Azelaic acid  (Synonyms: Nonanedioic acid)

Cat. No.: HY-B0704 Purity: ≥98.0%
COA Handling Instructions

Azelaic acid is a nine-carbon dicarboxylic acid. Azelaic acid has antimicrobial activity against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis through inhibition of microbial cellular prorein synthesis. Azelaic acid has hypopigmentation action resulting from its ability to scavenge free radicals.

Description

Azelaic acid is a nine-carbon dicarboxylic acid. Azelaic acid has antimicrobial activity against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis through inhibition of microbial cellular prorein synthesis. Azelaic acid has hypopigmentation action resulting from its ability to scavenge free radicals[1][2].

In Vitro

Azelaic acid (0.5 M; 48 h-7 D) has antimicrobial effect[3].
Azelaic acid (5 M; 24 h) decreases intracellular Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) levels and increases antioxidant capacity[5].
Azelaic acid (1-100 nM, 24 h) suppresses B16, HMB2, and SK23 cell survival ability in a dose-dependent manner[6].

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

Cell Viability Assay[3]

Cell Line: Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis
Concentration: 0.5 M
Incubation Time: Propionibacterium acnes for 48 h, Staphylococcus epidermidis for 7 D
Result: Exhibited large reduction in viability (at least 40-fold) over 24 h.

Immunofluorescence[5]

Cell Line: HL60, U937, THP-1, and AML-PC cells
Concentration: 5 M
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Exhibited markedly decreasing the intracellular ROS levels.

Cell Viability Assay[6]

Cell Line: B16, HMB2, and SK23, CHO
Concentration: 10 nM, 20 nM, 30 nM, 40 nM, 50 nM, 60 nM, 70 nM, 80 nM, 90 nM, 100 nM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Showed significantly reduce in the number of B16, HMB2, and SK23 comparing to CHO.
In Vivo

Azelaic acid (15% gel; Smear; twice daily) in 15% gel is efficacious in people with moderate papulo-pustular[4].

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

Animal Model: Human with rosacea for 12 weeks[4]
Dosage: 15% gel
Administration: Smear
Result: Showed excellent improvent in 78% of the patients with Azelaic acid.

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.
