Description

Ethalfluralin is a dinitroaniline herbicide and microtubule inhibitor. Ethalfluralin blocks nuclear division and cytokinesis of parasites by inhibiting intranuclear spindle formation. Ethalfluralin activates the phosphorylation levels of NF-κB and P38 MAPK, inhibits the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, impairs mitochondrial function, and induces apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, autophagy, and ROS production. Ethalfluralin is applicable to research related to toxoplasmosis[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Ethalfluralin (2-20 μM; 48 h) reduces the viability of pLE and pTr cells[1].

Ethalfluralin (20 μM; 4 h) impairs the migratory capacity of pLE and pTr cells[1].
Ethalfluralin (5-20 μM; 48 h) induces cell cycle arrest in pLE and pTr cells, resulting in an increase in the sub-G1 cell population and a decrease in the S-phase cell population[1].
Ethalfluralin (5-20 μM; 48 h) induces apoptotic cell death in pLE and pTr cells, increases the late apoptotic cell population in both cell lines, and elevates the early apoptotic cell population in pTr cells[1].
Ethalfluralin (5-20 μM; 48 h) reduces cytoplasmic calcium levels in pLE and pTr cells[1].
Ethalfluralin (5-20 μM; 48 h) reduces mitochondrial matrix calcium levels in pLE and pTr cells[1].
Ethalfluralin (5-20 μM; 48 h) disrupts the mitochondrial membrane potential of pLE and pTr cells[1].
Ethalfluralin (20 μM; 20 h) impairs mitochondrial respiratory function in pLE and pTr cells, reduces basal respiration, maximal respiration, spare respiratory capacity and ATP production in pLE cells, and decreases maximal respiration, spare respiratory capacity and ATP production in pTr cells[1].
Ethalfluralin (20 μM; 24 h) downregulates the mRNA expression of genes encoding subunits of mitochondrial respiratory complexes I-V in pLE and pTr cells[1].
Ethalfluralin (5-20 μM; 48 h) activates endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy pathways in pLE and pTr cells, upregulates the expression levels of GRP78, phosphorylated eIF2α, GADD153, phosphorylated ULK1 and phosphorylated P62, and promotes LC3B II/I conversion[1].
Ethalfluralin (5-20 μM; 48 h) activates the P38 MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways, and inhibits the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in pLE and pTr cells[1].
Ethalfluralin (20 μM; 48 h) impairs autophagic flux and reduces mitochondrial mass in pLE and pTr cells[1].
Ethalfluralin potently inhibits the replication of tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii RH strain in human primary foreskin fibroblasts, with an IC50 of 100 nM[3].
Ethalfluralin (0.5 μM; 36 h) exerts no significant inhibitory effect on the invasion of primary human foreskin fibroblasts by tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii RH strain, but causes severe morphological abnormalities in intracellular parasites[3].
Ethalfluralin (1 μM; 0-24 h) ablates the plaque-forming ability of tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii RH strain in primary human foreskin fibroblasts within 8-12 h, but has no effect on the viability of extracellular tachyzoites treated for 12 h[3].
Ethalfluralin (1 μM; 0-24 h) acts for up to 24 h but does not inhibit nucleic acid synthesis of tachyzoites of the Toxoplasma gondii RH strain in primary human foreskin fibroblasts, even though it completely abolishes parasite activity[3].
Ethalfluralin (1 μM; 20 h) blocks nuclear division of tachyzoites of the Toxoplasma gondii RH strain in primary human foreskin fibroblasts by inhibiting intranuclear spindle formation, while preserving their subpellicular microtubules and causing expansion of the endomembrane compartment[3].
Ethalfluralin (1 μM) inhibits the release of tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii RH strain induced by calcium ionophores in primary human foreskin fibroblasts, and simultaneously causes shrinkage of the vacuolar space and increased refractivity of treated parasites after ionophore treatment[3].

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.
