Description

Hirsutine, an indole alkaloid of Uncaria rhynchophylla, exhibits anti-cancer activity. Hirsutine induces apoptosis and is a potent Dengue virus inhibitor exhibiting low cytotoxicity[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Hirsutine remarkably reduces the viability of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner with IC50 values of 447.79 and 179.06 μM, respectively. In the MDA-MB-231 cells, Hirsutine induces apoptosis and depolarization of MMP, releases Cyt C from mitochondria, and activates caspase 9 and caspase 3[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Hirsutine induces mPTP-dependent apoptosis through ROCK1/PTEN/PI3K/GSK3β pathway in human lung cancer cells[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
