Senkyunolide A is a phthalide, anti-tumor cell proliferation agent with anticancer activity. Senkyunolide A protects neurons from corticosterone (HY-B1618)-induced apoptosis by decreasing protein phosphatase PP2A and α-synuclein phosphorylation and protein level. Senkyunolide A also inhibits osteoarthritis through the NLRP3 signaling pathway and suppresses the expression of CD137, a diagnostic biomarker for atherosclerosis.

    Description

    Senkyunolide A is a phthalide, anti-tumor cell proliferation agent with anticancer activity. Senkyunolide A protects neurons from corticosterone (HY-B1618)-induced apoptosis by decreasing protein phosphatase PP2A and α-synuclein phosphorylation and protein level.

    In Vitro

    Senkyunolide A (0-2.5 μg/mL; 24 h) inhibits the proliferation of HT-29 and CCD-18Co cells with IC50 of 10.4 μM and 20.95 μM, respectively [1].
    Senkyunolide A (100 μM; 6 h) inhibits the high expression of CD137 in TNF-α treated MAECs cells[2].
    Senkyunolide A (0.125-0.5 μg/mL; 24-72 h) improves cell viability, decreases apoptosis, LDH release, α-syn expression and PP2P phosphorylation in PC12 cells treated with corticosterone (HY-B1618)[3].
    Senkyunolide A (20-80 μg/mL; 48 h) promotes cell proliferation and inhibits cell apoptosis in IL-1β-treated chondrocytes, and inhibits cell inflammation by blocking the NLRP3 signaling pathway[4].

    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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (13.00 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (13.00 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    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.
