Product Introduction

Berberine chloride AI Summary
Berberine chloride demonstrates a broad spectrum of bioactivities, including significant binding affinity to various DNA structures and receptors, leading to varied therapeutic potentials. It exhibits strong inhibitory effects against acetylcholinesterase (IC50 = 374.0 nM) and butyrylcholinesterase (IC50 = 18200.0 nM), highlighting its application in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. The compound shows potent in vitro antimalarial activity against drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains (IC50 = 0.141-0.148 µg/mL) and increases survival time in a murine model of Plasmodium berghei infection, indicating its potential as an antimalarial agent. Additionally, Berberine chloride presents significant antimicrobial activity against various bacterial and fungal pathogens, displaying MIC values ranging from 4.0 to 500.0 µg/mL across different strains, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MIC = 2.0 µg/mL). It also exhibits antiviral activities, notably inhibiting HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (IC50 = 100.0 µg/mL) and SARS-CoV-2 induced cytotoxicity in cell-based assays. In cancer research, Berberine chloride shows cytotoxicity against multiple cancer cell lines, with IC50 values indicating moderate to potent antiproliferative effects, especially against HT29 and HepG2 cells. The compound has also demonstrated the ability to induce apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation in various cancer cell lines. Further, Berberine chloride shows promise in cholesterol regulation by increasing LDLR mRNA expression and reducing blood cholesterol levels in hyperlipidemic models. It also activates AMPK, suggesting a role in metabolic regulation. The compound’s profile is complemented by its ability to inhibit enzyme activities related to Alzheimer’s disease, antimalarial efficacy, antimicrobial properties, anticancer potential, and metabolic benefits, making it a versatile candidate for further pharmaceutical development..

Bioactivity
Description
Berberine chloride (Natural Yellow 18) is an alkaloid derived from Hydrastis canadensis L. of the Berberidaceae family, serving as a commonly used intestinal antibacterial agent. Berberine chloride exhibits biological activities including anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, lipid-regulating, antitumor, and cardiovascular protective effects. Berberine chloride can be utilized in research on chronic diseases and tumors.
In vitro
Methods: Copper complexes (0–100 μM), berberine chloride (0–100 μM), and a combination treatment (copper complexes (0–100 μM) + BBC (50 μM)) were added to MDA-MB-231 VIM RFP (triple-negative breast cancer cells) and MCF-10A (normal human mammary epithelial cells). Incubation time: 24, 48, 72 h; cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 assay.
Results: Berberine chloride significantly inhibited cell growth, and combination therapy significantly enhanced cytotoxicity against cancer cells. [1]
Methods: LoVo cells were treated with 40 μM berberine chloride for 24 h, and cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry.
Results: Berberine chloride induced G₂/M phase arrest in LoVo cells. [2]
In vivo
Methods: Using a LoVo cell xenograft model in nude mice, Berberine chloride was administered orally at doses of 10, 30, and 50 mg/kg for 10 consecutive days, and the tumor suppression rate was calculated.
Results: The tumor suppression rate for 50 mg/kg Berberine chloride reached 45.3%, with no significant toxicity observed in mouse body weight or spleen.[2]

Please enter your animal experiment information in the following box and click Calculate to obtain the stock solution preparation method and in vivo formula preparation method:
TargetMol | Animal experiments For example, if the intended dosage is 10 mg/kg for animals weighing 20 g , with a dosing volume of 100 μL per animal, TargetMol | Animal experiments and a total of 10 animals are to be administered, using a formulation of TargetMol | reagent 10% DMSO+ 40% PEG300+ 5% Tween 80+ 45% Saline/PBS/ddH2O , the resulting working solution concentration would be 2 mg/mL.
Stock Solution Preparation:

Dissolve 2 mg of the compound in 100 μL DMSOTargetMol | reagent to obtain a stock solution at a concentration of 20 mg/mL . If the required concentration exceeds the compound's known solubility, please contact us for technical support before proceeding.

Preparation of the In Vivo Formulation:

1) Add 100 μL of the DMSOTargetMol | reagent stock solution to 400 µL PEG300TargetMol | reagent and mix thoroughly until the solution becomes clear.

2) Add 50 µL Tween 80 and mix well until fully clarified.

3) Add 450 µL Saline,PBS or ddH2OTargetMol | reagent and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous solution is obtained.
