Description of Sophoridine

Sophoridine is a common quateracyclic quinolizidine alkaloid, which can induce apoptosis [1]. Sophoridine ameliorates cardiac Ca2+-induced Ca2+ transients through the up-regulation of the L-type Ca2+ channels (LTCCs) and recovery of the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium capacity by upregulating SERCA2a expression in cardiomyocytes [2]. Sophoridine has been widely used to inhibit the proliferation of various cancer cells and induce DNA breaks [3].

In vitro, Sophoridine treatment for 48 hours significantly inhibited the viability of PANC-1 cells, Miapaca-2 cells, and HepG2 cells, with IC50 values of 19.23µM, 22.65µM, and 26.78µM, respectively[4]. Treatment with 1mg/ml of Sophoridine for 24 hours induced cell cycle arrest in U87MG cells, promoted cell apoptosis, and led to an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and a decrease in glutathione content[5]. Treatment with 20μg/ml Sophoridine for 24 hours significantly inhibited the migration of NCI-H446 cells and activated the p53 signaling pathway and the Hippo pathway[6].

In vivo, Sophoridine treatment via intragastric administration at a dose of 25mg/kg daily for 25 days significantly inhibited tumor growth in the Lewis tumor-bearing mouse model, with no obvious organ toxicity [7]. Oral administration of 12.15mg/kg/day of Sophoridine for 5 consecutive days significantly reduced paw edema in mice induced by carrageenan, and inhibited the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, PGE2, and IL-8[8].

Protocol of Sophoridine

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

PANC-1 cells

Preparation Method

PANC-1 cells were grown in DMEM medium supplied with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS), 100U/ml penicillin, and 100μg/ml streptomycin at 37°C in 5% CO2/atmosphere. Cells (5×103 cells/ml) were seeded in 96-well plates and allowed to adhere in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C overnight. Different concentrations of Sophoridine (0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100μM) were treated for 48h, and the cell viability was analyzed.

Reaction Conditions

0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100μM; 48h

Applications

Sophoridine treatment significantly reduced the cell viability of PANC-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Female C57BL/6J mice

Preparation Method

Female C57BL/6J mice (6-week-old) were routinely maintained in a standard environment with food and water ad libitum. LLC cells (8 × 105 cells) in 0.2ml of PBS were injected subcutaneously into the right back side of the mouse. After 1 day, mice were intragastrically (i.g.) administered with 0.2ml of Sophoridine (25mg/kg/day) for 25 days. Tissue (heart, liver, kidney, and spleen) slides were stained with H&E, and the mouse tumors were measured.

Dosage form

25mg/kg/day for 25 days; i.g.

Applications

Sophoridine treatment significantly inhibited the tumor growth of Lewis-bearing mice without causing toxicity on the heart, liver, kidney, and spleen tissues.
