [1]
2. In human colon adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cells treated with Sinapine at concentrations of 0.1–1 mM for 24/48/72 h, the compound exhibited concentration- and time-dependent antiproliferative activity; at 1 mM for 72 h, cell viability decreased to 62% of the control group; additionally, Sinapine (0.5 mM, 48 h) downregulated P-gp protein expression by ~35% and mRNA expression by ~40% in Caco-2 cells, as detected by western blot and RT-PCR respectively [3]
3. In in vitro antioxidant activity assays, Sinapine (extracted from rapeseed pomace) showed dose-dependent free radical scavenging capacity: it scavenged DPPH radicals with an IC₅₀ of 0.83 mM, and ABTS⁺ radicals with an IC₅₀ of 0.76 mM; it also exhibited ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of 0.32 mM Fe²⁺ equivalent at a concentration of 1 mM [4]
4. In AChE inhibition assays, Sinapine inhibited AChE activity with an IC₅₀ of 1.25 mM; the inhibition was non-competitive (no significant competition with acetylcholine substrate, as shown by Lineweaver-Burk plots) [4]
ln Vivo
By altering the makeup of the intestinal microbiota in mice, sinapine lowers the incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [2].
1. In C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks to induce non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), oral administration of Sinapine (50 mg/kg body weight/day, 8 weeks) significantly improved liver steatosis: hepatic triglyceride (TG) content decreased by ~42%, total cholesterol (TC) content decreased by ~35%, and serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels decreased by ~38% and ~40% respectively compared with HFD-only group; the compound also modulated gut microbiota composition, increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria (Bifidobacterium increased by ~65%, Akkermansia increased by ~58%) and reducing the abundance of pathogenic bacteria (Desulfovibrio decreased by ~45%); additionally, it upregulated hepatic AMPK phosphorylation (by ~50%) and downregulated SREBP-1c expression (by ~32%) to improve lipid metabolism [2]
2. In growing rats fed a diet supplemented with Sinapine (0.15% and 0.3% of diet weight, 4 weeks), the compound at 0.3% dose reduced daily food intake by ~12% and increased feed conversion ratio (FCR) by ~8% compared with control group; it had no significant effect on protein digestibility, but increased fat digestibility by ~6% at 0.15% dose; no significant changes in body weight gain were observed in either dose group [5]
Enzyme Assay
1. For AChE inhibition assay of Sinapine: Prepare the reaction system containing AChE solution, buffer (pH 8.0) and serial concentrations of Sinapine (0.25–2.5 mM); pre-incubate the mixture at 37°C for 15 min; add acetylthiocholine iodide (substrate) to initiate the reaction and incubate for another 30 min at 37°C; add DTNB (color-developing reagent) to terminate the reaction and measure absorbance at 412 nm with a microplate reader; calculate the inhibition rate of each concentration and fit the data to obtain the IC₅₀ value; conduct Lineweaver-Burk plot analysis by varying substrate concentrations at fixed Sinapine concentrations to determine the inhibition type [4]
2. For antioxidant activity (DPPH radical scavenging) assay of Sinapine: Prepare DPPH solution (0.1 mM) in ethanol; mix equal volumes of DPPH solution with serial concentrations of Sinapine (0.2–2 mM); incubate the mixture in the dark at room temperature for 30 min; measure absorbance at 517 nm with a spectrophotometer; calculate the scavenging rate using the formula [(A_control - A_sample)/A_control] × 100% and determine the IC₅₀ value for DPPH scavenging [4]
3. For ABTS⁺ radical scavenging assay of Sinapine: Generate ABTS⁺ radical cation by reacting ABTS solution with potassium persulfate and incubating at room temperature for 12–16 h in the dark; dilute the ABTS⁺ solution with buffer to obtain an absorbance of 0.70 ± 0.02 at 734 nm; mix ABTS⁺ solution with serial concentrations of Sinapine (0.2–2 mM); incubate for 6 min at room temperature; measure absorbance at 734 nm and calculate the scavenging rate to determine the IC₅₀ value [4]
Cell Assay
The Caco-2 cells are seeded into a 96-well plate with 8000 cells/well for 24 h. After incubation with different doses of Sinapine (0-200 μM), doxorubicin, or both for 24 h, the medium is discarded. Cell survival after exposure to Sinapine alone or a combination of Sinapine and the anti-tumor agent doxorubicin is examined by MTT colorimetric assay[3].
1. For H9c2 cardiomyocyte mitochondrial oxidative stress protection assay: Seed H9c2 cells in culture plates and culture until 70–80% confluence; pretreat cells with Sinapine (1, 5, 10 μM) or sinapic acid (10 μM) for 2 h; induce oxidative stress by adding H₂O₂ (200 μM) and incubate for 24 h; detect intracellular ROS using a fluorescent ROS probe and flow cytometry; assess mitochondrial membrane potential with JC-1 fluorescent dye and fluorescence microscopy; measure cytochrome c release by western blot (lyse cells to separate mitochondrial and cytoplasmic fractions, probe with anti-cytochrome c antibody); evaluate apoptosis by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining and flow cytometry [1]
2. For Caco-2 cell antiproliferation and P-gp expression assay: Seed Caco-2 cells in 96-well plates (for viability) or 6-well plates (for gene/protein detection) and culture until logarithmic growth phase; treat cells with Sinapine (0.1, 0.5, 1 mM) for 24, 48, 72 h; detect cell viability using MTT assay at each time point; for P-gp detection, collect cells after 48 h of treatment with 0.5 mM Sinapine, extract total RNA for RT-PCR to measure P-gp mRNA levels (normalize to GAPDH), and extract total protein for western blot to quantify P-gp protein expression (normalize to β-actin) [3]
Animal Protocol
Rats: Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats (95 g) are randomly allotted to 6 groups of 10 rats each and reared in individual cages. Six groups of 10 growing rats each are fed ad libitum for 15 days one of six diets: diet A, rapeseed (3.80 g of sinapine/kg DM); diet B, ethanol/water-extracted rapeseed (0.48 g of sinapine); diet C, control diet; diet G, control diet+3.74 g of extracted sinapine; diet H, control diet + 3.72 g of sinapine+other phenolic compounds; or diet I, control diet+the hydrolysis products of sinapine and other phenolic compounds. The rats are weighed at 8 a.m. on days 1, 4, 8, 11 and 15 of the trial. After sacrifice the gut contents are eliminated to permit determination of empty body weight gain (EBWG). The distribution, refusal and intake of each rat are recorded every day[4].
1. For NAFLD mouse model assay: Use 6-week-old male C57BL/6J mice, randomly divided into control group (normal chow), HFD group (high-fat diet), and Sinapine-treated group (HFD + 50 mg/kg/day Sinapine); construct the NAFLD model by feeding HFD for 12 weeks, and administer Sinapine via oral gavage daily for the last 8 weeks of the HFD feeding period (the compound was dissolved in normal saline to prepare the administration solution); at the end of the experiment, collect mouse serum to detect ALT, AST, TG, TC levels; harvest liver tissue to measure hepatic lipid content, perform H&E staining for histopathological analysis of steatosis, and extract liver protein for western blot to detect AMPK and SREBP-1c expression; collect fecal samples to analyze gut microbiota composition via 16S rRNA gene sequencing [2]
2. For growing rat food intake and nutrient utilization assay: Use weaned male rats, randomly divided into control group (basal diet) and two Sinapine-supplemented groups (basal diet + 0.15% Sinapine, basal diet + 0.3% Sinapine); feed the rats with corresponding diets for 4 weeks, record daily food intake and weekly body weight gain; collect fecal and urine samples during the last 3 days of the experiment to determine nutrient digestibility (protein, fat, carbohydrate); calculate feed conversion ratio (body weight gain/food intake) for each group [5]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
1. In H9c2 cardiomyocytes, mustard gas at concentrations up to 10 μM did not show significant cytotoxicity (cell survival >95% after 24 hours of treatment without H₂O₂ stimulation)[1]
2. In Caco-2 cells, mustard gas at concentrations ≤0.5 mM did not show significant cytotoxicity after 48 hours of treatment (cell survival >85%); only after 72 hours of treatment at a concentration of 1 mM did it show a slight antiproliferative effect (no acute cytotoxicity or apoptosis induction)[3]
3. After mice were treated with 50 mg/kg/day of mustard gas for 8 consecutive weeks, no significant changes were observed in serum BUN, creatinine (renal function index) or liver function index (except for the decrease in ALT/AST in the NAFLD model), and no histopathological damage to the kidneys or heart was detected[2]
4. Rats were fed 0.3% mustard gas for 4 consecutive weeks After administration of mustard, no obvious toxic symptoms (such as diarrhea, weight loss, organ damage) were observed, indicating that it has good in vivo tolerance [5].

Additional Infomation
Sinoporin is an acylcholine with a sinapicoyl group. It functions as an inhibitor of the photosynthetic electron transport chain, an antioxidant, and a plant metabolite. Its function is related to that of trans-sinapic acid.
1. Sinapisine is a natural alkaloid ester derived from sinapic acid, mainly found in rapeseed, mustard seed and their by-products (e.g. rapeseed residue, rapeseed meal); it is one of the main phenolic compounds in these plant materials [4][5]
2. The mechanism by which sinapisine protects cardiomyocytes from mitochondrial oxidative stress includes reducing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), stabilizing mitochondrial membrane potential, inhibiting cytochrome c release and blocking mitochondrial apoptosis pathway; it is noteworthy that its protective effect is specific because its metabolite sinapic acid does not have the same activity [1]
3. Sinapisine mainly improves non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in mice fed a high-fat diet by regulating the composition of gut microbiota (enriching beneficial bacteria and reducing harmful bacteria), thereby improving liver lipid metabolism through the gut-liver axis and directly regulating the liver AMPK/SREBP-1c signaling pathway to inhibit lipogenesis [2]
4. The antiproliferative effect of sinigrin on Caco-2 cells is related to the downregulation of P-gp, a transmembrane efflux pump that mediates multidrug resistance in tumor cells, suggesting its potential application value in reversing drug resistance in colon cancer [3]. 5. Sinigrin has dual biological activities of antioxidation and acetylcholinesterase inhibition, making it a potential natural lead compound for the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease) [4].
