Description

Iberin (NSC 321801), a sulfoxide analogue of sulforaphane, is a naturally occurring member of isothiocyanate family. Iberin inhibits cell survival with an IC50 of 2.3 μM in HL60 cell. Iberin induces apoptosis.

IC50 & Target

IC50: 2.3 μM (HL60 cell)[1]

In Vitro

Iberin inhibits the growth of neuroblastoma cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The iberin-induced cell cycle arrest in neuroblastoma cells is associated with inhibition of expression of cyclin-dependent kinase Cdk2, Cdk4, and Cdk6 proteins. There is an increase in apoptotic cell death in iberin treated cells as compared with control cells. The iberin-induced apoptosis is found to be associated with activation of caspase-9, caspase-3, and PARP[2]. Iberin inhibits growth of human glioblastoma cells in cell proliferation assays, enhances cytotoxicity, and induces apoptosis by activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9[3].

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

In Vivo

Iberin is tested in an in vivo foreign-body infection mouse model, and the results show no significantly difference in bacterial clearance between treated and nontreated miced[4]. Iberin increases tissue levels of the phase II detoxification enzymes quinone reductase and glutathione S-transferase in a variety of rat tissues[5].

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 (15.31 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 (15.31 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
[2]

Cells are plated at a density of 1×105 cells/well in microtiter plates and treated with different concentrations of iberin (1, 2.5, 10 and 25 μM). Then 20 μL of 5 mg/mL MTT in PBS, is added to each well and allowed to incubate for a further 4 h. After 4 h of incubation, 100 μL of DMSO is added to each well to dissolve the formazan crystals. Absorbance values at 550 nm are measured with a microplate reader[2].

Animal Administration
[4][5]

Rats: Groups of five rats are dosed by oral intubation with the test compounds, as solutions in soybean oil, each day for 5 days. This doses used are 4.0 mg/kg/day for AITC, 5.9 mg/kg/day for iberverin, 6.5 mg/kg/day for iberin, 6.4 mg/kg/day for erucin, 7.1 mg/kg/day for sulforaphane, and 7.2 mg/kg/day for cheirolin. The volume of solution administered is 2 mL/kg in all cases. Ten control rats are dosed with soybean oil alone[5].

Mice: Iberin is diluted in 96% ethanol to a concentration of 32 mg/mL followed by a 40x dilution in 0.9% NaCl. The mice are injected with 0.2 mL of the final solution, corresponding to 8 μg/g of body weight. The placebo group is injected with a 2.4% ethanol solution (96% ethanol–0.9% NaCl) corresponding to the amount of ethanol that the iberin-treated group received. Mice are treated every 12 h from day 2 preinsertion to day 2 postinsertion, and treatment is continued until 12 h before the mice are euthanized[4].

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.
