Description of Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate

Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate is a selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) M2 agonist[1-2]. Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate dose-dependently reduces mean arterial pressure and heart rate by activating M2 receptors. Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate can be used in research related to cardiovascular diseases[3-4].

In vitro, MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cells were treated with Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate (0.01μM – 1mM) for 24 hours. Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate significantly inhibited cell viability, proliferation, clonogenicity, and migratory capacity, while also downregulating the expression of cell cycle-related genes (CCND1, CDK6, MKI67). Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate caused cell cycle arrest in MDA-MB-231 cells and induced apoptosis in MCF-7 cells[5]. In anticholinesterase-pretreated rat diaphragm neuromuscular junction preparations, Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate (0.5–50μM) did not significantly alter non-quantal acetylcholine release as measured by the H-effect (endplate hyperpolarization amplitude)[6].

In vivo, Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate (3, 10, 30mM) was microinjected (0.5μl) into the cerebellar cortex (lobule VI) of anesthetized SD rats. Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate dose-dependently reduced mean arterial pressure and heart rate, with this cardiovascular inhibitory effect recovering within approximately 2.5 minutes[7]. Intrathecal injection of Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate (0.3–30nmol/mouse) dose-dependently suppressed leukocyte migration in a zymosan-induced air pouch model in ICR mice and selectively increased Fos expression (a neuronal activation marker) in sympathetic preganglionic neurons of the T7-T11 spinal segments (which primarily project to the adrenal medulla)[8].

Protocol of Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

MDA-MB-231 (human triple-negative breast adenocarcinoma cell line) and MCF-7 (human estrogen receptor-positive breast adenocarcinoma cell line)

Preparation Method

MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells were maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin at 37°C, 5% CO₂. Cells were treated with Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate (0.01μM–1mM) for 24 hours.

Reaction Conditions

0.01μM–1mM; 24h.

Applications

Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate significantly inhibits cell viability, proliferation, clonogenicity, and migratory capacity in breast cancer cells. Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate induces cell cycle arrest in MDA-MB-231 cells and promotes apoptotic cell death in MCF-7 cells. Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate downregulates the expression of key proliferation- and cell cycle-associated genes, including CCND1, CDK6, and MKI67.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Male ICR mice

Preparation Method

Mice received an intrathecal injection of Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate (0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30nmol/mouse in 0.5μl) 5 minutes before the induction of local inflammation via zymosan injection into a preformed subcutaneous air pouch. Leukocyte migration into the pouch was quantified 4 hours post-zymosan. In a separate immunohistochemical analysis, animals were perfused 4 hours after zymosan injection to assess neuronal activation.

Dosage form

0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30nmol/mouse in 0.5μl; i.t.; single injection.

Applications

Intrathecal Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate dose-dependently suppressed zymosan-induced leukocyte migration and selectively increased Fos expression (a marker of neuronal activation) in sympathetic preganglionic neurons of the T7-T11 spinal segments. Arecaidine but-2-ynyl ester tosylate anti-inflammatory effect is mediated by the suppression of spinal GABAB receptor-mediated inhibitory input, leading to the disinhibition of sympathetic preganglionic neurons and subsequent release of anti-inflammatory catecholamines from the adrenal medulla.
