| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Equisetin is a fungal metabolite that has been isolated from Fusarium. It inhibits HIV-1 integrase 3’ end-processing and strand transfer activities. Equisetin inhibits the ATPase activity of rat liver mitochondria and mitoplasts stimulated by 2,4-dinitrophenol (Dnp) in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 = ~8 nM per mg of protein for both). It also inhibits ADP-stimulated respiration and the mitochondrial transport of ATP, inorganic phosphate, and succinate. Epiequisetin is phytotoxic and inhibits the germination of various seeds and growth of young seedlings. | [Uses]
The tetramic acid, equisetin, is produced by a number of species of Fusarium. Interest in equisetin emerged with reports of its inhibitory activity against HIV-1 integrase in vitro that was mechanistically distinct from previously described inhibitors. Equisetin inhibits 3' end-processing and strand transfer, as well as disintegration catalysed by either the full-length enzyme or the truncated integrase core. | [in vivo]
Equisetin (20-80 mg/kg, i.g., 6 weeks) inhibits obesity and increased energy expenditure in high-fat diet-induced obese mice through inhibition of the enzymatic activity of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1)[5].
Equisetin (10 mg/kg, i.p., 6 h) shows significant anti-infective activity in a mouse model of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 infection[8].
Equisetin (5-20 mg/kg, p.o., every two days until 12 weeks) prevents atherosclerosis in mice by binding to and inhibiting the activity of STAT3[10].
| Animal Model: | Atherosclerosis model (eight-week-old male ApoE-/- mice were fed with HFD for 12 weeks)[10] | | Dosage: | 5, 20 mg/kg | | Administration: | Oral gavage (p.o.), every two days until 12 weeks | | Result: | Attenuated HFD-induced lipid area in the en face prepared aorta and aortic root.
Attenuated atherosclerotic lesion area (HFD versus HFD+5?mg/kg Equisetin: 31.71 versus 16.95; HFD versus HFD+20?mg/kg Equisetin: 31.71 versus 10.12).
Increased collagen content in the aortic plaques.
Increased α-SMA-positive areas in the plaques in aortic root.
