19-epi-Scholaricine is an orally active indole alkaloid. 19-epi-Scholaricine downregulates the expression of profibrotic/apoptotic proteins (HRAS, HSP90AA1, KDR) and upregulates the expression of cell cycle-related protein (CDK2). 19-epi-Scholaricine suppresses ROS production and reduces the release of inflammatory mediators, thereby attenuating podocyte apoptosis, renal inflammation and oxidative stress by inhibiting AKT/mTOR. 19-epi-Scholaricine can be used in the research of chronic glomerulonephritis and membranous nephropathy.

Description

19-epi-Scholaricine is an orally active indole alkaloid. 19-epi-Scholaricine downregulates the expression of profibrotic/apoptotic proteins (HRAS, HSP90AA1, KDR) and upregulates the expression of cell cycle-related protein (CDK2). 19-epi-Scholaricine suppresses ROS production and reduces the release of inflammatory mediators, thereby attenuating podocyte apoptosis, renal inflammation and oxidative stress by inhibiting AKT/mTOR. 19-epi-Scholaricine can be used in the research of chronic glomerulonephritis and membranous nephropathy[1][2].

In Vitro

19-epi-Scholaricine (10-50 μM; 24 h) protects ADR-stimulated MPC5 cells from injury, and significantly increases cell viability after 24 h of treatment at the concentration of 50 μM[1].
19-epi-Scholaricine (50 μM; 24 h) regulates the expression of CGN-related targets in ADR-induced MPC5 cells, downregulating HRAS, HSP90AA1 and KDR while upregulating CDK2[1].
19-epi-Scholaricine (50 μM; 24 h) significantly reduces the level of ROS production in ADR-stimulated MPC5 cells[1].
19-epi-Scholaricine (1-20 μM; 25 h) inhibits the release of NO in LPS (HY-D1056)-induced mouse podocyte MPC5 cells[2].
19-epi-Scholaricine (1 μM; 25 h) downregulates the gene expression of Tnf-α and Il-6 in LPS-induced mouse podocyte cell line MPC5[2].
19-epi-Scholaricine (1 μM; 25 h) upregulates the expression of circadian rhythm and AKT/mTOR pathway genes in LPS-stimulated mouse podocyte cell line MPC5[2].
19-epi-Scholaricine (1 μM; 24 h) reduces lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the mouse podocyte cell line MPC5[2].
19-epi-Scholaricine (1 μM; 24 h) restores the mitochondrial membrane potential of LPS-stimulated mouse podocytes MPC5[2].

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: adriamycin (ADR)-stimulated murine glomerular podocyte (MPC5) cells
Concentration: 10, 20, 40 and 50 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Increased the survival rate of ADR-stimulated MPC5 cells; the 50 μM concentration produced a statistically significant increase relative to the ADR-only model group.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: adriamycin (ADR)-stimulated murine glomerular podocyte (MPC5) cells
Concentration: 50 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Downregulated the protein expression of HRAS, HSP90AA1, and KDR, and upregulated the protein expression of CDK2 in ADR-stimulated MPC5 cells, reversing the expression changes induced by ADR.

Real Time qPCR[1]

Cell Line: adriamycin (ADR)-stimulated murine glomerular podocyte (MPC5) cells
Concentration: 50 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Downregulated the mRNA expression of hras, hsp90aa1, and kdr and upregulated the mRNA expression of cdk2 in ADR-stimulated MPC5 cells, reversing the expression changes induced by ADR.

Real Time qPCR[2]

Cell Line: MPC5 murine podocytes (LPS-stimulated)
Concentration: 1 μM
Incubation Time: 1 h pre-incubation, then 24 h LPS stimulation
Result: Significantly reduced the LPS-induced expression of Tnf-α and IL-6 genes in MPC5 cells, restoring levels to near normal.\nUpregulated the expression of Arntl, Cry1, Akt, mTor, and Bcl-2/Bax genes in LPS-stimulated MPC5 cells.
In Vivo

19-epi-Scholaricine (1 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 28 days) significantly alleviates adriamycin-induced chronic glomerulonephritis in male ICR mice by reducing urinary protein, normalizing serum renal function biomarkers, and improving kidney histopathology[1].
19-epi-scholaricine (1.0 mg/kg; oral gavage; daily; 6 weeks) exhibits superior or comparable therapeutic efficacy to prednisone at 2 mg/kg in a mouse model of membranous nephropathy, as evidenced by reduced urinary protein, restored renal function, suppressed inflammation and oxidative stress, improved histopathology, and modulation of the ARNTL/AKT/mTOR pathway[2].

Animal Model: ICR mice (male, 32-36 g, adriamycin-induced)[1]
Dosage: 1 mg/kg
Administration: p.o.; daily; 28 days

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.
