Chloramphenicol succinate
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Chloramphenicol succinate is a prodrug of Chloramphenicol (HY-B0239), acting as a P2Y14R inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.585 nM. Chloramphenicol succinate serves as a competitive substrate and inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), which may account for its toxicity. Chloramphenicol succinate exerts a significant inhibitory effect on colitis. Chloramphenicol succinate can be used in research related to myelosuppression, gray baby syndrome, aplastic anemia, bacterial meningitis and inflammatory bowel disease.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Chloramphenicol succinate (50 μM; 3-24 h) is slowly oxidized to Chloramphenicol by cultured human bone marrow monocytes within 24 h[1].
Chloramphenicol succinate (50-100 μM; 30-60 min) is oxidized to Chloramphenicol by mitochondria isolated from human liver, rat liver and rat kidney within 60 min[1].
Chloramphenicol succinate is hydrolyzed by esterases present in the liver, kidney and lung of humans and animals, but not by blood esterases[2].
Chloramphenicol succinate ((0.01-100 μM; 24 h) exhibits only extremely low cytotoxicity against HT-29 cells when incubated at concentrations up to 100 μM for 24 h[3].

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

DSS-Induced Colitis
Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis is generated by administering DSS in mouse drinking water, producing epithelial injury, barrier disruption, weight loss, diarrhea, fecal blood, colon shortening, histologic mucosal damage, and inflammatory mediator changes; the model is mainly used to study acute or chronic intestinal inflammation resembling selected features of ulcerative colitis. DSS injury is interpreted through clinical and tissue readouts rather than a single molecular endpoint: daily body weight, stool consistency, and bleeding are combined into a disease activity index, while colon length, histology, cytokines, myeloperoxidase activity, intestinal permeability, and tight-junction markers provide complementary measures of inflammation and barrier damage.
-
TNBS-Induced Colitis
TNBS-induced colitis is produced by intrarectal delivery of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid in ethanol, where ethanol disrupts the mucosal barrier and TNBS haptenates colonic proteins, generating immune-mediated colonic inflammation with weight loss, diarrhea, ulceration, transmural injury, inflammatory-cell infiltration, and cytokine responses. The model is used as an experimental intestinal inflammation model with Crohn’s disease–like features, especially when Th1-type responses, IL-12–dependent inflammation, chronic relapsing inflammation, or fibrosis-related endpoints are studied.
