Description

Vasicinone is a quinazoline alkaloid isolated from the Adhatoda vasica. Vasicinone is a potential agent for Parkinson's disease and possibly other oxidative stress-related neurodegenerative disorders[1].

In Vitro

Vasicinone (1~30 µM; 24 hours; SH-SY5Y cells) significantly reverses the paraquat-induced reduction in cell viability[1].
Vasicinone (10 and 15 μM; 24 hours; SH-SY5Y cells) abates the paraquat-induced injury of SH-SY5Y cells by suppressing the MAPK signaling pathway, dose-dependently reduces the percentage of apoptotic cells and is capable of rescuing paraquat-induced apoptotic death[1].
Vasicinone (10 and 15 μM; SH-SY5Y cells) attenuates the paraquat-induced accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and attenuates the paraquat-induced expression of apoptotic proteins[1].

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

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.
