  3. Prucalopride

Prucalopride is an orally active, selective and specific 5-HT 4 receptor agonist (high affinity), with pKis of 8.6 and 8.1 for human 5-HT4a/4b receptors, respectively. Prucalopride improves intestinal motility by promoting regeneration of the intestinal nervous system in rats. Prucalopride also shows anticancer activity by blocking of the PI3K/AKT/mTor signaling pathway. Prucalopride can be used in studies of chronic constipation, pseudo-intestinal obstruction and cancer.

Prucalopride improves intestinal motility by promoting regeneration of the intestinal nervous system in rats. Prucalopride also shows anticancer activity by blocking of the PI3K/AKT/mTor signaling pathway.

In Vitro

Prucalopride (10 µM; 24, 48, 72 h) shows anti proliferative activity in A549 cells[1].
Prucalopride induces autophagy and apoptosis, decreases the expression of the phosphorylated protein kinase B (AKT) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTor) in A549/A427 cells[1].

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

Cell Proliferation Assay[1]

Cell Line: A549 cells
Concentration: 10 µM
Incubation Time: 24, 48, 72 h
Result: Repressed lung cancer cells proliferation.
In Vivo

Prucalopride (5, 10 µg/kg; p.o.; single daily for 2 weeks) shortens the colonic transit time in DM model, promotes the regeneration of colonic neural stem cells and neurons[2].
Prucalopride (5, 10 µg/kg; p.o.; single daily for 2 weeks) promotes the differentiation of colonic neural stem cells, activates the expression of glial proteins and promotes the recovery of neuronal injury to a certain extent[2].

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

Animal Model: Sprague dawley rats (diabetes mellitus (DM) model)[2].
Dosage: 5 or 10 µg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage; single daily for 2 weeks.
Result: Accelerated colonic movement and shortened the colonic transit time, and markedly increased the expression levels of Ki67.
Increased expression of SOX10 in the columnar epithelial nuclei and enteraden (when at 5 µg/kg), and in the columnar epithelial cells, the nuclei of lamina propria cells and enteraden (when at 10 µg/kg).
Significantly increased Nestin expression, which concentrated in columnar epithelial cells and the mesenchyme. (Nestin:a marker of enteric neural stem cells in the ENS).

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.
