Description

Gentiopicroside, a naturally occurring iridoid glycoside, inhibits P450 activity, with an IC50 and a Ki of 61 µM and 22.8 µM for CYP2A6; Gentiopicroside has anti-inflammatoryand antioxidative effects.

IC50 & Target

CYP2

 

In Vitro

Gentiopicroside inhibits P450 activity, with an IC50 and a Ki of 61 µM and 8.12 µM for CYP2A6, also slightly inhibits CYP2E1 activity with an IC50 of 1.6 mM, but shows no inhibition on CYP1A2 and CYP3A4[1]. Gentiopicroside (12.5, 25 and 50 μM) inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclast formation from mouse bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) in a dose-dependent manner, blocks the expression of osteoclast-related proteins, prevents receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-triggered JNK and NF-κB activation. Gentiopicroside (50 μM) also inhibits RANKL-induced bone resorption[3].

In Vivo

Gentiopicroside (20, 40, and 80 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly reduces gastric ulcerindex in mice. Gentiopicroside (20, 40, and 80 mg/kg) also ovbiously decreases the levels of HSP-70, TNF-α, IL-6, MDA and increases ncreased GSH level and SOD activity. In addition, Gentiopicroside normalizes EGF and VEGF level in 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 (5.84 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 (5.84 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.

Cell Assay
[3]

Cell viability is evaluated using the CCK-8 assay. In brief, bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) (1 × 104 cells/well) are placed in a 96-well plate and cultured with various concentrations of Gentiopicroside (12.5, 25 and 50  μM) for 48  h in the presence of M-CSF (30  ng/mL) and RANKL (100  ng/mL). Then, 10  μL of the CCK-8 solution is added to each well and the mixture is incubated for 4  h at 37 °C. The absorbance is evaluated at 450  nm using a microplate reader[3].

Animal Administration
[2]

Mice[2]
Mice are ran-domLy divided into six groups with 10 animals each. Drug is given by intragastric administration once a day for three consecutive days. Mice in the normal control group and the ethanol control group (negative control) receive saline at a dose of 2.5 mL/kg; Mice in the cimetidine control group (positive control) receive cimetidine at a dose of 100 mg/kg; mice in three Gentiopicroside investigative groups receive different doses of Gentiopicroside (20, 40, and 80 mg/kg), respectively; On the third day, except that mice in the normal control group receive saline, mice in other groups receive 70% ethanol at a dose of 0.01 mL/g by oral1 hr after the last intragastric administration. One hour after the induction, animals are euthanized under anesthesia by cervical dislocation, removed and cut the stomach longitudinally. The stomach are opened along the greater curvature and rinsed slightly with ice-cold saline to remove the gastric contents, and then the severity of gastric mucosal injury is evaluated by gastric ulcer index. Subsequently, each animal'sstomach is cut into two moieties, with one moiety of stomach stored at −80°C for biochemical assessment and the other moiety immersed in 4% paraformaldehyde solution for histopathological examinations[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.
