Product Description
Vincosamide, an alkaloid developed from Psychotria leiocarpa extract, inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and has anti~inflammatory activity.
vincosamide (PL-1) is a monoterpene indolic alkaloid (N-β-glucopyranosyl vincosamide) isolated from the methanolic extract of Psychotria leiocarpa leaves. It was identified for the first time in this species in the present study. The compound was evaluated for anti-inflammatory and anticholinesterase effects in rodent models, along with molecular docking simulations. [1]
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) – molecular docking simulations showed interactions with the catalytic and peripheral sites of mouse AChE (mAChE), including residues His447, Trp86, Glu334, Ser203, Tyr124, Trp286, and Tyr341. [1]
ln Vitro
vincosamide (30 mg/kg, oral administration for 7 days) significantly decreased AChE activity in mouse brain structures: in the cerebral cortex by 36±1% (p<0.001); in the hippocampus by 28±3% (p<0.05); in the hypothalamus by 14±2% (p<0.05); no significant effect was observed in the striatum. [1]
Molecular docking simulations revealed that vincosamide interacts with both the catalytic anionic site (active center: His447, Trp86, Glu334, Ser203) and the peripheral anionic site (PAS: Tyr124, Trp286, Tyr341) of mouse AChE. Hydrogen bonds were formed with His447, Tyr124, and Arg296, anchoring the ligand in the active site. [1]
ln Vivo
Oral administration of vincosamide (3, 30, and 100 mg/kg) dose-dependently reduced carrageenan-induced paw edema in mice. At 100 mg/kg, inhibition was 61.30±3% at 1 h, 73.21±2% at 2 h, and 67.94±2% at 4 h (p<0.001 at 2 and 4 h). [1]
In the carrageenan-induced pleurisy model, vincosamide at 3, 30, and 100 mg/kg inhibited leukocyte migration by 76.41±1%, 88.35±2%, and 88.51±1% respectively (p<0.001 for all doses) 4 h after carrageenan injection. [1]
vincosamide (100 mg/kg) significantly reduced mechanical hyperalgesia in mice: 70.00±2% inhibition at 3 h (p<0.01) and 90.86±4% inhibition at 4 h (p<0.001) after carrageenan injection. [1]
vincosamide (100 mg/kg) reduced cold sensitivity induced by acetone: 63.81±2% reduction at 3 h and 64.28±2% at 4 h after carrageenan injection (p<0.001 for both). [1]
Oral administration of vincosamide (30 mg/kg) for 7 days significantly inhibited AChE activity in the cerebral cortex (36±1%, p<0.001), hippocampus (28±3%, p<0.05), and hypothalamus (14±2%, p<0.05) compared to control. [1]
Enzyme Assay
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was measured in mouse brain structures (cerebral cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, striatum). Tissues were homogenized in 10 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4, 1:10 w/v) and centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant was used for the assay. The reaction mixture contained DTNB (1.04 mmol), potassium phosphate buffer (24 mmol, pH 7.2), and 25 mL of sample, pre-incubated for 2 min at 30°C. The reaction was initiated by adding acetylthiocholine iodide (0.8 mM). The product was measured at 412 nm for 2 min. Enzyme activity was expressed as μmol ACSCh/h/mg protein. Protein concentration was determined by Coomassie blue method using bovine serum albumin as standard (cerebral cortex 0.7 mg/mL, hippocampus 0.8 mg/mL, hypothalamus 0.6 mg/mL, striatum 0.4 mg/mL). [1]
Molecular docking simulations were performed using Molegro Virtual Docker v6.0. The crystal structure of mouse AChE (mAChE) complexed with choline (PDB ID: 2HA3) was obtained from the Protein Data Bank. All water molecules and ions were removed. The docking protocol used Moldock Score as scoring function and Moldock Optimizer as search algorithm, with a search sphere radius of 11 Å around the catalytic site. The enzyme torsion angles were restricted, while the ligand was allowed flexibility. Redocking simulations were repeated five times, and results were reproducible. [1]
Animal Protocol
For anti-inflammatory tests, male or female Swiss mice (50 days old, 20-30 g, n=6 per group) were used. vincosamide was dissolved in saline solution (0.9% NaCl) and administered orally (p.o.) at doses of 3, 30, or 100 mg/kg, 1 hour before carrageenan induction. Positive control was dexamethasone (DEX, 1 mg/kg, p.o.). [1]
Paw edema: Carrageenan (300 μg/paw, 50 μL in sterile 0.9% saline) was injected into the paw. Edema was measured at 1, 2, and 4 h using a paw plethysmometer. [1]
Pleurisy: Carrageenan (300 μg, 0.1 mL in PBS, pH 7.4) was injected into the pleural cavity. After 4 h, exudate was collected and total leukocytes were counted using a Neubauer chamber after dilution in Turk solution (1:20). [1]
Mechanical hyperalgesia: An electronic von Frey test (analgesymeter) was used. Carrageenan (300 μg/paw) was injected intrapulnarly into the right hind paw, and saline into the left. Withdrawal thresholds were measured at 3 and 4 h post-carrageenan. [1]
Cold thermal stimulation (acetone test): Acetone (20 μL) was applied to the plantar surface of the right hind paw. Paw licking, shaking, or rubbing was recorded over 30 s at 3 and 4 h post-carrageenan. [1]
For AChE assay, mice were treated orally for 7 days with vincosamide (30 mg/kg), and on the last day, 1 h after the last dose, animals were decapitated. Brains were collected and dissected into cerebral cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and striatum. [1]
Acute toxicity study followed protocol 425. A single oral dose of vincosamide was not tested; the methanolic extract (ME-PL) was tested up to 2000 mg/kg. No deaths or clinical signs of toxicity were observed over 14 days. [1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Acute toxicity of the methanolic extract of P. leiocarpa (ME-PL) was evaluated, but vincosamide itself was not tested for toxicity. In the ME-PL acute toxicity study (doses up to 2000 mg/kg, oral), no clinical signs of toxicity or deaths were observed over 14 days. The LD50 could not be determined. [1]

Additional Infomation
Vincristine is a monoterpenoid indole alkaloid. It has been reported to exist in Uncaria rhynchophylla, Ceratophyllum demersum, and other organisms with relevant data.
vincosamide was isolated from Psychotria leiocarpa leaves collected in Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. This is the first report of vincosamide in this species. The compound was quantified by HPLC, yielding 138.9 ± 0.3 mg/g of the methanolic extract (retention time 24.10 min). The structure was confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The alkaloid may be responsible, at least in part, for the anti-inflammatory and anticholinesterase effects observed. The study supports the traditional use of Psychotria genus for inflammatory diseases. [1]
