MedChemExpress - Model Castanospermine -79831-76-8
Castanospermine is a natural alkaloid that can be extracted from black beans or the Moreton Bay chestnut tree (Castanospermum australae). Castanospermine is an α/ β-glucosidase inhibitor. Castanospermine has anti-inflammatory, antiviral replication and anti-metastatic effects on prostate cancer. Castanospermine can be used as an immunosuppressant to prevent transplant rejection[1][2][3][4].MCE products for research use only. We do not sell to patients.

Description：Castanospermine is a natural alkaloid that can be extracted from black beans or the Moreton Bay chestnut tree (Castanospermum australae). Castanospermine is an α/ β-glucosidase inhibitor. Castanospermine has anti-inflammatory, antiviral replication and anti-metastatic effects on prostate cancer. Castanospermine can be used as an immunosuppressant to prevent transplant rejection.
In Vitro：Castanospermine (0.01-1000 μM, 48 h) inhibits the production of DEN infectious virus in a dose-dependent manner and slows the electrophoretic mobility of DEN prM (a glycosylated structural protein) in BGK-21 cells[1].
In Vivo：Castanospermine (10, 50, 250 mg/kg, i.p., a single dose for 10 consecutive days) can improve the survival rate of mice infected with DEN-2 virus[1]. Castanospermine (10-500 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection) can improve the symptoms of acute pancreatic injury in rats[2].
