Biological Activity
| Targets |
- Salt-inducible kinase 1 (SIK1) [1] - Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) [1] |
| ln Vitro |
Phanginin A deters gluconeogenesis in primary mouse hepatocytes in a dose-dependent manner at 2.5, 5, and 10 µM [1]. Phanginin A (5, 10 µM) decreases intracellular cAMP buildup and the mRNA expression of G6P and PEPCK [1]. In primary mouse hepatocytes, Phanginin A (5, 10 µM; 0-120 min) decreases the expression of CREB phosphorylation in a time- and dose-dependent way [1]. In primary murine hepatocytes, Phanginin A (2.5, 5, 10 µM; 0-120 min) enhances p-SIK1 expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner [1]. PDE4 activity is increased by phanginin A (5, 10 µM) [1].
- Primary mouse hepatocytes: Treatment with Phanginin A (concentration not specified) significantly increased SIK1 phosphorylation through LKB1 activation, leading to suppression of gluconeogenic genes (e.g., PEPCK and G6PC) and reduced glucose production. This effect was blocked by pan-SIK inhibitor HG-9-91-01 or siRNA-mediated SIK1 knockdown [1] - PDE4 activity: Phanginin A enhanced PDE4 activity, resulting in decreased intracellular cAMP levels and subsequent inhibition of the cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway in hepatocytes [1] - SIK1 overexpression: Overexpression of SIK1 in hepatocytes mimicked the effects of Phanginin A, increasing PDE4 activity, reducing cAMP accumulation, and inhibiting gluconeogenesis [1] |
| ln Vivo |
In type 2 diabetes ob/ob mice, phanginin A (100 mg/kg; po; once) shows antigluconone action[1]. For 26 days, ob/ob mice treated with phanginin A (100 mg/kg; po; once daily) show improvements in metabolic abnormalities[1].
- ob/ob mice: Oral administration of Phanginin A (100 mg/kg) for 26 days significantly reduced random and fasting blood glucose levels by 29% and 32%, respectively, comparable to metformin (250 mg/kg). Glucose tolerance and dyslipidemia were also improved [1] - Acute treatment: Single-dose Phanginin A (100 mg/kg, oral) reduced hepatic gluconeogenesis in vivo, accompanied by increased SIK1 phosphorylation and PDE4 activity in the liver [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
PDE4 activity assay: PDE4 activity was measured using cAMP as a substrate. Recombinant PDE4 enzyme was incubated with Phanginin A and cAMP under specific conditions, and the hydrolysis of cAMP was quantified to determine PDE4 activity [1] |
| Cell Assay |
RT-PCR[1] Cell Types: Primary mouse hepatocytes Tested Concentrations: 5, 10 µM Incubation Duration: Experimental Results: Dramatically diminished PEPCK mRNA expression by 25% and 43% under basal conditions and 45% and 67% under forskolin-stimulated conditions, The G6P mRNA expression was also Dramatically decreased, with 5 and 10 μM of phanginin A resulting in a decrease of 30% and 46% under basal conditions and 38% and 57% under forskolin-stimulated conditions, respectively. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: Primary mouse hepatocytes Tested Concentrations: 0-120 min Incubation Duration: Experimental Results: Inhibited CREB phosphorylation in a time and dose-dependent manner. Primary mouse hepatocytes: Hepatocytes were isolated and treated with Phanginin A. Glucose production was measured using a glucose assay kit. SIK1 phosphorylation and cAMP levels were detected by Western blot and ELISA, respectively. Gene expression of gluconeogenic enzymes was analyzed by qPCR [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Type 2 diabetic ob/ob mice[1] Doses: 100 mg/kg Route of Administration: Po; once Experimental Results: Dramatically decreased the blood glucose, increased the phosphorylation of SIK1 in the liver by 119%, PDE4 activity in the liver was elevated by 74%, diminished in the cAMP concentration along with a 46% decrease in the CREB phosphorylation level in the liver, diminished the mRNA levels of PEPCK and G6P. Animal/Disease Models: Male ob/ob mice[1] Doses: 100 mg/ kg Route of Administration: Po; one time/day for 26 days Experimental Results: demonstrated an average reduction rate of 29% and 32% in random and fast blood glucose, demonstrated a marked improvement in glucose tolerance, Dramatically decreased by 20% in HbA1c level, demonstrated no effect on food intake and body weight. ob/ob mice: Phanginin A was dissolved in DMSO/PBS and administered orally at 100 mg/kg daily for 26 days. Blood glucose levels were monitored weekly, and glucose tolerance tests were performed after 23 days of treatment [1] |

| Additional Infomation |
- Mechanism: Phanginin A activates SIK1, which phosphorylates and activates PDE4, leading to cAMP degradation. Reduced cAMP levels inhibit the PKA/CREB pathway, thereby suppressing hepatic gluconeogenesis [1] - Therapeutic potential: Phanginin A shows promise as a lead compound for treating type 2 diabetes due to its ability to improve glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism [1] methyl (1S,2S,9R,10S,13R,14R,17R)-17-hydroxy-9-methyl-5,16-dioxapentacyclo[12.3.3.01,13.02,10.04,8]icosa-4(8),6-diene-14-carboxylate has been reported in Biancaea sappan with data available. |
