Diminazene aceturate  (Synonyms: Diminazene diaceturate)

Cat. No.: HY-12404 Purity: 99.39%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Diminazene aceturate (Diminazene diaceturate) is an anti-trypanosome agent for livestock. The main biochemical mechanism of the trypanocidal actions of Diminazene aceturate is by binding to trypanosomal kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) in a non-intercalative manner through specific interaction with sites rich in adenine-thymine base pairs. Diminazene aceturate is also an angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) activator and has strong and potent anti-inflammatory properties.

    In Vitro

    Pre-treatment of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) and dendritic cells (BMDC) with Diminazene aceturate (Berenil) downregulats LPS-, CpG- and Poly I:C-induced proinflammatory cytokine production, suggesting that it may be affecting common pathways through which these molecules stimulate proinflammatory cytokine production. Indeed, Diminazene aceturate does not alter the expression of different TLRs (including TLR2, TLR4 and TLR9), on macrophages and DCs when assessed by flow cytometry. Instead, Diminazene aceturate dramatically downregulats the phosphorylation of MAPKs (ERK, p38 and JNK), STATs (STAT1 and STAT3) and NFκB p65 subunit, which are key signaling molecules and transcription factors involved in the production of proinflammatory cytokines[2].

    In Vivo

    Diminazene aceturate (14 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; female BALB/c mice and C57BL/6 mice) treatment significantly reduces the percentages of CD25+ cells, a concomitant reduction in the percentage of regulatory (CD4+Foxp3+) T cells and a striking reduction in serum levels of disease exacerbating pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-6, IL-12, TNF and IFN-γ[1].

    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.
