Bacopaside I is an orally active aquaporin AQP1 inhibitor and PKC modulator with neuroprotective and anticancer activities. Bacopaside I specifically blocks the water channel and cGMP-gated ion channel activities of AQP1 without affecting AQP4, thereby inhibiting the migration of colon cancer cells expressing AQP1. Bacopaside I activates the Akt pathway by interacting with PI3K, specifically inhibits MAO-A, effectively alleviates neuron necrosis and apoptosis induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation, reduces oxidative stress, and regulates the surface expression of neuroreceptors. When combined with Bacopaside II (HY-N6016), Bacopaside I significantly reduces the viability, proliferation and invasion ability of breast cancer cells, and binds to the pregnane X receptor (PXR). Bacopaside I is applicable to the research of colon cancer, breast cancer, vascular dementia, cerebral ischemia and other related diseases.

IC50 & Target

MAO-A

 

In Vitro

Bacopaside I (117-178 μM; 50 mins-2 h) potently and selectively inhibits AQP1-mediated osmotic water permeability in Xenopus laevis oocytes with an IC50 of 117 μM; Bacopaside I shows no activity against AQP4[1].
Bacopaside I (50-100 μM; 2 h) inhibits cGMP-dependent ion conductance of AQP1 in Xenopus laevis oocytes, and the blocking effect at 100 μM is stronger than that at 50 μM after 2 h of incubation[1].
Bacopaside I (48-50 μM; 24 h) inhibits the migration of HT29 colon cancer cells with high AQP1 expression, with an IC50 of 48 μM, and impairs the directional motility of the cells[1].
Bacopaside I (50-75 μM; 24 h) shows no cytotoxicity against HT29 colon cancer cells at concentrations up to 75 μM after 24 h of incubation[1].
Treatment with Bacopaside I (5-10 μM; 3-4 d) for 3 days reduces the proliferative activity of MDA-MB-231, T47D, MCF7 and BT-474 breast cancer cell lines; treatment for 4 days decreases the migratory capacity of breast cancer cell lines[2].
Combination treatment with Bacopaside I (5-10 μM; 24 h) and Bacopaside II reduces the transcript expression of AQP1 in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, with an IC50 of 13 μM for inhibiting its activity[2].
Bacopaside I (administered at 5-25 μM for a total of 60 min, with treatment initiated before and maintained during 45 min of OGD) potently protects organotypic hippocampal slice cultures against OGD-induced neuronal injury by inhibiting apoptosis and necrosis, and the protective activity at 25 μM is superior to that at 5 μM[3].
Bacopaside I (administered at 25 μM before and during 45 minutes of OGD treatment, with a total intervention duration of 60 min) exerts neuroprotective effects against OGD-induced injury in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures. This effect depends on the PKC and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways, but is independent of the ERK signaling pathway or cholinergic receptor activation[3].

In Vivo

Bacopaside I (50 mg/kg; oral; daily; 7 days) causes no adverse effects in Swiss-albino mice[2].
Bacopaside I (oral route) exerts neuroprotective effects in rats with cerebral ischemia-induced injury by reducing neurological deficits, infarct volume, and edema, and by normalizing brain ATP, antioxidant enzyme, ATPase, and MDA levels[4].
Bacopaside I exhibits antidepressant-like activity in CUMS-exposed mice by reversing hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis hyperactivity[4].

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.

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.
