Description

Oridonin (NSC-250682), a diterpenoid isolated from Rabdosia rubescens, acts as an inhibitor of AKT, with IC50s of 8.4 and 8.9 μM for AKT1 and AKT2; Oridonin possesses anti-tumor, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

IC50 & Target[1]

Akt1

8.4 μM (IC50)

Akt2

8.9 μM (IC50)

In Vitro

Oridonin is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of AKT with IC50s of 8.4 and 8.9 μM for AKT1 and AKT2, respectively. Oridonin (5, 10 or 20 μM) obviously inhibits the growth of KYSE70, KYSE410 and KYSE450 ESCC cells via targeting AKT1/2. Oridonin (10 or 20 μM) causes G2/M phase cell cycle arrest in KYSE70, KYSE410 and KYSE450 cells, and induces apoptosis in these three cell lines at 20 μM. In addition, Oridonin (5, 10 or 20 μM) in combination with cisplatin or 5-FU enhances the inhibition of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cell growth[1]. Oridonin (0.1 and 1 μM) preferentially suppresses AKT/mTOR signaling. Oridonin (1 μM) also selectively suppresses growth of breast cancer cells with hyperactivation of AKT signaling[2].

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

In Vivo

Oridonin (160 mg/kg, p.o.) shows significant reduction in the tumor growth without obvious weigh loss in SCID mice bearing EG9 and HEG18 tumor cells. Oridonin treatment also suppresses the expression of Ki-67, phosphorylated AKT, GSK-3β or mTOR in mice[1]. Oridonin (15 mg/kg, i.p.) impairs cell growth in breast cancer with hyperactivation of AKT signaling in nude mice[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.71 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.71 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone    90% PEG300

    Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (13.72 mM); Clear solution

Kinase Assay
[1]

For the AKT kinase assay, the ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay Kit is used. Active AKT1 or AKT2 kinase and inactive GSK-3β as substrate are mixed by 1× reaction buffer and then added to a white 96-well plate. Pure ATP provided in the kit is serially diluted obtain a final concentration of 0, 1, 10, 50, and 100 μM. GSK-3β is added to reach a final concentration of 2.5, 5, 10 or 20 μM and DMSO is used as a control. The mixed solution is incubated at room temperature and luciferase activity is measured using the Luminoskan Ascent plate reader[1].

Cell Assay
[1]

Cells are seeded (6×103 cells/well for KYSE70; 2.5×103 cells/well for KYSE410; 2×103 cells/well for KYSE450) in 96-well plates and incubated for 24 h and then treated with different amounts of Oridonin or vehicle. After incubation for 24, 48 or 72 h, cell proliferation is measured by the MTT assay. For anchorage-independent cell growth assessment, cells (2.5, 5 or 10 μM Oridonin) suspended in complete medium are added to 0.3% agar with vehicle, 2.5, 5 or 10 μM Oridonin in a top layer over a base layer of 0.5% agar with vehicle, 2.5, 5 or 10 μM Oridonin. The cultures are maintained at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 3 weeks and then colonies are visualized under a microscope and counted using the Image-Pro Plus software program[1].

Animal Administration
[2]

Mice[2]
Breast cancer cells are harvested and resuspended in 40% Matrigel-Basement Membrane Matrix, LDEV-free, and then injected (100 μL per site) into the fourth pair of mammary fat pads of nude mice (CrTac: NCr-Foxn1nu). Tumors are measured in two dimensions using manual calipers. Tumor volume is calculated using the formula: Volume = 0.5 × length × width × width. Tumor volume is measured every 2-3 days. Upon harvesting, tumors are fixed in formalin overnight and then in 70% ethanol for histopathology analysis. Mice are treated with Oridonin (15 mg/kg) in 1% Pluronic F68 or vehicle (1% Pluronic F68) daily by intraperitoneal (IP) injection. BEZ235 is reconstituted 1:9 in 1-methyl-2 pyrolidone and polyethylene glycol 300 (PEG300) Mice are treated with this compound formulation at 45 mg/kg daily (QD) by oral gavage[2].

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.
