In Vitro:
Iberin inhibits the growth of neuroblastoma cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The iberin-induced cell cycle arrest in neuroblastoma cells is associated with inhibition of expression of cyclin-dependent kinase Cdk2, Cdk4, and Cdk6 proteins. There is an increase in apoptotic cell death in iberin treated cells as compared with control cells. The iberin-induced apoptosis is found to be associated with activation of caspase-9, caspase-3, and PARP Iberin inhibits growth of human glioblastoma cells in cell proliferation assays, enhances cytotoxicity, and induces apoptosis by activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9. Method(s) not verified, for reference only.
In Vivo:
Iberin is tested in an in vivo foreign-body infection mouse model, and the results show no significantly difference in bacterial clearance between treated and nontreated miced. Iberin increases tissue levels of the phase II detoxification enzymes quinone reductase and glutathione S-transferase in a variety of rat tissues. Method(s) not verified, for reference only.
Kinase Assay:
Cells are plated at a density of 1×105 cells/well in microtiter plates and treated with different concentrations of iberin (1, 2.5, 10 and 25 μM). Then 20 μL of 5 mg/mL MTT in PBS, is added to each well and allowed to incubate for a further 4 h. After 4 h of incubation, 100 μL of DMSO is added to each well to dissolve the formazan crystals. Absorbance values at 550 nm are measured with a microplate reader.Method(s) not verified, for reference only., Cells are plated at a density of 1×105 cells/well in microtiter plates and treated with different concentrations of iberin (1, 2.5, 10 and 25 μM).

Animal Administration:
Rats: Groups of five rats are dosed by oral intubation with the test compounds, as solutions in soybean oil, each day for 5 days. This doses used are 4.0 mg/kg/day for AITC, 5.9 mg/kg/day for iberverin, 6.5 mg/kg/day for iberin, 6.4 mg/kg/day for erucin, 7.1 mg/kg/day for sulforaphane, and 7.2 mg/kg/day for cheirolin. The volume of solution administered is 2 mL/kg in all cases. Ten control rats are dosed with soybean oil alone. Mice: Iberin is diluted in 96% ethanol to a concentration of 32 mg/mL followed by a 40x dilution in 0.9% NaCl. The mice are injected with 0.2 mL of the final solution, corresponding to 8 μg/g of body weight. The placebo group is injected with a 2.4% ethanol solution (96% ethanol–0.9% NaCl) corresponding to the amount of ethanol that the iberin-treated group received. Mice are treated every 12 h from day 2 preinsertion to day 2 postinsertion, and treatment is continued until 12 h before the mice are euthanized.Method(s) not verified, for reference only., Rats: Groups of five rats are dosed by oral intubation with the test compounds, as solutions in soybean oil, each day for 5 days.
