Description

Swainsonine (Tridolgosir) is an natural indolizidine alkaloid, a potent and reversible α-mannosidase inhibitor. Swainsonine induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase. Swainsonine shows anti-tumor activity[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Swainsonine (0-40 μM; 12 h) shows antiproliferative activity in U251 and LN444 cells[2].
Swainsonine (30 μM; 12 h) induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase, and decreases the expression of CyclinD1 and CDK4 protein levels, increases the expression of p16 protein level[2].
Swainsonine (30 μM; 12 h) reduces glioma cell migration and invasion[2].

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

Cell Viability Assay[2]

Cell Line: U251, LN444 cells
Concentration: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 µM
Incubation Time: 12 h
Result: Inhibited cell viability in a dose-dependent manner, and shows no cytotoxicity in normal brain cells.

Cell Cycle Analysis[2]

Cell Line: U251 cells
Concentration: 30 µM
Incubation Time: 12 h
Result: Induced cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase.

Apoptosis Analysis[2]

Cell Line: U251 cells
Concentration: 30 µM
Incubation Time: 12 h
Result: Induced apoptosis with the cleaved-Caspase-3 and cleaved-Caspase-9 expression were obviously increased.
In Vivo

Swainsonine (1 mg/kg; i.p.; twice daily for ten days) and cisplatin increases the anti-tumor efficacy in mouse[3].

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

Animal Model: Eighty-seven sixty-day-old male C57BL/6 mice[3]
Dosage: 1 mg/kg (cisplatin; 0.25 mg/kg, i.p., every other day for 10 days)
Administration: I.p.; twice daily for ten days
Result: Showed a significant reduction in ascites volume of 63.5% was observed in mice and a significant reduction in the percentage of cells in the G0/G1, S and G2 phases.

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.
