Description

Uric acid, scavenger of oxygen radical, is a very important antioxidant that help maintains the stability of blood pressure and antioxidant stress. Uric acid can remove reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as singlet oxygen and peroxynitrite, inhibiting lipid peroxidation[1][2].

Human Endogenous Metabolite

 

In Vitro

Uric acid (400 μM; 48 hours) protects Caco-2 cells from indomethacin-induced lipid peroxidation[2].
? Co-treatment of cells with Indomethacin and Uric acid (200 μM IND plus 400 μM UA; 24 hours) significantly decreases ROS levels compared to those in cells incubated with indomethacin alone. Cell viability in Caco-2 cells treated with both Indomethacin and Uric acid (200 μM IND plus 400 μM UA; 24 hours) is higher than that in cells treated with indomethacin alone. Uric acid has a protective effect on indomethacin-induced intestinal cell changes through its antioxidant activity[2].

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

In Vivo

Uric acid (250 mg/kg; p.o.) ameliorates indomethacin-induced enteropathy[2].
? Oral administration of uric acid decreased ROS accumulation in the ileum in a mouse model of indomethacin-induced enteropathy[2].

Animal Model: Eight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice[2]
Dosage: 250 mg/kg body weight
Administration: P.o.
Result: When mice treated with indomethacin were concurrently administered uric acid orally, ulcer areas were significantly reduced, in a uric acid dose-dependent manner.

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.
