Cat. No.: HY-N0926 Purity: 98.38%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Columbamine (Columbamin; Dehydroisocorypalmine) is an organic heterotetracyclic alkaloid extracted from plants. Columbamine is a metabolite of Berberine (HY-N0716). Columbamine inhibits the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP3A4 (IC50 = 30.6 µM). Columbamine induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Columbamine can be used for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antifungal, antiparasite, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic study.

Description

Columbamine (Columbamin; Dehydroisocorypalmine) is an organic heterotetracyclic alkaloid extracted from plants. Columbamine is a metabolite of Berberine (HY-N0716). Columbamine inhibits the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP3A4 (IC50 = 30.6 µM). Columbamine induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Columbamine can be used for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antifungal, antiparasite, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic study[1][2][3][4][5].

IC50 & Target

CYP3A4

30.6 μM (IC50)

In Vitro

Columbamine (M2) (15 μM, 24 h) decreases the intracellular triglyceride (TG) contents in Hep G2 cells[2].
Columbamine (15 μM, 24 h) induces a reduction of lipid synthesis and increases in fatty acid oxidation mediated via AMPK activation in Hep G2 cells[2].
Columbamine (10-50 μM, 24-72 h) inhibits the proliferation of colon cancer cells via suppressing Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway[4].
Columbamine (20-40 μM, 24 h) inhibits the invasion and migration of colon cancer cells[4].
Columbamine (20-40 μM, 48 h) triggers apoptosis by inhibiting a caspase-dependent mechanism in colon cancer cells[4].

Cell Proliferation Assay[4]

Cell Line: LoVo, HCT-116, SW480 (Human colorectal cancer cell lines)
Concentration: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 μM
Incubation Time: 24, 48, 72 h
Result: Inhibited the growth of the colon cells, which were proportional to treatment time and dosage.
Suppressed clone formation of HCT116 cells in a concentration and time-dependent manner.

Cell Migration Assay [4]

Cell Line: LoVo, HCT-116
Concentration: 20, 30, 40 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Significantly inhibited the migration and invasion of HCT116 and Lovo cells compared with the control cells.
Greatly impaired the invasion and migration of HCT116 cells in dose-dependent manner.
Suppressed the expression of N-Cadherin and promoted the expression of E-cadherin, resulting in the inhibition of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of colon cancer cells.
Attenuated expressions of MMP2, MMP7 and MMP9 proteins.

Apoptosis Analysis[4]

Cell Line: HCT-116
Concentration: 20, 30, 40 μM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Significantly prevented cell growth and promoted cell death at concentration from 20 μM to 40 μM.
Increased the population of Annexin V-positive cells.
The cleaved form of caspase-3 and PARP were increased without affecting the expression of caspase-3 and PARP.
Promoted pro-apoptosis factor BAD expression and repressed anti-apoptosis factor Bcl-2 expression.

RT-PCR[2]

Cell Line: Hep G2 cells
Concentration: 15 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Inhibited the expression of genes, such as FAS, HMGR, ACC and GPAT, which are associated with fat synthesis.
Increased the gene expression of mCAD, but had no effects on CPT-1.
In Vivo

Columbamine (5-20 mg/kg; 23 days) significantly decreases the tumor volumes in a dose-dependent manner in HCT116 xenograft mice model[4].

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

Animal Model: Six-weeks-old male BALB/c nude mice (subcutaneously injected with HCT116 and control cells on the opposite flanks of the same mouse)[4]
Dosage: 5, 10, 20 mg/kg
Administration: Administered to experimental mice for 23 days
Result: Decreased the tumor volumes in a dose-dependent manner.

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.
