Barakol
Barakol is an anticancer and anxiolytic agent identified in Cassia siamea. Barakol inhibits MMP-3 activity and enhances the cytotoxicity and antimetastatic effects of Doxorubicin (HY-15142) against cancer cells. Barakol induces apoptosis via reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, upregulation of the Bax/Bcl-2 protein ratio, and activation of caspase-9. Barakol exerts anxiolytic activity with diazepam-like effects, increases spontaneous longitudinal smooth muscle contraction of rat ileum in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50 = 0.3 mM), and inhibits norepinephrine-induced contraction suppression. Barakol can be used in research related to anxiety, intestinal motility, and neuroblastoma.

Barakol (0.05-4 mM; 12-24 h) reduces the viability of P19 cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 1.5 mM, and impairs mitochondrial function[1].
Barakol (0.2-1.5 mM; 24 h) induces concentration-dependent apoptosis in P19 cells, leading to apoptosis in approximately 30% of cells, and this effect is attenuated by pretreatment with 1 mM NAC (HY-B0215)[1].
Barakol (0.4-1.5 mM; 9 h) reduces Bcl-2 protein expression in a concentration-dependent manner, upregulates the Bax/Bcl2 ratio in P19 cells, and this effect is reversed by pretreatment with NAC[1].
Barakol (0.2-1.5 mM; 24 h) activates caspase-9 in P19 cells in a concentration-dependent manner in vitro with a treatment duration of 24 h[1].
Barakol (0.4 mM; 15-360 min) induces rapid and transient intracellular ROS production in P19 cells, with ROS levels peaking at 2 h; hydroxyl radicals represent the main ROS driving this reaction, and this effect is completely blocked by pretreatment with 1 mM NAC[1].
Barakol (0.0043-43.0 μM; 8 h pretreatment; 24 h incubation with or without Doxorubicin) enhances the cytotoxic effect of low-dose Doxorubicin (HY-15142A) on human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, while it itself exhibits only extremely low cytotoxicity at doses up to 4.3 μM; it also significantly reduces intracellular ROS levels in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, with a more pronounced effect at higher Doxorubicin doses[2].
Barakol (0.043-43.0 μM; 24 h) inhibits MMP-3 activity in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells at the concentration of 43.0 μM after 24 h of incubation[2].
Barakol (0.043-43.0 μM; 12-36 h) inhibits the migration of human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner[2].
Barakol (0.043-43.0 μM; 10-60 min) inhibits the activity of MMP-3 in a time- and dose-dependent manner[2].
Barakol (48 h) exhibits extremely low cytotoxicity against MRC-5 normal embryonic lung cells, with an IC50 of 2.3449 μM[2].

Result:Induced concentration-dependent apoptotic morphological changes (condensed chromatin, apoptotic bodies) in P19 cells.
Induced apoptosis in approximately 30% of cells at 1.5 mM for 24 h.
Significantly inhibited apoptosis induced by 1.5 mM when pretreated with 1 mM NAC.

-
Result:Caused a concentration-dependent reduction in Bcl-2 protein expression, while Bax protein expression remained unchanged compared to controls, resulting in a significant increase in the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio.

Barakol (10 mg/kg; i.p.; single administration) produces an anxiolytic effect profile similar to that of the benzodiazepine anxiolytic Diazepam in the elevated plus maze test, but also increases exploratory behavior and spontaneous activity, and this effect is partially inhibited by co-administration of the anxiolytic Diazepam[3].

-
Administration:i.p.; single dose
-
Result:Significantly increased all measured parameters (percentage of open:total number of arm entries and time, time spent on the end of the open arms, total arm entries, and rears per minute) compared to control, unlike benzodiazepine anxiolytic agent which did not increase total arm entries or rears.
Produced a behavioural profile matching barakol alone for most parameters when benzodiazepine anxiolytic agent was administered 30 minutes before barakol, except for a marked reduction in the number of rears compared to barakol alone, and a significant increase in total arm entries compared to benzodiazepine anxiolytic agent alone.
