    Description

    Berberine sulfate is an alkaloid isolated from the Chinese herbal medicine Huanglian, as an antibiotic. Berberine sulfate induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and inhibits DNA topoisomerase. Berberine sulfate has antineoplastic properties. The sulfate form improves bioavailability[1][2].

    ROS[1]
    DNA topoisomerase[1]

    In Vitro

    Berberine sulfate (1.25-160 μM; 72 hours) has potential inhibitory effects on the proliferation of four colorectal carcinoma cell lines LoVo, HCT116, SW480, and HT-29[1].
    ? Berberine sulfate (1.25-160 μM; 24-72 hours) induces a time- and dose-dependent inhibition of LoVo cell growth[1].
    ? LoVo cells are exposure to Berberine sulfate (10-80 μM) for 24 h. Cell cycle analysis of 40 μM Berberine-treated LoVo cells by flow cytometry shows accumulation of cells in the G2/M phase[1].
    ? Berberine sulfate (10-80 μM) suppresses cyclin B1, cdc2 and cdc25c protein expression after 24 h, especially at the dose of 80.0 μM[1].

    Concentration: 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 μM
    Incubation Time: 72 hours
    Result: Inhibited the proliferation of four cell lines. The IC50 ranged from 40.8±4.1 μM (LoVo) to 98.6±2.9 μM (HCT116).

    Cell Proliferation Assay[1]

    Cell Line: Colorectal carcinoma cell lines LoVo
    Concentration: 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 μM
    Incubation Time: 24, 48, 72 hours

    Cell Cycle Analysis[1]

    Cell Line: LoVo cells
    Concentration: 0, 10, 20, 40, or 80 μM
    Incubation Time: 24 hours
    Result: Exposure to 40.0 μM induced G2/M-phase cell cycle arrest, an increase in the G2/M-phase population and a progressive decline in the G1 population.

    Western Blot Analysis[1]

    Cell Line: LoVo cells
    Concentration: 10, 20, 40, or 80 μM
    Incubation Time: 24 hours
    Result: Suppressed cyclin B1, cdc2 and cdc25c protein expression.
    In Vivo

    Berberine sulfate (10, 30, or 50 mg/kg/day; gastrointestinal gavage; for 10 consecutive days) inhibits the growth of human colorectal adenocarcinoma in vivo. Berberine at doses of 30 and 50 mg/kg/day taken by gastrointestinal gavage shows inhibitory rates of 33.1% and 45.3% on the human colorectal adenocarcinoma xenograft growth in nude mice[1].

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

    Animal Model: 5-week-old BALB/c nu/nu mice with human colorectal adenocarcinoma LoVo xenografts[1]
    Dosage: 10, 30, or 50 mg/kg/day
    Administration: Gastrointestinal gavage; for 10 consecutive days

    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.
