Biological Activity
Description: Bufotalin is a cardiotoxic bufanolide steroid, cardiac glycoside analogue. Bufotalin has anti-cancer activity, it can induce apoptosis in Hep 3B cells, and caspase-8 inhibitor (Z-IETD) or wide-ranging caspase inhibitor (Z-VAD) significantly suppresses the bufotalin-induced apoptosis. Bufotalin is a powerful sensitizer of death receptor-induced apoptosis in cancer cells, it promotes death receptor-mediated cell death, especially TRAIL-induced apoptosis, through activation of caspase-3 and PARP-1.
Targets: CDK | p53 | p21 | Caspase | PARP | Akt | Bcl-2/Bax | TNF-α | STAT

Involvement of caspases and apoptosis-inducing factor in bufotaline-induced apoptosis of Hep 3B cells.[Pubmed: 19055367]
Bufotaline is one of the bufadienolides isolated from Formosan Ch'an Su, which is made of the skin and parotid glands of toads. Ingestion of toad venom results in severe morbidity and high mortality. Although Ch'an Su is clinically toxic, it has been used as an important traditional Chinese medicine for heart failure and pains.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
In this study, Bufotaline-induced apoptosis in human hepatocellular carcinoma Hep 3B cells was investigated. The results indicate that externalization of phosphatidylserine, accumulation of sub-G(1) cells, fragmentation of DNA, and formation of apoptotic bodies were observed in bufotalin-treated Hep 3B cells. The signaling pathway might be via the activation of caspase-8, increase in mitochondrial tBid, disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential, and translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF). Active caspase-8 might activate caspase-9 and caspase-3 leading to the cleavage of nuclear PARP. Presence of AIF and cleaved PARP in the nuclei might lead to DNA fragmentation. Caspase-8 inhibitor (Z-IETD) or wide-ranging caspase inhibitor (Z-VAD) significantly suppressed the bufotalin-induced apoptosis, while the anti-Fas neutralization antibody had no effect.
CONCLUSIONS:
These data suggest that Bufotaline-induced apoptosis in Hep 3B cells might involve caspases and AIF.

Bufotaline from Venenum Bufonis inhibits growth of multidrug resistant HepG2 cells through G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.[Pubmed: 22841670 ]
Venenum Bufonis, a traditional Chinese medicine, is widely used in the treatment of liver cancer in modern Chinese medical practices.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
In our search for anti-hepatoma constituents in Venenum Bufonis, Bufotaline, bufalin, telocinobufagin and cinobufagin were obtained. Bufotaline was the most potent active compound among these four bufadienolides, and it exerted stronger inhibitory effect on the viability of doxorubicin-induced multidrug resistant liver cancer cells (R-HepG2) than that of their parent cells HepG2. Structure-activity relationship analysis indicated that the acetyl group linked to C-16 of bufadienolides might be useful for increasing anti-hepatoma activity. Further mechanistic studies revealed that Bufotaline treatment induced cell cycle arrest at G(2)/M phase through down-regulation of Aurora A, CDC25, CDK1, cyclin A and cyclin B1, as well as up-regulation of p53 and p21. Bufotaline treatment also induced apoptosis which was accompanied by decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, increases in intracellular calcium level and reactive oxygen species production, activations of caspase-9 and -3, cleavage of poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) as well as changes in the expressions of bcl-2 and bax. It was also found that the inhibition of Akt expression and phosphorylation was involved in apoptosis induction, and specific Akt inhibitor LY294002 or siRNA targeting Akt can synergistically enhanced Bufotaline-induced apoptosis. In vivo study showed that Bufotaline significantly inhibited the growth of xenografted R-HepG2 cells, without body weight loss or marked toxicity towards the spleen.
CONCLUSIONS:
These results indicate that Bufotaline has a promising potential to become a novel anti-cancer agent for the treatment of liver cancer with multidrug resistance.

Storage: Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months(2-8C).

Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20C. Generally, these will be useable for up to two weeks. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Need more advice on solubility, usage and handling? Please email to: service@chemfaces.com

After receiving: The packaging of the product may have turned upside down during transportation, resulting in the natural compounds adhering to the neck or cap of the vial. take the vial out of its packaging and gently shake to let the compounds fall to the bottom of the vial. for liquid products, centrifuge at 200-500 RPM to gather the liquid at the bottom of the vial. try to avoid loss or contamination during handling.

Bufotaline sensitizes death receptor-induced apoptosis via Bid- and STAT1-dependent pathways.[Pubmed: 21887462 ]
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) are apoptosis-inducing ligands that stimulate death receptors.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
In this study, we investigated the effects of bufotalin, a major compound in toad venom, on sensitizing TNF-α and TRAIL-induced apoptosis of HeLa cells. Bufotalin promoted death receptor-mediated cell death, especially TRAIL-induced apoptosis, through activation of caspase-3 and PARP-1. Mitochondrial Bid-dependent pathway was activated in TNF-α-induced cell death. Cotreatment of bufotalin with TRAIL resulted in the downregulation of anti-apoptotic proteins, including Bcl-XL, Mcl-1, survivin and XIAP, and the up-regulation of MAPKs and TRAIL receptor DR5. In addition, phosphorylation of STAT1 was strongly inhibited by bufotalin. Moreover, DR5 expression was induced by knocking down the STAT1 expression. Moreover, the TRAIL-induced apoptotic response was promoted by STAT1 siRNA.
CONCLUSIONS:
Our results demonstrated that bufotalin is a powerful sensitizer of death receptor-induced apoptosis in cancer cells.
