| ln Vitro |
On TRPA1-expressing cells, vacangine (100 μM; HEK cells) causes a Ca2+ influx, but not on the other TRPs. Voacangine inhibits the activation of TRPV1 induced by capsaicin (CAP) as well as the activation of TRPM8 induced by icilin and menthol. Voacangine reduces the activation of TRPV1 produced by CAP. Voacangine exhibits a CAP response inhibition that is dose-dependent. Voacangine inhibits CAP on TRPV1 in a competitive manner. Voacangine acts at the same recognition site on hTRPV1 as CAP, making it a competitive antagonist. Voacangine is an agonist for TRPA1 but an antagonist for TRPV1 and TRPM8. Voacangine specifically prevents TRPV1 from being activated by heat and CAP. The first TRPM8 antagonist that exists naturally and competes with menthol is vacangine. Voacangine specifically prevents TRPM8 activation generated by pharmacological agonists. [1]. At an IC50 of 18 μM, vacangine prevents HUVECs from proliferating while having no cytotoxic effects. In a dose-dependent way, vocacangine reduces the expression levels of VEGF, the target gene of hypoxia inducible factor-1α[2].

| ln Vivo |
Voacangine strongly inhibits angiogenesis in vitro, including chemoinvasion and tube formation produced by VEGF[2].

| Enzyme Assay |
Voacangine (1) is an alkaloid found in the root bark of Voacanga africana. Our previous work has suggested that 1 is a novel transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) antagonist. In this study, the agonist and antagonist activities of 1 were examined against thermosensitive TRP channels. Channel activity was evaluated mainly using TRP channel-expressing HEK cells and calcium imaging. Herein, it was shown that 1 acts as an antagonist for TRPV1 and TRPM8 but as an agonist for TRPA1 (EC50, 8 μM). The compound competitively blocked capsaicin binding to TRPV1 (IC50, 50 μM). Voacangine (1) competitively inhibited the binding of menthol to TRPM8 (IC50, 9 μM), but it showed noncompetitive inhibition against icilin (IC50, 7 μM). Moreover, the compound selectively abrogated chemical agonist-induced TRPM8 activation and did not affect cold-induced activation. Among these effects, the TRPM8 inhibition profile is unique and noteworthy, because to date no studies have reported a menthol competitive inhibitor of TRPM8 derived from a natural source. Furthermore, this is the first report of a stimulus-selective TRPM8 antagonist. Accordingly, 1 may contribute to the development of a novel class of stimulus-selective TRPM8 blockers.[1]

The crude extract of V. africana inhibits the proliferation of HUVECs in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 1B). Voacangine is a known principal component of this extract. Therefore, we investigated whether voacangine is responsible for the observed anti-proliferative activity of the extract. As shown in Fig. 1C, voacangine inhibited cell growth at 10 μM. Notably, it exerted a greater growth inhibition effect on HUVECs than on other normal and cancer cell lines (Table 1).[2]
