1. Dihydroberberine

Dihydroberberine is a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid with anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic, hypolipidemic and anti-tumor activities. Dihydroberberine inhibits the human ether-related gene (hERG) channel and significantly reduces the expression of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and its interaction with hERG. Dihydroberberine also blocks the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines and immunoglobulins, and has inhibitory effects on DSS (HY-116282C)-induced experimental colitis. Dihydroberberine also increases the sensitivity of lung cancer to sunitinib (HY-10255A), with synergistic efficacy.

Description

Dihydroberberine is a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid with anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic, hypolipidemic and anti-tumor activities. Dihydroberberine inhibits the human ether-related gene (hERG) channel and significantly reduces the expression of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and its interaction with hERG. Dihydroberberine also blocks the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines and immunoglobulins, and has inhibitory effects on DSS (HY-116282C)-induced experimental colitis. Dihydroberberine also increases the sensitivity of lung cancer to sunitinib (HY-10255A), with synergistic efficacy[1][2].

In Vitro

Dihydroberberine has a synergistic effect with sunitinib, and when mixed together, it exhibits anti-cancer effects in human non-small cell lung cancer cell lines (NSCLC), A549, NCI-H460 and NCI-H1299 cells. Dihydroberberine (25 μM; 48 h) inhibits NCI-H460 cell proliferation and colony formation[2].
NCI-H460 cells were treated with a mixture (DCS) of Dihydroberberine (25 μM) and Sunitinib (2 μM) to arrest the cell cycle in the G1 phase. DCS regulates JNK/p38 MAPK signaling and plays a role in inducing apoptosis[2].

In Vivo

Dihydroberberine (250 mg/kg; intragastric gavage, once every other day for 14 days) effectively inhibits tumor growth and proliferation in the mouse NCI-H460 xenograft model and exhibits synergistic with Sunitini[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

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.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2 mg/mL (5.93 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

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.
