Tetrahydroalstonine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
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.

Biological Activity
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].

-
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.

-
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.
