Hypaphorine, an indole alkaloid extracted from leguminous plants, exerts anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects by modulating multiple signaling pathways, including PI3K/Akt/mTOR and p38/JNK. Hypaphorine is frequently investigated in studies related to neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic disorders[1-2]. Additionally, Hypaphorine has been shown to effectively prevent osteoporosis[3], and exhibits antiviral activity against Dengue virus[4].
In vitro, pretreatment of human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1) with Hypaphorine (0–100μM) for 6 hours, followed by lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 500ng/mL) stimulation for 48 hours, significantly suppressed LPS-induced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, MCP-1, VCAM-1). Hypaphorine also reversed LPS-induced upregulation of TLR4 protein and mRNA levels and downregulation of PPAR-γ. Furthermore, it blocked LPS-activated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling[5]. In RAW 264.7 macrophages, Hypaphorine (12.5–50μM) pretreatment for 1 hour, followed by LPS (1μg/mL) stimulation for 24 hours, markedly inhibited LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, MCP-1) expression and NO/PGE₂ release, while downregulating COX-2 and iNOS protein expression. Hypaphorine also suppressed LPS-induced phosphorylation of ERK, IκBα, IKKβ, and NF-κB, and inhibited NF-κB nuclear translocation[6].
In vivo, Hypaphorine (10mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection) administered 2 hours after LPS (20mg/kg) significantly attenuated LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Hypaphorine reduced lung histopathological damage, decreased total cell counts and neutrophil proportions in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and lowered lung wet/dry weight ratio, microvascular permeability, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)/myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. Mechanistically, Hypaphorine upregulated DUSP1 expression and inhibited p38/JNK activation, thereby suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-18) [7]. Hypaphorine (10mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection) was found to selectively inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity across all brain regions (cortex, cerebellum, striatum, hippocampus) in normal rat after 24 hours, with the D-enantiomer demonstrating potent inhibition in key brain areas[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1) |
Preparation Method | HMEC-1 cells were seeded into 6-well plates at a density of 5×10⁴ cells per well and cultured until 80% confluence. Cells were pretreated with Hypaphorine (0, 25, 50, or 100μM) for 6 hours, followed by lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 500ng/mL) stimulation for an additional 48 hours to establish the endothelial inflammation model. |
Reaction Conditions | Hypaphorine (0–100μM); 6-hour pretreatment+48-hour LPS stimulation. |
Applications | Hypaphorine downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, MCP-1, VCAM-1) at both mRNA and protein levels, inhibited PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway activation, and blocked NF-κB nuclear translocation and ERK phosphorylation. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Sprague-Dawley rats |
Preparation Method | Lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 20mg/kg) was administered intratracheally to induce sepsis-associated acute lung injury (ALI). Hypaphorine (10mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally 2 hours post-LPS. Control groups received saline or LPS alone. Rats were sacrificed after 24 hours for tissue and fluid collection. |
Dosage form | 10mg/kg; i.p. |
Applications | Hypaphorine exerted anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects by upregulating DUSP1 to inactivate the p38/JNK pathway, thereby mitigating LPS-induced ALI in rats. |
