  3. Aaptamine

Aaptamine is an alkaloid that can be isolated from the sponge Aaptos suberitoides. Aaptamine is a competitive antagonist of the α-adrenergic receptor, as well as an inhibitor of the proteasome and cholinesterase. Aaptamine is cytotoxic to tumor cells and can induce apoptosis, cell cycle arrest of tumor cells, and the expression of p21 through a p53-independent pathway. Aaptamine has multiple activities such as anti-tumor, antioxidant, antibacterial, and analgesic effects.

In Vitro

Aaptamine (10 μM) can shift the dose-response curve of norepinephrine to the right in a parallel manner in isolated rabbit aorta and renal artery, without affecting the curves of histamine or potassium chloride[1].
Aaptamine (30 μg/mL; 0-48 h) can increase the expression of p21 and induce cell cycle arrest in MG63 cells[2].
Aaptamine (3 days) is cytotoxic to HeLa cells, with an IC50 of 15 μg/mL[3].
Aaptamine (50-100 μM; 6-24 h) can activate AP-1- and NF-κB-dependent transcriptional activity in JB6 Cl41 cells[4].
Aaptamine (5-55 µg/mL; 24 h) has an inhibitory effect on ESBL-producing Gram-negative uropathogenic bacteria[6].

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

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: MG63 cells
Concentration: 30 μg/mL
Incubation Time: 0, 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h
Result: Increased the level of p21.
In Vivo

Aaptamine (5-100 μg; intrathecal injection; single dose) has an analgesic effect in a rat model of chronic constriction injury (CCI)-induced peripheral neuropathy[7].

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

Animal Model: Chronic constriction injury treated adult male Wistar rats (250-285 g)[7]
Dosage: 5, 30 and 100 μg
Administration: Intrathecal injection; single dose
Result: Showed different durations of analgesic effects on CCI-induced nociception. The 5 μg, 30 μg, and 100 μg doses presented analgesic durations of 90, 150, and 150 minutes respectively. However, the variance in the group administered with 100 μg of aaptamine was the largest, and the rats presented some abnormal motor behavior.

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.
