Ceramide 3  (Synonyms: N-Stearoyl phytosphingosine)

Cat. No.: HY-141582 Purity: 98.0%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Ceramide 3 (N-Stearoyl phytosphingosine) is an orally active major component of intercellular lipids in the stratum corneum of the skin, and belongs to the ceramide family. Ceramide 3 inhibits c-jun and NF-κB activation induced by Histamine (HY-B1204), and suppresses the expression of IL-4 and TNF-α. Ceramide 3 inhibits scratching behavior and vascular permeability in mice, and exhibits antihistamine effects in guinea pig ileum. Ceramide 3 improves skin barrier function, reduces transepidermal water loss, erythema and the number of circulating epidermal cells, and accelerates barrier repair of irritated or dysfunctional skin.

Description

Ceramide 3 (N-Stearoyl phytosphingosine) is an orally active major component of intercellular lipids in the stratum corneum of the skin, and belongs to the ceramide family. Ceramide 3 inhibits c-jun and NF-κB activation induced by Histamine (HY-B1204), and suppresses the expression of IL-4 and TNF-α. Ceramide 3 inhibits scratching behavior and vascular permeability in mice, and exhibits antihistamine effects in guinea pig ileum. Ceramide 3 improves skin barrier function, reduces transepidermal water loss, erythema and the number of circulating epidermal cells, and accelerates barrier repair of irritated or dysfunctional skin[1][2][3].

In Vivo

Ceramide 3 (20-50 mg/kg; p.o.; single administration) dose-dependently inhibits histamine-induced pruritus and skin inflammation in mice[1].

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

Animal Model: ICR mice (male, 5 weeks old, 20-22 g)[1]
Dosage: 20 mg/kg; 50 mg/kg
Administration: p.o.; single dose 1 hour prior to histamine challenge
Result: Reduced histamine-induced scratching behavior frequency (statistically significant vs.
histamine-treated group) at 20 mg/kg.
Inhibited histamine-induced IL-4 protein expression (statistically significant vs.
histamine-treated group) at 20 mg/kg.
Inhibited histamine-induced TNF-α protein expression (statistically significant vs.
histamine-treated group) at 20 mg/kg.
Reduced histamine-induced vascular permeability (statistically significant vs.
histamine-treated group) at 20 mg/kg.
Reduced histamine-induced skin inflammation (epidermal hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltration) at 20 mg/kg.
Reduced histamine-induced scratching behavior frequency by 67% at 50 mg/kg.
Inhibited histamine-induced IL-4 protein expression by 75% at 50 mg/kg.
Inhibited histamine-induced TNF-α protein expression by 88% at 50 mg/kg.
Reduced histamine-induced vascular permeability by 51% at 50 mg/kg.
Reduced histamine-induced skin inflammation (epidermal hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltration) at 50 mg/kg.
Inhibited histamine-induced activation of transcription factors NF-κB (phospho-p65) and c-jun (phospho-c-jun) at both 20 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg.

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.
