Arecaidine hydrobromide
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Arecaidine hydrobromide is a GABA transport system inhibitor. Arecaidine hydrobromide inhibits the proliferation of oral mucosal fibroblasts, increases the secretion of IL-6, TGF-β and TNF-α in cells, downregulates the expression of PPAR-γ and PCK1 in cells, and upregulates the expression of TGF-β1. Arecaidine hydrobromide inhibits the uptake of γ-aminobutyric acid and β-alanine by the central nervous system of cats. Arecaidine hydrobromide inhibits hPAT1-mediated L-[3H]proline uptake in cells. Arecaidine hydrobromide can be used in research related to neurological diseases.

Biological Activity
Arecaidine hydrobromide exhibits strong binding affinity for PPAR-γ, PCK1 and TGF-β1 proteins, with binding energies of -5.1 kJ/mol, -5.6 kJ/mol and -5.6 kJ/mol[1].
Arecaidine (0-120 μg/mL; 24-48 h) hydrobromide inhibits the proliferation of human oral mucosal fibroblasts (hOMF) and increases the secretion of IL-6, TGF-β and TNF-α in cells[1].
Arecaidine (100-120 μg/mL; 48 h) hydrobromide downregulates the mRNA and protein expression of PPAR-γ and PCK1, while upregulates the mRNA and protein expression of TGF-β1, in human oral mucosal fibroblasts (hOMF)[1].
Arecaidine (10 min) hydrobromide inhibits the uptake of GABA and β-alanine, but not that of glycine, in cat spinal cord slices, with an IC50 of 89 μM for GABA and 193 μM for β-alanine[2].
Arecaidine (10 min) hydrobromide inhibits the uptake of GABA and β-alanine in cat cerebellar slices, with an IC50 value of 76 μM for GABA and 354 μM for β-alanine[2].
Arecaidine (10 min) hydrobromide inhibits the uptake of GABA and β-alanine in rat cerebral cortex slices, with an IC50 value of 122 μM for GABA and 208 μM for β-alanine[2].
Arecaidine (0.1-100 mM; 10 min) hydrobromide competitively inhibits hPAT1-mediated uptake of L-[3H]proline in Caco-2 cells, with a Ki value of 7.3 mM[3].
Arecaidine (0.1-100 mM; 10 min) hydrobromide inhibits hPAT1-mediated L-[3H]proline uptake in transiently transfected HeLa cells, with a Ki value of 3.8 mM[3].
