Tetrahydroalstonine  (Synonyms: (-)-Tetrahydroalstonine)

Cat. No.: HY-N1163 Purity: 99.95%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Tetrahydroalstonine ((-)-Tetrahydroalstonine) is an indole alkaloid and a selective α₂-adrenergic receptor antagonist. Tetrahydroalstonine exhibits certain neuroprotective effects. Tetrahydroalstonine can regulate autophagy-lysosomal function by activating the Akt/mTOR pathway, significantly reducing OGD/R-induced primary cortical neuronal injury.

Description

Tetrahydroalstonine ((-)-Tetrahydroalstonine) is an indole alkaloid and a selective α₂-adrenergic receptor antagonist. Tetrahydroalstonine exhibits certain neuroprotective effects. Tetrahydroalstonine can regulate autophagy-lysosomal function by activating the Akt/mTOR pathway, significantly reducing OGD/R-induced primary cortical neuronal injury[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Tetrahydroalstonine (0.75-3 µM; 3-26 h) improves cell viability and ameliorates abnormal expression of autophagic and lysosomal markers (LC3B-II/I, LAMP1, CSTB, TFEB) in primary cortical neurons treated with oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R). The mechanism involves activation of the Akt/mTOR pathway[1].

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

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: OGD/R treated cortical neurons
Concentration: 0.75, 1.5 and 3 µM
Incubation Time: Pretreated with 2 h, then co-incubation for 24 h
Result: Increased the cell viability of cortical neurons.
In Vivo

Tetrahydroalstonine (0.5-4 mg/kg; intravenous injection; single dose) in pithed rats shows that low doses (0.5-2 mg/kg) enhance the pressor response induced by electrical stimulation of sympathetic nerves, while high dose (4 mg/kg) inhibits the response[2].

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

Animal Model: Male Wistar rats were pithed and artificially ventilated with vagus nerve sectioning
Dosage: 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg/kg
Administration: Intravenous injection (i.v.); single dose
Result: Significantly potentiated the pressor response to electrical stimulation of sympathetic outflow (shown as negative inhibition) at low doses (0.5-2 mg/kg), while 4 mg/kg significantly reduced this response (PN50: 2.8 mg/kg). The potentiation at low doses suggested blockade of presynaptic α₂-adrenoceptors, leading to increased noradrenaline release.

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.
