N-nornuciferine potently inhibits CYP2D6 in pooled human liver microsomes via competitive inhibition (IC50 = 3.76 μM, Ki = 2.34 μM), while it only exerts weak inhibitory effects on CYP2C19 (IC50 = 29 μM)[1].
N-Nornuciferine (Compound 5) is a BChE inhibitor with an IC50 of 5.6 μM in mice[3].

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.89 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.89 mM); Clear solution

Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
For the determination of the inhibition constant Ki values, various final concentrations of the specific substrate dextromethorphan for CYP2D6 in the range of 1 to 10 mM and different concentrations of the N-Nornuciferine in the range of 0 to 25 mM are used. After preincubation for 10 min, the reactions are initiated by the addition of NADPH. Each incubation test is performed in triplicate. Thirty minutes after the incubation is initiated, the reaction is stopped by the addition of 100 mL of ice-cold acetonitrile containing 1 mg/mL propranolol (IS). The incubation mixtures are then centrifuged at 15,000g for 10 min at 4 °C. Ten-microliter aliquots of the supernatants are injected into an LC-MS/MS system[1].
