Description: | Jatrorrhizine is a potent and orally active uptake-2 transporter inhibitor, it can be isolated from various Chinese medicinal plants[1]. Jatrorrhizine exhibits a critical neuroprotective role in H2O2-induced apoptosis via inhibition of MAPK pathway in HT22 hippocampal neurons[2]. |
Target: | Uptake-2 transporter[1] |
In Vitro: | Organic cation transporters (OCTs) and the plasma membrane monoamine transporter (PMAT) are major uptake-2 transporters[1]. Jatrorrhizine significantly inhibits the plasma membrane monoamine transporter (PMAT) -mediated MPP+ uptake in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 value of 1.05 μM[1]. Jatrorrhizine demonstrates a more powerful inhibition on serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) uptake mediated by hOCT2 and hOCT3 than that mediated by PMAT[1]. Jatrorrhizine attenuates the H2O2-induced Bcl-2/Bax ratio reduction and caspase-3 activation in these neurons[2]. |
