Description

Picrotoxin (Cocculin) is a plant alkaloid that is a non-competitive antagonist of GABAA receptors and can block the chloride channel of GABAA receptors[1]. Picrotoxin does not act on the GABA recognition site, but may act on ion channels and can act as a central nervous system stimulant, causing excessive stimulation and convulsive reactions [2]. Picrotoxin is a non-competitive antagonist of glycine receptors [3].

In vitro, Picrotoxin (25-1000µM) treated SCN cells, concentration-dependently accelerated the circadian rhythm of cell discharge activity, and Picrotoxin (100µM) selectively advanced the accumulation of PER 2 protein by approximately 3.7 h without affecting PER 2 stability[4]. Picrotoxin (100µM) treated HEK293 cells, significantly inhibiting the expression of 5-HT3A receptors in the cells. Picrotoxin (10-300µM) inhibits 5-HT gated current in cells in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 value of approximately 30µM[5].

In vivo, Picrotoxin (1mg/kg) treated NG2-CreERTM:EYFP mice via intraperitoneal injection for 5 days significantly increased the number and density of OPC neuron pairs[6]. Picrotoxin (2mg/kg) treated female CD rats by intraperitoneal injection increased the acetylcholine content in the striatum by approximately 70% and the level of homovanillic acid by approximately 30% [7].

Picrotoxin(Cocculin)是一种植物生物碱,是 GABAA受体的非竞争性拮抗剂,可阻断GABAA受体的氯离子通道[1]。Picrotoxin不作用于GABA识别位点,但可能作用于离子通道内,可作为中枢神经系统兴奋剂,会引发过度刺激和惊厥反应[2]。Picrotoxin是甘氨酸受体的非竞争性拮抗剂[3]。

在体外,Picrotoxin(25-1000µM)处理SCN细胞,浓度依赖性地加速了细胞放电活动的昼夜节律,Picrotoxin(100µM)选择性地将PER 2蛋白的积累提前了约3.7 h,而不影响PER 2的稳定性[4]。Picrotoxin(100µM)处理HEK293细胞,显著抑制了细胞表达5-HT3A 受体。Picrotoxin(10-300µM)以浓度依赖性方式抑制细胞中5-HT门控电流,IC50值约为30µM[5]。

在体内,Picrotoxin(1mg/kg)通过腹腔注射处理NG2-CreERTM:EYFP小鼠5天,显著增加了OPC神经元对的数量和密度[6]。Picrotoxin(2mg/kg)通过腹腔注射处理雌性CD大鼠,使纹状体内乙酰胆碱含量增加约70%,高香草酸的水平增加约30%[7]。

实验参考方法

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

SCN cellls

Preparation Method

SCN cells were seeded on 30µm diameter electrodes and maintained in CO2 buffer for 3 weeks. Cover the culture chamber fixed to the array with fluorinated ethylene-polypropylene membrane and transfer to the recording incubator. Picrotoxin (25, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 µM) was added to the culture and discharges sustained for at least 4 days were recorded for rhythmic analysis.

Reaction Conditions

25, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 µM; 4 days

Applications

Picrotoxin accelerates the circadian rhythm of neuronal firing activity in a dose-dependent manner.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

NG2-CreERTM:EYFP mice

Preparation Method

NG2-CreERTM:EYFP mice received i.p. injections of tamoxifen once a day for 5 days. On day 10, drinking water was replaced with sweetened water. On day 12, sweetened water was replaced with BrdU sweetened water. On days 13-17, mice received one injection per day of either saline, picrotoxin (1.0 mg/kg; n = 4). Mice were euthanized on day 75, 8 weeks following the end of BrdU exposure.

Dosage form

1 mg/kg;i.p.

Applications

Picrotoxin increased the number and density of OPC neuron pairs.
