Catalpol

Cat.No.S3909

Catalpol (Catalpinoside, Digitalis purpurea L), an iridoid glucoside contained richly in the roots of the small flowering plant species Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch, has been shown to have antioxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis and other neuroprotective properties and plays a role in neuroprotection against hypoxic/ischemic injury, AD and PD in both in vivo and in vitro models.

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

In vitro
Catalpol is able to inhibit HCT116 cell proliferation. Furthermore, this compound induces apoptosis in HCT116 cells, which depends on the increased activities of caspase-3 and −9. In addition, it reduces the expression of PI3K, p-Akt and Akt in HCT116 cells[1]. In vitro, this chemical inhibits TNF-α, IL-6, IL-4 and IL-1β production and up-regulates IL-10 expression in LPS-stimulated alveolar macrophages[2].
In vivo
Catalpol decreases peroxynitrite formation and consequently exerts cardioprotective effects through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in ischemic/reperfusion rats. This compound inhibits lung W/D ratio, myeloperoxidase activity of lung samples, the amounts of inflammatory cells and TNF-α, IL-6, IL-4 and IL-1β in BALF induced by LPS. The production of IL-10 in BALF is up-regulated by this chemical[2].
