Tovophyllin A protects mouse models of liver injury by activating Nrf2. Tovophyllin A exhibits protective anti-inflammatory activity in mouse models of acute lung injury. Tovophyllin A inhibits the activation of NF-κB and subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Tovophyllin A reduces apoptotic cell death (Apoptosis). Tovophyllin A has antiplasmodial activity. Tovophyllin A shows cytotoxic activity against lung epithelial cancer cells and breast cancer cells. Tovophyllin A can be used in research related to Parkinson's disease, liver injury, acute lung injury, lung epithelial cancer, and breast cancer.

Description

Tovophyllin A is an orally active xanthonoid compound. Tovophyllin A exerts neuroprotective effects against Parkinson's disease by activating the Akt/GSK3β signaling pathway. Tovophyllin A protects mouse models of liver injury by activating Nrf2. Tovophyllin A exhibits protective anti-inflammatory activity in mouse models of acute lung injury. Tovophyllin A inhibits the activation of NF-κB and subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Tovophyllin A reduces apoptotic cell death (Apoptosis). Tovophyllin A has antiplasmodial activity. Tovophyllin A shows cytotoxic activity against lung epithelial cancer cells and breast cancer cells. Tovophyllin A can be used in research related to Parkinson's disease, liver injury, acute lung injury, lung epithelial cancer, and breast cancer[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Tovophyllin A (0.01-20 μM; 24 h) protects primary cortical neurons against MPP+- and paraquat (PQ)-induced neurotoxicity. After 24 h of co-treatment, it significantly increases cell viability in the MPP+ model at concentrations ≥0.1 μM and in the PQ model at concentrations ≥1 μM[1].
Tovophyllin A (serial twofold dilutions starting at 200 μM; 48 h) inhibits the proliferation of A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells and MCF7 breast cancer cells, with IC50 values of 2.2 μM and 6.1 μM, respectively[3].

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[3]

Cell Line: A549 (epithelial lung carcinoma), MCF7 (breast carcinoma)
Concentration: Serial twofold dilutions starting at 200 μM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Exhibited cytotoxic activity against A549 cells with an IC50 of 2.2 μM.
Exhibited cytotoxic activity against MCF7 cells with an IC50 of 6.1 μM.
In Vivo

Tovophyllin A (5 mg/kg; single pre-treatment dose) alleviates MPTP (HY-W114750)-induced Parkinson's disease in male C57BL/6 mice by restoring motor function, preserving dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), and activating the Akt/GSK3β pro-survival signaling pathway[1].
Tovophyllin A (50-100 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; 5 days) dose-dependently protects male BALB/c mice against Acetaminophen (HY-66005)-induced acute liver injury. At the dose of 100 mg/kg, it almost completely reverses hepatic necrosis, oxidative stress and the elevation of inflammatory mediators, and potently activates the Nrf2 cytoprotective pathway[2].
Tovophyllin A (50-100 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 5 days prior to LPS challenge) improves LPS (HY-D1056)-induced acute lung injury in male BALB/c mice in a dose-dependent manner[3].

Animal Model: C57BL/6 (male, 8-10 weeks old, 25-28 g, MPTP-induced Parkinson's disease)[1]
Dosage: 5 mg/kg
Administration: single pre-treatment dose
Result: Increased total distance traveled in the open field test to levels comparable to control mice.
Increased latency to fall in the rotarod test to levels comparable to control mice.
Alleviated MPTP-induced reductions in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) protein levels in the midbrain, and striatum.
Increased the number of TH-positive dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc).

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.
