An extract of royal jelly (RJ) induced processes from cultured rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. Active components were isolated, and identified as adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and AMP NI-oxide. AMP N-1-oxide was more than 20 times as active as AMP, judging from the minimal concentration to elicit activity. AMP N-1-oxide was thought to be responsible for about half of the process-forming activity of whole RJ. Chemically-synthesized AMP NI-oxide was active similarly to the molecule purified from RJ, confirming AMP N-1-oxide as the active entity. AMP N-1-oxide also suppressed proliferation of PC12 cells and stimulated expression of neurofilament M, a specific protein of mature neurons, demonstrating the stimulatory activity of AMP N-1-oxide to induce neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells. Pharmacological experiments suggested that AMP N-1-oxide actions are mediated by adenyl cyclase-coupled adenosine receptors, including A(2A). Thus AMP N-1-oxide is a key molecule that characterizes RJ, and is not found in natural products other than RJ.
