Adapalene sodium salt  (Synonyms: CD 271 sodium salt)

Cat. No.: HY-B0091A Purity: 99.69%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Adapalene (CD271) sodium salt, a third-generation synthetic retinoid, is widely used for the research of acne. Adapalene sodium salt is a potent RAR agonist, with AC50s of 2.3 nM, 9.3 nM, and 22 nM for RARβ, RARγ, RARα, respectively. Adapalene sodium salt also inhibits the enzymatic activity of GOT1 in a non-competitive manner. Adapalene sodium salt exhibits anti-tumor activity.

    Description

    Adapalene (CD271) sodium salt, a third-generation synthetic retinoid, is widely used for the research of acne. Adapalene sodium salt is a potent RAR agonist, with AC50s of 2.3 nM, 9.3 nM, and 22 nM for RARβ, RARγ, RARα, respectively. Adapalene sodium salt also inhibits the enzymatic activity of GOT1 in a non-competitive manner. Adapalene sodium salt exhibits anti-tumor activity[1][2][3].

    IC50 & Target

    AC50: 2.3 nM (RARβ), 9.3 nM (RARγ), and 22 nM (RARα)[1]

    In Vitro

    Adapalene sodium salt (1-200 μM; 24 h) inhibits the viability of ES-2, HOV-7, MCF-7 , Hela, SW1990, HT1080, and MM-468 cells, with IC50s of 10.36 μM, 10.81 μM, 12.00 μM, 19.08 μM, 19.52 μM, 21.70 μM, and 31.47 μM, respectively[2].
    Adapalene sodium salt (10-40 μM; 24 h) induces ES-2 cells apoptosis and inhibits proliferation in vitro[2].
    Adapalene sodium salt (3-30 μM; 6-24 h) significantly increases the G1-phase population in LoVo or DLD1 cells[3].
    Adapalene sodium salt (1-200 μM) inhibits GOT1 activity, with an IC50 of 21.79 μM[2].
    Adapalene sodium salt (10-6-10-3 nM) inhibits the expression of plasma membrane-associated enzyme transglutaminase Type I, with an IC50 of 2.5 nM[1].

    Concentration: 10, 20, 40 μM
    Incubation Time: 24 hours
    Result: Showed a significant increase in apoptosis compared with the control group.
    Down regulated the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and PARP.

    Cell Cycle Analysis[3]

    Cell Line: LoVo or DLD1 cells
    Concentration: 3, 10, 30 μM
    Incubation Time: 6, 12, 24 hours
    Result: Caused cell cycle arrest in G1 phase in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
    In Vivo

    Adapalene sodium salt (15-100 mg/kg; p.o. daily for 21 days) inhibits the growth of DLD1 cell-derived xenograft tumors in BALB/C nude mice[3].

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

    Animal Model: Female BALB/C nude mice (15 g, 4-5 weeks) were injected with DLD1 cells[3]
    Dosage: 15, 20, 65, 100 mg/kg
    Administration: P.o. daily for 21 days
    Result: Significantly reduced tumor weight and volume.

    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.
