    Product Description

    Toosendanin is a triterpenoid that has been found in M. toosendan and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3 It inhibits the proliferation of BEL-7404, U251, SH-SY5Y, HL-60, PC3, and U937 cancer cells (IC50s = <0.17 µM for all).1 Toosendanin is larvicidal against A. aegypti first instar larvae (LC50 = 60.8 µg/ml) and delays pupal development when used at concentrations ranging from 6.3 to 25 µg/ml.2 It decreases serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in a mouse model of ulcerative colitis induced by dextran sulfate (sodium salt) (DSS; Item No. 23250) when administered at doses of 0.5 and 1 mg/kg.3 Toosendanin (9 mg/kg) increases survival in a mouse model of botulism induced by botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT/A).1
