Pentadecane

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

Pentadecane is an orally active natural plant volatile alkane with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic and anti-leishmanial activities. Pentadecane presents IC₅₀ values of 65.3 μM, 60.5 μM and 194.8 μM against Leishmania infantum promastigotes, amastigotes and intracellular amastigotes, respectively. Pentadecane downregulates the mRNA expression of TNF-α and IL-12 and inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators. Pentadecane arrests the cell cycle of Leishmania infantum and induces apoptosis. Pentadecane can be applied to the research of inflammation and leishmaniasis.

In Vitro

Pentadecane (10-60 µg/mL; overnight) does not inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, or Pseudomonas aeruginosa^[1].
Pentadecane (60 µg/mL; 8 h) temporarily inhibits the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa over an 8-hour period, but does not prevent long-term bacterial growth^[1].
Pentadecane (10-70 µg/mL; 48 h pre-incubation, followed by 48 h LPS/IFN-γ stimulation) significantly downregulates TNF-α and IL-12 mRNA expression in LPS/IFN-γ-induced M1 phenotype U937 macrophages, with the most potent TNF-α inhibition seen at 10 µg/mL in hexane^[1].
Pentadecane (50-300 μM; 48 h) inhibits the viability of Leishmania infantum promastigotes (IC₅₀ = 65.3 μM) and axenic amastigotes (IC₅₀ = 60.5 μM) in a dose-dependent manner^[3].
Pentadecane (65.3-300 μM; 48 h) induces apoptotic-like morphological changes (loss of cell volume, nuclear condensation) in Leishmania infantum promastigotes^[3].
Pentadecane (65.3 μM; 24 h) induces cell cycle arrest in Leishmania infantum promastigotes, increasing the proportion of cells in the sub-G0/G1 phase and eliminating cells in the G2/M phase^[3].
Pentadecane (50-300 μM; 48 h) causes negligible cytotoxicity in DH82 dog macrophage cells, U937 human histiocytic lymphoma cells, and normal CPE primary epithelial cells^[3].
Pentadecane (300 μM; 48 h) inhibits the growth of Leishmania infantum intracellular amastigotes in U937-derived macrophages, reducing infection by 77% at 300 μM and exhibiting an IC₅₀ of 194.8 μM^[3].

Stock Solution Working Solution

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
