Description

Cynaropicrin is a sesquiterpene lactone which can inhibit tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) release with IC50s of 8.24 and 3.18 μM for murine and human macrophage cells, respectively. Cynaropicrin also inhibits the increase of cartilage degradation factor (MMP13) and suppresses NF-κB signaling.

NF-κB

 

In Vitro

Cynaropicrin strongly inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-α release from either murine or human macrophage cells in a dose-dependent manner with the IC50 values of 8.24 and 3.18 μM, respectively. Cynaropicrin shows significant inhibitory effects toward all mitogenic signals with the IC50 values of 1.20 (concanavalin A), 1.02 (phytohemagglutinin) and 0.90 μM (lipopolysaccharide), respectively. Cynaropicrin suppresses CTLL-2 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner and the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of Cynaropicrin for CTLL-2 cell growth is 0.91 μM[1]. The increased mRNA expression of MMP13 induced by TNF-α is similarly inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by Cynaropicrin. The increased mRNA expression of HIF-2α induced by IL-1β in SW1353 is inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by Cynaropicrin[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.22 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.22 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Cell Assay
[1]

Human U937 cells are cultured in RPMI1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. To differentiate U937 cells, 2×106 cells/mL are treated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) of 20 ng/mL for 24 h. The PMA is removed by washing and adherent cells are then allowed to recuperate for 40 h. The recuperated cells are subsequently incubated with lipopolysaccharide of 1 μg/mL for 6 h with Cynaropicrin and positive control drugs. Supernatants are harvested and assayed by ELISA kit for human TNF-α[1].

Animal Administration
[3]

Male Swiss mice are used in this study. Mice are housed at a maximum of 8 per cage and kept in a conventional room at 20 to 24°C under a 12 h to 12 h light-dark cycle. The animals are provided with sterilized water and chow ad libitum. Infection is performed by i.p. injection of 104 or 5×103 bloodstream trypomastigotes. The animals (18 to 21 g) are divided into the following groups (at least five mice per group): uninfected (noninfected and untreated), untreated (infected with T. cruzi but treated only with vehicle), and treated (infected and treated i.p. with 0.5 to 50 mg/kg/day compound (including Cynaropicrin) or 100 mg/kg/day benznidazole). Mice receive 0.1 mL (i.p.) at 5 and 8 days postinfection (dpi), or at 11, 12, and 13 dpi for the dose of 25 mg/kg, twice a day (b.i.d.)[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.
