Isosilybin

SKU: orb1303734

Description

Isosilybin and Silybin are potential PXR antagonists for research, aimed at mitigating CYP3A4-mediated drug-drug interactions. Studies in vitro and in vivo support their application in oncology research for improving therapeutic safety by modulating nuclear receptor pathways.

Bioactivity

Target IC50
CYP3A4:74 μM.
In Vitro
The reporter gene assay demonstrates that the milk thistle constituents silybin and isosilybin inhibit the PXR-mediated induction of CYP3A4, with isosilybin being a more potent inhibitor. Concentrations of 89, 133, and 200 μM of isosilybin decrease CYP3A4 induction by 64, 82, and 88%, respectively, and achieve an IC50 of 74 μM. Additionally, the diastereoisomers isosilybin B and isosilybin A, derived from silymarin, exhibit anti-prostate cancer (PCA) activity through cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induction in human prostate cancer cells LNCaP and 22Rv1. Isosilybin B enhances phosphorylation of Akt and Mdm2, leading to androgen receptor degradation, which is reversed by PI3K inhibitor pretreatment. This process facilitates the formation of a complex that promotes phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of the androgen receptor. Isosilybin A significantly activates PPARγ at a 30 μM concentration, leading to a concentration-dependent transactivation of a PPARγ-dependent luciferase reporter. In silico docking studies indicate isosilybin A interacts with the receptor's ligand-binding domain through an additional hydrogen bond not found with inactive silymarin constituents.
Cell Research
LNCaP cells and 22Rv1 cells are plated and treated at 40–50% confluency with different doses of isosilybin B and isosilybin A (10–90 μM in medium) dissolved originally in Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for the desired time periods (24–48 h) in serum condition. An equal amount of DMSO (vehicle) is present in each treatment, including control; DMSO concentration did not exceed 0.1% (v/v) in any treatment. At the end of desired treatments, total cell number is determined by counting each sample in duplicate using a hemocytometer under an inverted microscope. Cell viability is determined using trypan blue exclusion method.
