Product Description
Tomatidine is a potent inhibitor of Staphylococcus aureus small-colony variants, also acting as an anti-inflammatory agent by blocking NF-κB and JNK signaling.
Tomatidine is a steroidal alkaloid naturally occurring in tomatoes and other Solanaceous plants. It acts as an anti-inflammatory agent by blocking NF-κB and JNK signaling pathways. Tomatidine activates autophagy in mammalian cells and C. elegans. It inhibits the phosphorylation of ERK and Akt, as well as the nuclear content of NF-κB. Tomatidine has been studied for its role in promoting muscle growth and reducing muscle atrophy, making it a promising compound in the field of sports nutrition and muscle-related diseases.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary targets of Tomatidine are NF-κB and JNK signaling pathways. It inhibits NF-κB nuclear translocation and JNK activation. Tomatidine inhibits the phosphorylation of I-κB, blocks I-κB production, and suppresses p65 NF-κB translocation to the nucleus. It also inhibits the phosphorylation of ERK and Akt. By modulating these pathways, tomatidine reduces the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and COX-2 in LPS-stimulated mouse macrophages.
ln Vitro
Tomatidine inhibits NF-κB nuclear translocation, JNK activation, and I-κBα phosphorylation, which in turn inhibits c-jun phosphorylation and Oct-2 expression, hence reducing inducible NO synthase and COX-2 expression. At 40 μM, the formation of nitrite was suppressed by 66%, 22%, and 41% of tomate, solanine, and diosgenin, respectively. Tomatine generated a dose-dependent suppression of LPS-induced iNOS expression, and iNOS protein was hardly detectable in unstimulated cells but rose considerably following LPS treatment. Since p65 is a key component of NF-κB in LPS-stimulated macrophages, it was determined how tomatidine affected p65's ability to bind DNA. A dose-dependent inhibition of NF-κB binding activity was observed at tomatine doses of 10–40 μM. Tomatidine suppresses I-κB phosphorylation, prevents I-κB synthesis, and further suppresses the translocation of p65 NF-κB to the nucleus, controlling binding activity [1].
In vitro, Tomatidine decreases inducible NO synthase and COX-2 expression through suppression of NF-κB and JNK pathways in LPS-stimulated mouse macrophages. At 40 μM, tomatidine shows 66% inhibition of nitrite production. The iNOS protein is barely detectable in unstimulated cells but markedly increases after LPS treatment, and tomatidine causes dose-dependent inhibition of LPS-induced iNOS expression. In the presence of tomatidine at 10-40 μM, the binding activity of NF-κB is suppressed in a dose-dependent manner.
ln Vivo
Tomatidine activates autophagy in mammalian cells and C. elegans. It has been studied for its role in promoting muscle growth and reducing muscle atrophy. The compound exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. Tomatidine inhibits the phosphorylation of ERK and Akt, as well as the nuclear content of NF-κB. It has been used in research on muscle-related diseases and sports nutrition.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for Tomatidine involve measuring its inhibition of NF-κB DNA-binding activity. RAW 264.7 macrophages are cultured and stimulated with LPS in the presence of varying concentrations of tomatidine (10-40 μM). The DNA-binding activity of p65, the major component of NF-κB, is determined using an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The inhibition of I-κBα phosphorylation is assessed by Western blotting. JNK activation is measured by detecting phosphorylated JNK levels.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Tomatidine are performed using RAW 264.7 murine macrophages. Cells are cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum in a 5% CO₂ atmosphere at 37 °C. Cells are plated and treated with vehicle, test compounds, and/or LPS under serum-free conditions. Nitrite production is measured using the Griess assay. iNOS and COX-2 expression are assessed by Western blotting.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for Tomatidine are limited in the available literature. The compound has been studied for its role in promoting muscle growth and reducing muscle atrophy in animal models. However, specific detailed protocols for in vivo studies are not well-documented. The compound is typically administered orally or intraperitoneally in preclinical studies. Efficacy is evaluated by measuring muscle mass and function.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of Tomatidine indicate that it has a molecular weight of 415.65 and a molecular formula of C27H45NO2. The powder is stable when stored at -20°C for up to 3 years or at 4°C for up to 2 years. In solvent, it can be stored at -80°C for 6 months or at -20°C for 1 month. The compound is soluble in DMSO and other organic solvents. It has a LogP of 4.9. Storage at -20°C is recommended.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicology (toxicology) data for Tomatidine indicate that it is generally well-tolerated in preclinical studies. As a steroidal alkaloid found in tomatoes, it has a favorable safety profile at moderate doses. The compound does not inhibit the hedgehog pathway, unlike its structural analog cyclopamine. However, long-term safety data are limited. The compound is for research use only and not for human therapeutic use.

Additional Infomation
Tomatine is a 3β-hydroxy steroid formed by replacing the 3β-hydrogen of lycine with a hydroxyl group. It is an azaspirocyclic compound, an oxaspirocyclic compound, and a 3β-hydroxy steroid. It is the conjugate base of tomatine (1+). It is derived from the hydride of lycine. Tomatine has been reported to exist in potato (Solanum tuberosum), Solanum kieseritzkii, and other organisms with relevant data.
