Cucoline hydrochloride

Sinomenine hydrochloride (Cucoline hydrochloride), an alkaloid extracted from Sinomenium acutum, is a blocker of the NF-κB activation. Sinomenine also is an activator of μ-opioid receptor.

Sinomenine hydrochloride (i.p.) produces antinociception in the hot plate and tail flick tests in male rats at 40 mg/kg, but not at lower doses (10 or 20 mg/kg). At 10 to 40 mg/kg Sinomenine hydrochloride does not produce any observable side effect such as sedation, allergy or motor impairments. Sinomenine hydrochloride at 80 mg/kg i.p. does not produce any observable side effects in mice. I.p or p.o. Sinomenine hydrochloride at 40 or 80 mg/kg dose-dependently reduces mechanical hypersensitivity in nerve injured mice. I.p. Sinomenine hydrochloride at 40 mg/kg, but not lower doses or vehicle, significantly decreases mechanical and cold allodynia for up to 240 min without producing motor deficits or sedation. At doses of 10 to 40 mg/kg, Sinomenine hydrochloride dose-dependently increases the paw withdrawal threshold. In non-chronic constriction injury (CCI) healthy rats, Sinomenine hydrochloride at the dose range of 10 to 40 mg/kg does not change the immobility behavior in the forced swimming test.

Cell viability is gradually decreased with increasing Sinomenine hydrochloride concentration. The migration ability of MDA-MB-231 cells is significantly weakened by 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mM of Sinomenine hydrochloride treatment. The wound-healing assay reveals that 0.25 and 0.5 mM Sinomenine hydrochloride significantly suppress the healing of the wound. When the MDA-MB-231 cells are treated with 0.5 mM Sinomenine hydrochloride, the healing progress is about 50%, but in the group treated with 0.25 mM Sinomenine hydrochloride and the untreated control, the healing is about 80% and nearly 95%, respectively.
