Hypocrellin A is a PKC inhibitor that exerts antidiabetic activity by reversing the effects of high glucose on endothelin (ET-1) expression. Hypocrellin A is also a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT) with anticancer, antibacterial and antiviral activities, especially against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In addition, Hypocrellin-A also possesses anti-Leishmania activity (IC50=0.27 μg/ml).

Description

Hypocrellin A is a PKC inhibitor that exerts antidiabetic activity by reversing the effects of high glucose on endothelin (ET-1) expression. Hypocrellin A is also a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT) with anticancer, antibacterial and antiviral activities, especially against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In addition, Hypocrellin-A also possesses anti-Leishmania activity (IC50=0.27 μg/ml)[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].

Leishmania

 

In Vitro

Hypocrellin A (150 nM; 24 h) significantly reduces the release of VEGF and ET-1 from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) incubated in glucose (20 mM)[1].
Hypocrellin A shows good activity against Candida albicans (IC50=0.65 μg/ml) and moderates activity against Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Mycobacterium intracellularis[4].
Hypocrellin A (0.055-5.5 µM) loses the infectivity of both HIV-1 and VSV in a concentration-dependent manner when treats with 1 J/cm2 white light[5].
Hypocrellin A (5 µM; 6 h) increases the secretion of multiple anti-angiogenic factors in LN229 glioma, U937 macrophages and SVHCEC endothelial cells after photochemotherapy[6].
Hypocrellin A (0.25-1 µM; 48 h) has a negative impact on cell viability, migration, invasion and apoptosis of three non-small cell lung cancer cells, H460, PC-9 and H1975[8].

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    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (4.57 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.
