SDS COA Handling Instructions Technical Support

(+)-Erinacin A (Erinacine A) is a cyanoditerpenoid isolated from Hericium erinaceus with anticancer, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities. (+)-Erinacin A can induce cancer cell death by activating extrinsic and intrinsic apoptosis pathways. (+)-Erinacin A can also inhibit the expression of NO synthase (iNOS) and the production of nitrotyrosine to exert inflammatory and neuroprotective effects, thereby reducing ischemic brain damage.

Description

(+)-Erinacin A (Erinacine A) is a cyanoditerpenoid isolated from Hericium erinaceus with anticancer, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities. (+)-Erinacin A can induce cancer cell death by activating extrinsic and intrinsic apoptosis pathways. (+)-Erinacin A can also inhibit the expression of NO synthase (iNOS) and the production of nitrotyrosine to exert inflammatory and neuroprotective effects, thereby reducing ischemic brain damage[1][2][3][4][5].

In Vitro

(+)-Erinacin A (30 μM; 3-24 h) activates the extrinsic and intrinsic apoptosis pathways in DLD-1 cells and reduces the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins[4].

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

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: DLD-1 Cells
Concentration: 30 µM
Incubation Time: 3-24 h
Result: Increased active forms of caspase-3, caspase-9 and caspase-8.
Decreased the expression of the antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL.
Upregulated the levels of phosphorylated JNK Thr183 and Tyr185, NFκB, and p300 proteins.
In Vivo

(+)-Erinacin A (1, 5 and 10 mg/kg, i.p.; single dose) inhibits neuronal cell death in SAM rats with transient stroke and suppresses the expression of inflammatory cytokines in SAM brain tissues with transient stroke[4].
(+)-Erinacin A (1, 2 and 5 mg/kg, i.p.; once a day for 5 days) significantly reduces tumor volume in DLD-1 xenograft mice[5].

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

Animal Model: DLD-1 xenograft mouse model[5].
Dosage: 1, 2 and 5 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) once a day for 5 days
Result: Inhibited tumor volume by 60%, 32% and 26%.
Animal Model: SAM rats with transient stroke[4].
Dosage: 1, 5 and 10 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) single dose
Result: Induced NeuN immune response in the entire brain region of SAM rats, and increased the number of NeuN cells.
Inhibited the activation of iNOS and p38/MAPK pathways and the expression of CHOP and nitrotyrosine proteins in rat brain tissue.

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.
