Immunosuppressive effects of demethylzeylasteral (cas 107316-88-1) in a rat kidney transplantation model

In this study, we examined the immunosuppressive activity of demethylzeylasteral (cas 107316-88-1) (T-96), isolated from the traditional Chinese herbal medicine, Tripterygium wilfordii Hook f. Its immunosuppressive effect was investigated using mouse splenocytes in vitro, and in an in vivo rat kidney transplant model. T-96 inhibited mouse splenocyte proliferation in a dose dependent manner. In the rat kidney transplant study, rats were randomly divided into eight groups following kidney transplantation, and different doses of T-96 or cyclosporin A (CsA) were administered to each group. T-96 alone at doses of 10 or 20 mg/kg/day significantly prolonged the survival of kidney-transplanted rats, compared with transplanted but untreated control rats. A combination of T-96 and prednisone also significantly prolonged survival: 10 mg/kg/day T-96 with 10 mg/kg/day prednisone increased the survival time to 31.8 ± 6.5 days. Moreover, the combination of T-96 and prednisone was also effective in suppressing rejection of rat transplanted kidneys. These results demonstrate the strong immunosuppressive activity of T-96 and suggest a possible clinical use for T-96 as an immunosuppressive agent in the fields of organ transplantation and autoimmune disorders.
