Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
3-Heptadecylcatechol (5 min) inhibits ADP-induced rabbit platelet aggregation with an IC50 of 7.67 μmol/L and AA-induced rabbit platelet aggregation with an IC50 of 6.04 μmol/L[1].

-
Animal Model:BALB/c mice (male or female, 6-10 weeks)[2]
-
Dosage:2.5 mg (abdominal cutaneous application); 50 μg (ear cutaneous application)
-
Administration:cutaneous application; single dose
-
Result:Induced draining inguinal lymph node cell (LNC) proliferation that peaked 5-6 days post-abdominal treatment, while distal cervical LNC showed minimal proliferation.
Induced cervical LNC proliferation that peaked 5 days post-ear treatment; prior abdominal sensitization strongly suppressed this cervical LNC proliferation.
Induced suppressive activity against recipient LNC proliferation starting 7 days post-sensitization, with up to 58% suppression observed 10 days post-sensitization.
Showed both specific and non-specific components: suppression of homologous-induced proliferation was significantly stronger than suppression of OX-induced proliferation.
Completely abrogated suppressive activity when sensitized LNC were treated with anti-Thy-1.2 antibody plus complement, confirming suppressor cells are T lymphocytes.
Did not suppress the in vitro proliferation of optimally activated day-6 sensitized LNC.
Did not affect the induction of contact sensitivity, as ear swelling responses post-challenge were equivalent between recipients of sensitized LNC and normal LNC.
