Chitohexaose hexahydrochloride
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Chitohexaose hexahydrochloride is a small molecular polysaccharide. Chitohexaose hexahydrochloride inhibits the binding of AgW to TLR4. Chitohexaose hexahydrochloride upregulates IL-10, inhibits LPS-induced upregulation of ROS, induces alternative activation of macrophages/monocytes, and suppresses LPS-induced production of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. Chitohexaose hexahydrochloride reverses the mortality of mice challenged with APAP or LPS. Chitohexaose hexahydrochloride can be used in research related to Acetaminophen (HY-66005)-induced hepatotoxicity and endotoxemia.

Chitohexaose (48 h) does not activate the canonical inflammatory pathway in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from BALB/c mice, but potently inhibits LPS-induced production of proinflammatory mediators and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Meanwhile, it induces alternative activation of macrophages by upregulating Ym-1, Arginase-1, and interleukin-10 (IL-10)[2].
Chitohexaose (10 μg/mL; 48 h) does not trigger inflammatory activation in PBMC-derived monocytes, but inhibits LPS-induced proinflammatory cytokine production and induces alternative activation by promoting IL-10 release and arginase activity[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Chitohexaose (10 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose; administered concurrently with APAP + LPS) reduces the mortality rate of acute liver failure induced by APAP + LPS in male C57BL/6 mice; when administered as a single i.p. dose of 10 mg/kg concurrently with the toxin combination, it achieves a 50% survival rate in mice, while also reducing liver enzyme levels and alleviating systemic inflammation[1].
Chitohexaose (250 μg; i.p.) inhibits lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced production of proinflammatory mediators and increases the level of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in BALB/c mice with endotoxemia[2].
