Dauricine is a bioactive alkaloid with anticancer properties extracted from Menispermum dauricum DC. Dauricine inhibits tumor cell proliferation and induces apoptosis by suppressing signaling pathways such as Hedgehog, PI3K/Akt, and Src/STAT3[1-2]. Dauricine is applicable for research in various cancers and Alzheimer's disease[3-4].
In vitro, PC9-OR and H1975-OR osimertinib-resistant lung cancer cell lines were co-treated with Dauricine (0-100μM) and osimertinib. Dauricine induced ferroptosis in the cells, significantly inhibiting their viability[5]. A549, H1299, A427, and LLC lung adenocarcinoma cells were treated with Dauricine (5–20μM) for 24–48 hours. Dauricine significantly inhibited cell proliferation and migration, induced cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase, increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, downregulated Nrf2 expression, and ultimately triggered apoptosis[6].
In vivo, nude mice bearing BxPC-3 pancreatic cancer xenografts were treated with daily intraperitoneal injections of Dauricine (6mg/kg and 12mg/kg) for 21 days. Dauricine significantly inhibited tumor growth without markedly affecting the spleen index[7]. Ten-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were treated with intraperitoneal injections of Dauricine (2.5mg/kg; every two days) in combination with LPS (5mg/kg; once a week) for 3 weeks. Dauricine significantly alleviated LPS-induced inflammatory bone loss[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | A549, H1299, A427, and Lewis Lung Carcinoma (LLC) cells (lung adenocarcinoma cell lines) |
Preparation Method | A549 and H1299 cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 medium, A427 cells in Modified Eagles Medium (MEM), and LLC cells in Dulbecco's Modified Eagles Medium (DMEM), all supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin at 37°C, 5% CO₂. Cells were treated with Dauricine (5–20μM) for 24-48 hours |
Reaction Conditions | 5–20μM; 24-48 hours. |
Applications | Dauricine significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of lung adenocarcinoma cells, induced cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase, and markedly increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Dauricine also led to the downregulation of the redox regulator Nrf2 and altered the expression of apoptosis-related markers (decreased Bcl-2, increased BAX and cleaved Caspase 3). |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | 10-week-old female C57BL/6J mice |
Preparation Method | Mice were randomly assigned to four groups and treated via intraperitoneal injection for 3 weeks. Groups received: (1) vehicle control (PBS); (2) vehicle with Dauricine (2.5mg/kg, once every two days); (3) LPS (5mg/kg, once a week); (4) LPS with Dauricine. |
Dosage form | 2.5mg/kg; i.p.; once every two days for 3 weeks. |
Applications | Co-treatment with Dauricine significantly prevented LPS-induced bone loss, as evidenced by increased bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume (BV/TV), and trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), and decreased trabecular separation (Tb.Sp). Dauricine also reduced the number of osteoclasts (OC.N/BS), lowered serum levels of the bone resorption marker CTX-1, the inflammatory marker MCP-1, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) elevated by LPS. Dauricine alone did not induce significant differences compared to the vehicle control. |
