    Description

    Sinomenine, an alkaloid extracted from Sinomenium acutum, is a blocker of the NF-κB activation[1]. Sinomenine also is an activator of μ-opioid receptor[2].

    IC50 & Target

    NF-κB[1], μ-opioid receptor[2]

    In Vitro

    Cell viability gradually decreased with increasing Sinomenine concentration. The migration ability of MDA-MB-231 cells is significantly weakened by 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mM of Sinomenine treatment. The wound-healing assay reveals that 0.25 and 0.5 mM Sinomenine significantly suppress the healing of the wound. When the MDA-MB-231 cells are treated with 0.5 mM Sinomenine, the healing progress is about 50%, but in the group treated with 0.25 mM Sinomenine and the untreated control, the healing is about 80% and nearly 95%, respectively. The IB assay following inhibitor of NF-κB (IκB) antibody IP shows that the binding of NF-κB to IκB is inhibited by Sinomenine treatment in a dose-dependent manne[1].

    In Vivo

    Sinomenine (i.p.) produces antinociception in the hot plate and tail flick tests in male rats at 40 mg/kg, but not at lower doses (10 or 20 mg/kg). At 10 to 40 mg/kg Sinomenine does not produce any observable side effect such as sedation, allergy or motor impairments. Antinociception is also seen mice at 60 min following 80 mg/kg i.p. Sinomenine, but not at lower doses (20 or 40 mg/kg), in the tail flick test. Sinomenine at 80 mg/kg i.p. does not produce any observable side effects in mice. I.p or p.o. Sinomenine at 40 or 80 mg/kg dose-dependently reduces mechanical hypersensitivity in nerve injured mice. I.p. Sinomenine at 40 mg/kg, but not lower doses or vehicle, significantly decreases mechanical and cold allodynia for up to 240 min without producing motor deficits or sedation[3]. At doses of 10 to 40 mg/kg, Sinomenine dose-dependently increases the paw withdrawal threshold. In non-chronic constriction injury (CCI) healthy rats, Sinomenine at the dose range of 10 to 40 mg/kg does not change the immobility behavior in the forced swimming test[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 (7.59 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 (7.59 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.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    The MDA-MB-231 human triple negative and 4T1 mouse breast cancer cell lines are used in this study. For the experiments, the cells are grown in 24-well plates at 3.5×104/well. Following incubation for 24 or 48 h in medium containing different concentrations of Sinomenine, proliferation of the cells are detected with Cell Counting Kit-8 solution according to the manufacturer's instructions[1].

    Animal Administration
    [4]

    Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing of 250 to 300 g are used in this experiment. For the duration of action of acute Sinomenine study, different doses of Sinomenine (10 to 40 mg/kg) are administered 1 day after surgery and then paw withdrawal threshold is measured every 30 min for 4 hours. For the study involving daily Sinomenine treatment, mechanical hyperalgesia measure is performed 3 h after daily drug treatment. For antagonist studies, antagonists were given 10 min prior to 40 mg/kg Sinomenine administration[3].

    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.
