Description of Cynaroside

Cynaroside is a flavonoid compound that exhibits a significant inhibition of α-glucosidase, with an IC50 value of 18.3µM[1]. Cynaroside inhibits the activity of influenza endonuclease with an IC50 value of 32µM [2]. Cynaroside can inhibit the MET/AKT/mTOR axis by reducing the phosphorylation levels of AKT, mTOR and P70S6K. It has been widely used as an anti-cancer agent to suppress the growth of various cancer cells[3].

In vitro, Cynaroside treatment for 24 hours significantly inhibited the proliferation of U87 cells and Caco-2 cells, with IC50 values of 26.34µg/ml and 97.06µg/ml, respectively[4]. Treatment with 100μM Cynaroside for 48 hours significantly inhibited the viability of HGC27 cells, causing the cell cycle to arrest at the S phase[5]. Pre-treatment with 100μM Cynaroside for 6 hours can alleviate the H2O2-induced damage to APRE-19 cells and reduce the protein expression of caspase 3[6].

In vivo, Cynaroside treatment via intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 50mg/kg every 3 days for 18 days significantly inhibited tumor growth and reduced tumor weight in HCT116 cell-xenograft tumor mouse model[7]. Intraperitoneal injection of 10mg/kg/day dose of Cynaroside was administered daily for 8 consecutive days, which significantly ameliorated renal tubular injury and interstitial fibrosis in the unilateral ureteral obstruction mouse model, accompanied by the improved renal function[8]. For 13 consecutive days, intraperitoneal injection of 20mg/kg/day dose of Cynaroside was administered daily, which effectively improved the anxiety, despair and anhedonia-like states in mice induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS), and reduced microglial activation in the hippocampus[9].

Protocol of Cynaroside

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

HGC27 cells

Preparation Method

The HGC27 cells were cultured in a DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin, and were incubated in a humidified environment at 37°C and 5% CO2. The logarithmic phase cells were inoculated into 96-well plates (1000 cells per well), and pre-cultured for 24 hours. Then, different concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100µM) of Cynaroside were added and incubated for 48 hours. The control group was treated with DMSO. MTT (5mg/ml; 20µl per well) was added to the cells and incubated in the cell culture box for 2 hours. The absorbance of the cells at 560nm was measured.

Reaction Conditions

0, 25, 50, 75 and 100µM; 48h

Applications

Cynaroside significantly inhibited the viability of HGC27 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Female BALB/c nude mice

Preparation Method

Female BALB/c nude mice, aged 4-6 weeks, were raised in a specified pathogen-free environment with a 12-hour light-dark cycle. HCT116 cells were resuspended at a density of 2×106 cells/ml, and 100μl of the cell suspension was subcutaneously injected into the right side of each mouse. On the 7th day, the tumor size was measured, and mice with a volume between 50 and 70mm3 were selected for further study. Each mouse was intraperitoneally injected with DMSO or 50mg/kg of Cynaroside every 3 days. The tumor size was calculated as (length×width2)/2. After 18 days of treatment, the mice were sacrificed, and the tumor tissues were collected for analysis.

Dosage form

50mg/kg; every 3 days for 18 days; i.p.

Applications

Cynaroside treatment significantly inhibited tumor growth and reduced tumor weight in mice.
