Handling Instructions Technical Support

α-Santalol (cis-α-Santalol), a naturally occurring sesquiterpene, is an orally active anticancer agent and apoptosis inducer. α-Santalol activates caspase-3 to drive apoptotic processes. >α-Santalol induces apoptosis, decreases cell viability, and causes PARP cleavage in human prostate cancer cells. α-santalol inhibits Akt/Survivin pathway to induce cell death. α-Santalol can be used for the research of prostate cancer and diabetes mellitus.

IC50 & Target[1]

Caspase 3

 

In Vitro

α-Santalol (25-75 μM; 24-48 h) decreases viability of androgen-independent PC-3 and androgen-dependent LNCaP human prostate cancer cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner with an IC50 < 50 μM, while normal human prostate epithelial PrEC cells are relatively resistant to its growth-suppressive effects[1].
α-Santalol (25-50 μM; 24 h) induces apoptotic DNA fragmentation in human prostate cancer PC-3 and LNCaP cells, with LNCaP cells showing greater sensitivity to this effect than PC-3 cells[1].
α-Santalol (50 μM; 24 h) induces morphological features of apoptosis, including condensed and fragmented nuclear DNA, in human prostate cancer PC-3 and LNCaP cells[1].
α-Santalol (50 μM; 24 h) activates caspase-3 in human prostate cancer PC-3 and LNCaP cells, with a more robust response observed in LNCaP cells[1].
α-Santalol (25-50 μM; 24-48 h) induces cleavage of PARP, a downstream substrate of active caspase-3, in human prostate cancer LNCaP cells[1].
α-santalol (20, 40 μM) resulted in the down regulation of survivin and p-AKT (s-473) expression and statistically significant reduction in total survivin levels in prostate cancer cells[4].

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: PC-3 cells, LNCaP cells, PrEC cells
Concentration: 25 μM, 50 μM, 75 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h, 48 h
Result: Decreased PC-3 cell viability by ~75% after 24-h treatment with 50 μM.
Showed greater growth inhibition sensitivity in LNCaP cells than in PC-3 cells at 48 h.
Reduced PrEC cell viability by ~44% with 75 μM for 24 h, with minimal effects at 25 and 50 μM.
Achieved an IC50 < 50 μM in prostate cancer cells.

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: PC-3 cells, LNCaP cells
Concentration: 25 μM, 50 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Increased cytoplasmic histone-associated DNA fragmentation statistically significantly in both PC-3 and LNCaP cells after 24-h treatment with 50 μM, with an enrichment factor of ~3 in PC-3 cells and ~6 in LNCaP cells.

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: PC-3 cells, LNCaP cells
Concentration: 50 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Increased the percentage of apoptotic cells with condensed/fragmented DNA statistically significantly after 24-h treatment, which were rarely observed in control cultures.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: LNCaP cells
Concentration: 25 μM, 50 μM
Incubation Time: 24-48 h
Result: Induced strong expression of cleaved 89 kDa PARP in LNCaP cell lysates.
Increased expression of cleaved 89 kDa PARP at 48 h compared to 24 h.
In Vivo

α-Santalol (2.5-5% (w/v); topical application) exerts significant chemopreventive activity against chemically and UVB-induced skin carcinogenesis in Mus musculus, with no observed carcinogenic effects at these doses[1].
α-Santalol (12.5-200 mg/kg; 100-200 μg/10 μL; i.p.; p.o.; i.c.v.; single dose) dose-dependently induces central nervous system depressant effects in male ddY mice, including up to 95% reduction in spontaneous locomotor activity at 50 mg/kg i.p., 95% inhibition of acetic acid-induced writhing at 50 mg/kg i.p., and significant increases in hexobarbital-induced sleeping time, hypothermia, and brain HVA/5-HIAA levels at higher doses[2].
α-Santalol (100 mg/kg BW; i.p.) reduces blood glucose by 61% and modulates associated physiological and biochemical parameters to normoglycemic levels in Alloxan (HY-W017227)-induced diabetic male Swiss albino mice[3].
α-Santalol (100 mg/kg BW; i.p.) increases body weight by 27.75% and modulates key oxidative stress and liver function parameters in d-galactose-induced oxidative stress male Swiss albino mice[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.
