Description of Deguelin

Deguelin is one of four major naturally occurring rotenoids isolated from root extracts and is best recognized as a NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) inhibitor, resulting in significant alterations in mitochondrial function[1]. Deguelin has shown promising results in targeting the hallmarks of tumor progression via inducing tumor apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and inhibition of angiogenesis and metastasis[2][3][5].

In vitro, Deguelin was applied on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma Hep-2 cells at a various concentration (10, 25, 50, 100 and 200µM) for 72 hours or for different time points (12, 24, 48 and 72 hours) with fixed concentration (100µM). Deguelin administration caused significant cell viability loss and growth inhibition in both dose- and time- dependent manner[3]. Deguelin (0.1 to 1.6nM) inhibited nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis in primary bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) for up to 7 days treatment[4].

In vivo, Deguelin (2 or 4mg/kg), when injected intraperitoneally daily for 21 days, reduced the in vivo tumor growth of human breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231 cells transplanted subcutaneously in athymic mice[5]. Deguelin (1 or 4mg/kg) was given by intraperitoneal injection into ovalbumin-preinduced asthmatic model mice 1h before each OVA aerosol challenge for 3 days. Deguelin effectively reduced OVA-induced inflammatory cell recruitment in BALF, decreased inflammatory cell infiltration and mucus production in lungs, suppressed airway hyperresponsiveness, and inhibited serum immunoglobulin and Th2 cytokines in asthmatic model[6]. Deguelin (20mg/kg) were immediately injected intraperitoneally into acetaminophen (APAP) incuded acute liver failure model mice. Deguelin exerted hepatoprotective effects against APAP-induced liver injury by enhancing hepatic glutathione (GSH) levels, reducing oxidative stress markers such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lowering hepatic levels of the toxic APAP metabolite NAPQI and APAP-protein adducts[7].

Protocol of Deguelin

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Primary bone marrow‐derived macrophages (BMMs)

Preparation Method

The BMMs were seeded in six‐well plates at a density of 1 × 105 cells/well and cultured in complete α‐MEM supplemented with 25ng/ml M‐CSF and 100ng/ml RANKL. After RANKL‐induced osteoclastogenesis, the BMMs were treated with different doses of Deguelin (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.6nM) for 7 days.

Reaction Conditions

0-1.6nM; 7 days

Applications

Deguelin inhibited osteoclasts formation in a dose‐ and time‐dependent manner by inhibiting the NF‐κB signaling pathway.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Six to seven weeks old female athymic mice (nu/nu)

Preparation Method

Animals receiving either 1) vehicle as a control 2) Deguelin treatment at 2mg/kg bodyweight dose or 3) Deguelin at 4mg/kg body weight. Each group consisted of 10 animals. Vehicle or Deguelin was administered through i.p. injection daily for 21 days.

Dosage form

2 or 4mg/kg; i.p; daily for 21 days

Applications

Deguelin Inhibited in vivo growth of MDA-MB-231 cells and reduced nuclear PCNA, EGFR (both cytoplasmic and membrane), pERK c-Met (nuclear), p-AKT and cytoplasmic and nuclear NFkB, nuclear Survivin protein expressions in xenograft.
