Ricinine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Ricinine is a central nervous system stimulant found in Ricinus communis. Ricinine binds near the benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptor, reducing benzodiazepine binding affinity through an allosteric effect, and shows no interaction with AMPA, 5-HT1A, muscarinic receptors, or α1 adrenergic receptors. Ricinine improves memory consolidation in mice at low doses, while at high doses it induces seizures, an effect that is selectively inhibited by diazepam. Ricinine shortens the lifespan of Anopheles mosquitoes through sugar feeding and promotes the development of Plasmodium falciparum in mosquitoes. Ricinine is used in research related to epilepsy, amnesia, and malaria.

Beschreibung
In Vitro
Ricinine (30-100 μM; 60 min) selectively decreases the binding of [3H]-flunitrazepam to central benzodiazepine receptors in rat cerebral cortical membranes in a concentration-dependent manner, without affecting its binding to GABAA, AMPA, 5-HT1A, ω1-benzodiazepine, muscarinic, or α1-adrenergic receptors[1].
Ricinine (2-4 mM) increases state IV respiration in isolated rat liver mitochondria and decreases the respiratory control ratio at high concentrations[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. .
In Vivo
Ricinine (10-40 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; single dose; administered 30 min after intraperitoneal pretreatment) induces clonic seizures in mice with a control ED50 of 27.5 mg/kg, which is selectively inhibited by Diazepam but not by Phenobarbital, Phenytoin (HY-B0448), or Ethosuximide (HY-B1378)[1].
Ricinine (10-40 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; single dose) produces dose-dependent central nervous system excitation in mice, including exophthalmos, mydriasis, enhanced sensorimotor reactivity, and clonic seizures, with an LD50 of 25 mg/kg[2].
Ricinine (0.1-25 mg/kg; i.p./s.c.; single dose) does not produce anxiogenic, neuroleptic-like, or locomotor-altering effects in mice at high doses[2].
Ricinine (0.08-0.15 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; administered immediately after training; single dose) improves memory consolidation in the passive avoidance task in mice, exhibiting an inverted U-shaped dose-response relationship[2].
Ricinine (0.04-0.08 g/l; oral; continuous administration before and after infection; feeding pads replaced daily until death) accelerates parasite development in both P. falciparum-infected An. coluzzii and An. gambiae, and shortens the median survival time of mosquitoes by 3.5 days, with no effect on the overall infection rate of An. coluzzii, but increases the infection rate of An. gambiae by 14%[3].

Animal Model:Swiss mice (adult male; 2.5 months; 20-30 g)[1]
-
Dosage:10, 20, 30, 40 mg/kg
-
Administration:s.c.; single dose
-
Result:Showed no behavioral or electroencephalographic signs of seizure at 10 mg/kg.
Exhibited characteristic seizures with consistent behavioral and electrographic patterns and similar mean onset latencies across doses of 20-40 mg/kg.
Increased the percentage of animals presenting seizures in a dose-dependent manner.
Produced fast low-voltage isolated spikes in the cerebral cortex 4 min after administration, with cortical spikes accompanied by synchronous low-voltage hippocampal activity of longer duration by 7 min.
Induced widened cortical bursts and increased amplitude of hippocampal activity at 13 min, with bursts lasting 2-6 s occurring at 0.1-0.3 Hz.
Progressed to fully developed ictal activity lasting 18 s, intercalated with 1-2 s silent periods, between 16-17 min.
Caused behavioral seizure progression from exophthalmus and reduced locomotion to generalized tremors, respiratory distress, myoclonic jerks, and ultimately generalized tonic-clonic seizure with respiratory failure and death.

Animal Model:Swiss mice (adult male; 2.5 months; 20-30 g)[1]
-
Dosage:10, 20, 30, 40 mg/kg
-
Administration:s.c.; single dose; administered 30 min after i.p. pretreatment
-
Result:Had an ED50 of 27.5 mg/kg for clonic seizures in saline-pretreated control mice.
Had ED50 values of 29.5 mg/kg for tremors, 29.5 mg/kg for jumpings, 33.8 mg/kg for apnea, 13.4 mg/kg for exophthalmus, and 28.8 mg/kg for reduced locomotor activity in saline-pretreated control mice.
Showed increased ED50 values for clonic seizures, tremors, jumping, apnea, exophthalmus, and reduced locomotor activity with diazepam pretreatment.
Induced clonic seizures that were not protected against by phenobarbital, phenytoin, or ethosuximide pretreatment, with some of these agents exacerbating certain preconvulsive behavioral signs.
Induced seizures at 30 mg/kg that were not protected against by 60 mg/kg phenobarbital pretreatment.
