Product Description

Chelerythrine chloride (NSC-36405; NSC36405), a benzophenanthridine alkaloid extracted from the plant Greater celandine (Chelidonium majus), is a potent, cell-permeable, selective protein kinase C inhibitor with an IC50 of 660 nM.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Chelerythrine displaces the BH3-containing protein Bax from BclXL and inhibits the BclXL-Bak BH3 peptide binding with an IC50 of 1.5 μM. Loaded cells treated with chelerythrine underwent cell engraftment, which was characterized by mitochondrial involvement [1]. Chelidonine treatment activates and inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α levels and LPS-induced mouse peritoneal giant cells by blocking p38 mitogen protein activator (MAPK) and extracellular signal regulatory protein activator 1 and 2 (ERK1/2). Furthermore, the control of intermediate mediator expression by p38 MAPK and ERK1/2 may account for the effects of chelerythrine on the generation of NO and the cytokine TNF-α [2]. With an LD50 value of 3.46 μM, erythrine is cytotoxic to human monocyte leukocytes. Cells exposed to sanguinarine and chelerythrine dramatically decreased the expression of CCL-2 by 3.5 and 1.9 times, respectively, two hours after LPS stimulation [3]. In a dose-dependent way, chelidonine chloride markedly increased ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Furthermore, p38 phosphorylation can be inhibited by chelerythrine chloride [4].
ln Vivo
Chelerythrine inhibits the production of nitric oxide (NO) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the serum when exposed to LPS, thereby exhibiting significant anti-inflammatory effects in an in vivo experimentally induced mouse endotoxic shock model [2]. When administered intraperitoneally, chelerythrine chloride (5 mg/kg/day) causes RCC cells to undergo apoptosis without causing considerable harm to mice. P53 accumulates in response to cholerylthrine chloride treatment in a dose-dependent manner [4].

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 0.44 mg/mL (1.15 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 4.4 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 0.44 mg/mL (1.15 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 4.4 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 4.3 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
