Cat. No.: HY-D0837 Purity: 99.94%
COA Handling Instructions

Imidazole (Glyoxaline; 1,3-Diaza-2,4-cyclopentadiene) is a heterocyclic aromatic compound. Imidazole bearing molecules have been used as corrosion, acetylcholinesterase (AChEI) and xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors, performing biological activities such as antifungal, antituberculosis, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic, amongst many others. Imidazole inhibits the enzymatic conversion of the endoperoxides (PGG2 and PGH2) to thromboxane A2 by platelet microsomes. Imidazole derivatives exhibits inhibition on SARS-CoV-2 3CLPro enzyme, which is promising for research in the field of Alzheimer’s disease, gout, COVID-19 and thrombo-embolic disease.

IC50 & Target

Human Endogenous Metabolite

 

In Vitro

Imidazole (0.01-100 μM, 48 h) shows no inhibitory activityis, but imidazole derivatizations shows significant inhibitory effects in different tumor cell lines[1].
Imidazole (0.01-100 μM, 48 h) has a weak affinity for both EGFR and HER2, whereas the derivatization improves their affinity for these receptors in tumor cells[1].

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

Cell Proliferation Assay[1]

Cell Line: A549, HBL-100, HeLa, SW1573, T-47D, WiDr cell lines
Concentration: 0.01-100 μM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Had no inhibitory activity in the compounds employed as control in different tumor cell lines.
In Vivo

Imidazole (50 pg/ml, infusion) and similar compounds are selective inhibitors of the conversion of endoperoxides into thromboxanes[3].

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.
