Guluronic acid sodium
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Guluronic acid (G2013) sodium is an orally active oxidative stress regulator and anti-inflammatory agent that exerts pharmacological effects by down-regulating various pro-inflammatory and oxidative stress-related genes (such as TLR4, NF-κB, iNOS, etc.) and inhibiting the activities of COX-2, MMPs and VEGF. Low-dose Guluronic acid sodium up-regulates the expression of immunoregulatory genes SHIP1 and SOCS1, thereby effectively inhibiting cancer-related inflammation, tumor angiogenesis, cell adhesion and metastasis, while reducing the accumulation of immunosuppressive cells. Guluronic acid sodium significantly prolongs the survival time of tumor-bearing hosts within a concentration range without direct cytotoxicity, demonstrating favorable safety. Guluronic acid sodium has involved in the research of multiple sclerosis, ankylosing spondylitis, breast cancer and other inflammatory diseases.

Guluronic acid sodium (G2013) (5-25 μg/well; 18 h following 4 h LPS pre-incubation) significantly suppresses LPS-induced mRNA expression of SOD2, GPX1, GST, and MPO in healthy human PBMCs; at 25 μg/well, it additionally significantly suppresses LPS-induced CAT and iNOS mRNA expression in these cells, while the 5 μg/well dose does not produce statistically significant reductions in CAT or iNOS mRNA expression[1].
Guluronic acid sodium (5 μg/well-15 μg/well; 24 h) in untreated HEK-Blue hTLR4 cells, at 5 μg/well (24 h) significantly reduces TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB gene expression, and significantly increases SHIP1 and SOCS1 gene expression; at 15 μg/well (24 h), it significantly reduces TLR4, MyD88, and SOCS1 gene expression, with non-significant changes to SHIP1 and NF-κB[2].
Guluronic acid sodium (200 ng/ml-125 μg/ml; 24 h) has no cytotoxic effect on HEK-Blue hTLR4 cells at concentrations below 125 μg/ml, and exhibits an IC50 of 125 μg/ml for 24 h treatment[2].
Guluronic acid sodium (25-500 μg/ml; 48 h) dose-dependently inhibits the activity of MMP2 (22-31% reduction) and MMP9 (28-44% reduction) in 4T1 murine breast cancer cells[3].
Guluronic acid sodium (25-500 μg/ml; 24 h co-incubation) reduces LPS-induced PG2E production by ~66% in J774 murine macrophage cells[3].

Guluronic acid (50 mg/kg; i.p.; every 2 days; day 6 to day 26 post-tumor inoculation) sodium and Guluronic acid (50 μg/ml; in vitro 48-hour pre-treatment of 4T1 cells) sodium inhibits cancer-related inflammation, reduces tumor growth by up to ~94.1%, eliminates metastasis in pre-treated cells, and prolongs survival in syngeneic murine breast cancer models[3].
