ProtocolIn VitroAssessment of cell viability does not detect obvious toxicity when Osthole is used at a dose up to 100 µM. However, when the dose reached 500 µM, Osthole started to show toxic effect. Based on these observations, Osthole is used in all in vitro studies at the dose range of 10 to 100 µM. Osthole dose-dependently promotes osteoblast differentiation, as shown by the upregulation of osteoblast differentiation marker genes such as type I collagen (col1), bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteocalcin (OC) (2 days of culture). Osthole promotes ALP activity in mouse primary osteoblasts in a dose-dependent manner
In VivoSubcutaneous injection of Osthole at a dose of 5 mg/kg per day onto mouse calvariae significantly stimulates local bone formation, as shown by histologic analysis of calvarial samples harvested 2 weeks after the last injection and stained with H&E orange G. Histomorphometric analysis reveals that Osthole has a significant effect on bone formation as potent as the positive control, the microtubule inhibitor TN-16. This effect, however, is not seen when Osthole is used at a dose of 1 mg/kg per day. Intraperitoneal injection of Osthole for 8 weeks significantly reverses bone loss in the ovariectomized rats. Histologic examination of the L4samples stained with trinitrophenol poinsettia demonstrates a partial recovery of the trabecular structure in ovariectomized rats treated with Osthole. Histomorphometric analysis shows that treatment with Osthole significantly increases total BMD, trabecular bone volume, and trabecular thickness and decreases trabecular separation
