Description

Proflavine hemisulfate, an acridine dye, is a known DNA intercalating agent. Anti-microbial agent[1]. Proflavine hemisulfate behaves as a pore blocker for Kir3.2. Proflavine hemisulfate is a potential lead compound for Kir3.2-associated neurological diseases[2].

In Vitro

Proflavine (0.1-10 μM; 24 hours) inhibits the growth of Kir3.2-transformant cells and Kir3.2 activity in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
Proflavine (300 μM) progressively reduces the current amplitude of Kir3.2 mutant to 27.7±4.3% of the control[2].

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

Cell Viability Assay[2]

Cell Line: Kir3.2*-transformant BYT123 cells
Concentration: 0.1, 1, and 10 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Dose-dependent inhibition of the growth of Kir3.2*-transformant cells.
Attenuated the growth of Kir3.2*-transformant cells without affecting the growth of control cells.
In Vivo

The concentrations of Proflavine (20 mg/kg) in whole blood after intravenous injection decreased rapidly at the beginning and remained stable from around 30 min after dosing[3].

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

Animal Model: Adult male Sprague Dawley rats (weighing approximately 200 g)[3]
Dosage: 20 mg/kg (Pharmacokinetic Analysis)
Administration: Intravenous injection; 2, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 min after dosing
Result: Concentration decreased rapidly from whole blood in the first 5 min after dosing, followed by a slower decrease.

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.
