    Product Description

    Aconine is an alkaloid originally isolated from Aconitum species and active metabolite of aconitine.1 It inhibits osteoclast differentiation of RANKL-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and bone resorption in a pit formation assay in a concentration-dependent manner.2 Aconine also inhibits RANKL-induced activation of NF-κB and NFATc1 in RAW 264.7 cells. In vivo, aconine is toxic to mice when administered intravenously at a dose of 120 mg/kg.1 It induces flaccid paralysis and toxicity in rats with toxic dose (TD50) and LD50 values of 1.5 and 1.7 μmol per animal, respectively.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
