Description

α-Amyrin is a pentacyclic triterpenoid compound with oral activity. α-Amyrin activates the ERK and GSK-3β signaling pathways. α-Amyrin can be used in the study of metabolic syndrome induced by high fructose diet and cognitive dysfunction caused by low cholinergic neurotransmission[1][2][3].

In Vitro

α-Amyrin (10 μM, 24 h) induces AMPK and PPARδ/ γ-mediated GLUT4 translocation in C2C12 myoblasts[1].

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

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: C2C12
Concentration: 1, 10 100 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Reduced cell viability at 100 μM.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: C2C12
Concentration: 10 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Increased the mRNA and protein expression of PPARs, GLUT4 and FATP.
In Vivo

α-Amyrin (50, 100, 200 mg/kg orally, once daily for 42 days) can reduce the survival rate of rats with metabolic syndrome induced by high fructose diet[2].
α-Amyrin (2 or 4 mg/kg, orally) improves cognitive dysfunction caused by low cholinergic neurotransmission in mice by activating ERK and GSK-3β signaling pathways[3].

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

Animal Model: High-fructose diet (HFD)-induced metabolic syndrome in rats[2]
Dosage: 50, 100, 200 mg/kg
Administration: p.o.
Result: Decreased systolic blood pressure, plasma glucose, total cholesterol, and plasma triglycerides.
Attenuated hepatic oxidative stress as well as micro- and macrovesicular fatty changes in hepatocytes caused by HFD.
Animal Model: Scopolamine-Induced Memory Impairment Mice[3]
Dosage: 2 or 4 mg/kg
Administration: p.o.
Result: Increased the expression levels of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (pERK) and phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3β (pGSK-3β).

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.
