Biological Activity
Description: Teucrin A is a furan-containing diterpenoid found in the herb germander that is primarily responsible for the herb's hepatotoxicity in rodents and humans following metabolic activation by cytochrome P450 enzymes.
Targets: P450 (e.g. CYP17)
In vitro:

Identification of the protein targets of the reactive metabolite of teucrin A in vivo in the rat.[Reference: WebLink]
Covalent modification of proteins is associated with the toxicity of many electrophiles, and the identification of relevant in vivo protein targets is a desirable but challenging goal. Here, we describe a strategy for the enrichment of adducted proteins utilizing single-chain fragment variable (ScFv) antibodies selected using phage-display technology.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Teucrin A is a furan-containing diterpenoid found in the herb germander that is primarily responsible for the herb's hepatotoxicity in rodents and humans following metabolic activation by cytochrome P450 enzymes. Conjugates of the 1,4-enedial derivative of Teucrin A, its presumed toxic metabolite, with lysine- and cysteine-containing peptides were synthesized and used to select ScFvs from a rodent phage-displayed library, which recognized the terpenoid moiety of the teucrin-derived adducts. Immunoaffinity isolation of adducted proteins from rat liver homogenates following administration of a toxic dose of Teucrin A afforded a family of proteins that were identified by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. Of the 46 proteins identified in this study, most were of mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum origin. Several cytosolic proteins were found, as well as four peroxisomal and two secreted proteins. Using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis software, two significant networks involving the target genes were identified that had major functions in gene expression, small molecule biochemistry, and cellular function and maintenance. These included proteins involved in lipid, amino acid, and drug metabolism.
CONCLUSIONS:
This study illustrates the utility of chemically synthesized biological conjugates of reactive intermediates and the potential of the phage display technology for the generation of affinity reagents for the isolation of adducted proteins.

Hepatotoxicity of Germander (Teucrium chamaedrys L.) and One of Its Constituent Neoclerodane Diterpenes Teucrin A in the Mouse.[Reference: WebLink]
The hepatotoxicity of the herbal plant germander and that of one of its major furanoneoclerodane diterpenes, Teucrin A, were investigated in mice.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Teucrin A was found to cause the same midzonal hepatic necrosis as observed with extracts of the powedered plant material. Evidence that bioactivation of Teucrin A by cytochromes P450 (P450) to a reactive metabolite(s) is required for initiation of the hepatocellular damage is provided by results of experiments on the induction and inhibition of P450 and from studies on the effects of glutathione depletion. Pretreatment of mice with the P450 inducer phenobarbital enhanced the hepatotoxic response, as indicated by an increase in plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels and hepatic necrosis, while pretreatment with the P450 inhibitor piperonyl butoxide markedly attenuated the toxic response.
CONCLUSIONS:
Hepatotoxicity of Teucrin A also was increased following pretreatment with the inhibitor of glutathione synthesis buthionine sulfoximine. Most importantly, the tetrahydrofuran analog of Teucrin A, obtained by selective chemical reduction of the furan ring, was not hepatotoxic, a result that provides strong evidence that oxidation of the furan ring moiety of the neoclerodane diterpenes is involved in the initiation of hepatocellular injury caused by germander.

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.

Characterization of the amino acid adducts of the enedial derivative of teucrin A.[Reference: WebLink]
The toxicity of germander, a herb used to treat obesity, is attributed to cytochrome P450 activation of the furan ring of its major diterpenoid component (Teucrin A) into a reactive metabolite capable of adducting proteins. 1,4-Enedials have been proposed to be the reactive products of metabolism, possibly arising from a rearrangement of putative epoxide intermediates.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
We synthesized the enedial derivative of Teucrin A as well as the enedial derived from a model furan, 3-(4-methoxy-benzyloxymethyl)-furan, by dimethyldioxirane oxidation and characterized the products of their reactions with amino acids and peptides. The reactions of the model enedial, 2-(4-methoxy-benzyloxymethyl)-but-2-enedial, with N-acetyl lysine (NAL) afforded regioisomeric N-alkyl-3-pyrrolin-2-ones, differing in the substitution on the double bond of the heterocyclic ring. Novel products formed in the reactions of the model enedial with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) and both NAC/NAL uncovered the existence of tautomerization between the enedial and a hydroxyenal, which was manifest by the loss of 4-methoxybenzylalcohol and the incorporation of a second molecule of NAC. The reactions of Teucrin A-enedial with NAC and NAL afforded analogues of the products observed with the model enedial, and the existence of the tautomeric equilibrium resulted in epimerization of the proton (H12) adjacent to the former furan ring.
CONCLUSIONS:
This work further illuminates the complex chemical behavior of unsaturated dialdehydes as an important class of toxic metabolites and lays the foundation for studies of the protein targets of Teucrin A-enedial.
