Epigoitrin is a natural alkaloid that provides protection against influenza infection by reducing the host’s susceptibility to influenza virus under stress. Epigoitrin exerts antiviral activity against influenza A1 virus FM1 via inhibiting virus attachment and multiplication in vitro. Epigoitrin also has lipid-lowering effects.

Description

Epigoitrin is a natural alkaloid that provides protection against influenza infection by reducing the host’s susceptibility to influenza virus under stress. Epigoitrin exerts antiviral activity against influenza A1 virus FM1 via inhibiting virus attachment and multiplication in vitro. Epigoitrin also has lipid-lowering effects[1][3].

In Vitro

Epigoitrin (100 μM; 24 h) reduces intracellular triglyceride and total cholesterol levels, increases short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity, promotes glucose uptake and glycogen storage, increases ATP production, reduces glutathione content, decreases reactive oxygen species, and enhances superoxide dismutase activity in HepG2 cells[3].
Epigoitrin inhibits the viability of RAW264.7 cells,with an IC50 of 2 mM[2].
Epigoitrin (1-100 μM; pretreated for 2 h, co-treated with Corticosterone (HY-B1618) for 48 h, and infected with H1N1 virus for 1.5 h) shows a dose-dependent inhibition of the mRNA expression of the NP gene in A549 cells compared with untreated cells[1].

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

RT-PCR[1]

Cell Line: Corticosterone-loaded A549 cell.
Concentration: 1 μM, 12.5 μM, 25 μM, 50 μM, 100 μM
Incubation Time: Pretreated for 2 h, co-treated for 48 h
Result: Inhibited the mRNA expression of the NP gene.
In Vivo

Epigoitrin (88-176 mg/kg/d; oral administration; once daily; for 7 consecutive days) reduces the susceptibility of mice to influenza virus in a restraint - stress - induced H1N1 virus - infected mouse model, manifested as reduced mortality, attenuated inflammation, and decreased viral replication in the lungs[1].
Epigoitrin (50-100 mg/kg; added to the feed; for 12 weeks) reduces fat deposition, improves glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, and increases energy expenditure in a high-fat diet-induced obese mouse model[3].

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

Animal Model: Five-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were fed a high-fat diet to establish an obesity model[3].
Dosage: 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg
Administration: Added to the feed, continuously administered for 12 weeks
Result: Reduced fat deposition in HFD mice.
Reduced adipocyte hypertrophy.
Alleviated hepatic steatosis, as shown by reduced liver lipid droplets and lower liver and serum TG and TC levels.
Had no effect on food intake.
Animal Model: Specific-pathogen-free male Kunming mice (4 weeks of age; 12-15 g) loaded with restraint stress[1]
Dosage: 88 mg/kg, 176 mg/kg
Administration: Oral administration, once daily, for 7 days
Result: Increased the survival rate, prolonged the mean day to death, and reduced the morbidity sign.
Significantly decreased the virus titer in the lungs, reduced the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lungs, and lowered the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
Increased the protein expressions of MAVS, IFN-β, and IFITM3 in the lung tissue, and decreased the protein level of MFN2 and virus nucleoprotein (NP) in stressed mice.

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 (19.35 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 (19.35 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    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.

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.
