Pteropodine is a heterohimbine-type oxindole alkaloid specifically isolated from ‘Cat’s claw’ (Uncaria tomentosa), a plant that has shown cytostatic, anti-inflammatory and antimutagenic properties and is used in traditional medicine to cure a number of diseases. Pteropodine positively modulate the function of rat muscarinic M1 and 5-HT2 receptors expressed in Xenopus oocyte but further studies are necessary to elucidate the exact mechanism by which Pteropodine positively modulates muscarinic M1 and 5-HT2 receptor functions. Pteropodine reduced the sister-chromatid exchanges and micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes production by doxorubicin in mouse, showing a protective effect on the in vivo DNA damage. Pteropodine exhibited a significant pro-apoptotic effect on Medullary thyroid carcinoma cells. Moreover, anti-proliferative effect of pteropodine was demonstrated on the acute lymphoblastic leukaemia cells and ovarian carcinoma cells.

In Vitro Use Guide

CEM-C7H2 cells were incubated for 24, 48 and 72 h with increasing concentrations (50–200 uM/l) of pteropodine. Dex, a standard chemotherapeutic agent for T-ALL cells, served as positive control. A dose of 50 uM/l pteropodine increased the sub-G1 population after 24 h by 31% compared with controls.
