1. Ethyl pyruvate

Ethyl pyruvate is a simple derivative of the endogenous metabolite pyruvate. Ethyl pyruvate is an HMGB1 release inhibitor. Ethyl pyruvate can induce apoptosis by autophagy. Ethyl pyruvate has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-tumor activity. Ethyl pyruvate can be used in the study of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Description

Ethyl pyruvate is a simple derivative of the endogenous metabolite pyruvate. Ethyl pyruvate is an HMGB1 release inhibitor. Ethyl pyruvate can induce apoptosis by autophagy. Ethyl pyruvate has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-tumor activity. Ethyl pyruvate can be used in the study of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease[1][2][3][4][5].

In Vitro

Ethyl pyruvate (10 mM, 1 h) has no toxic effect on N9 microglial cells in the range of 1-10 mM. The activation of microglia NLRP3 inflammasome is decreased by inhibiting the HMGB1/ NF-κB /miR-223 signaling pathway[2].
Ethyl pyruvate (10-40 mM, 6, 24 h) induces apoptosis in MC38 cells[3].
Ethyl pyruvate (5-15 mM, 2 h) has an IC50 value of 28.83 mM on mouse peritoneal macrophages. Endotoxemia and sepsis are prevented by inhibiting caspase-11-dependent pyroptosis [4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Viability Assay[2]

Cell Line: N9 microglial
Concentration: 1-100 mM
Incubation Time: 1 h
Result: Did not show cytotoxic effects in the range of 1–10 mM.

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: N9 microglial
Concentration: 10 mM
Incubation Time: 1 h
Result: Suppressed LPS (HY-D1056)- and ATP (HY-B2176)-induced IL-1β and IL-18 protein and mRNA levels.
Reduced NLRP3, Caspase-1, and ASC Specks.
Reduced NF-κB activation and HMGB1 expression level.

Apoptosis Analysis[3]

Cell Line: MC38
Concentration: 10, 20, 40 mM
Incubation Time: 6, 24 h
Result: Induced an increase in autophagy and apoptosis in a dose-and time-dependent manner.
In Vivo

Ethyl pyruvate (80 mg/kg intraperitoneal injection for 9 consecutive days) inhibits tumor growth in a mouse liver tumor model[3].
Ethyl pyruvate (2 or 40 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection) has reduced lipid peroxidation and anti-inflammatory effects in a rat model of paraquat intoxication[5].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Liver tumor model in mice[3]
Dosage: 80 mg/kg
Administration: i.p., 30 min before tumor injection and daily up to 9 days and daily from 7 to 10 days after infusion of tumor cells.
Result: Decreased innate immune cells (NK cells, monocytes) and T and B cell lymphocytic infiltrates.
Inhibited the release of HMBG1.
Animal Model: Paraquat-intoxicated rats[5]
Dosage: 2 or 40 mg/kg
Administration: 30 min before or 1 h after paraquat (50 mg/kg i.p.)
Result: Decreased the MDA concentrations at 6 and 24 h.
Decreased NO concentrations significantly at 6 h and GSH concentrations in the lung.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
