    Description

    C16-Ceramide (d18:1/16:0) is a natural small molecule activating p53 through the direct and selective binding[1].

    IC50 & Target

    p53[1], Apoptosis[2]

    In Vitro

    C16-Ceramide (d18:1/16:0) interacts with p53 within its core domain. p53 forms complex with natural C16-Ceramide (d18:1/16:0) in the cell[1].
    C16-Ceramide (d18:1/16:0) (2.5-50 μM; 0-48 h) strongly decreased HCT116 cell viability in a time- and concentration-dependent manner[2].
    C16-Ceramide (d18:1/16:0) (12 μM; 48 h) induces apoptosis through Btf (Bcl-2-associated transcription factor) in HCT116 cells[2].
    C16-Ceramide (d18:1/16:0) (12 μM; 0-6 h) and Btf expression up-regulate p53 and BAX expression. C16-Ceramide (d18:1/16:0) down-regulates Mdm2 expression via Btf[2].

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

    Cell Viability Assay[2]

    Cell Line: HCT116 cells
    Concentration: 2.5, 5, 10, 12, 20, 50 µM
    Incubation Time: 0-48 h
    Result: Strongly decreased cell viability in a time- and concentration-dependent manner.

    Western Blot Analysis[2]

    Cell Line: HCT116 cells
    Concentration: 12 μM
    Incubation Time: 1, 3 and 6 h
    Result: Increased PARP cleavage, decreased pro-caspase 3. Decreased the levels of stratifin and stathmin, increased the expression of prohibitin and Btf. RNAi-mediated Btf depletion also partially inhibited BAX expression after the treatment. Significantly decreased luciferase activity and Mdm2 protein expression levels.

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    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.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% EtOH    90% Corn Oil

      Solubility: ≥ 2 mg/mL (3.72 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (20.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
    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.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  0.5% HPMC/1% Tween-80 in Saline water

      Solubility: 4.95 mg/mL (9.20 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  15% Solutol HS 15    10% Cremophor EL    35% PEG400    40% Water

      Solubility: 5 mg/mL (9.30 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    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.
