Fusaric acid

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

Fusaric acid is an orally active multi-pathway inhibitor with the activity of inducing oxidative stress and apoptosis. Fusaric acid can chelate divalent metal cations, damage mitochondrial membrane structure, and activate apoptosis-related proteases such as Caspase-3/7, -8, and -9. Fusaric acid also regulates Bax/Bcl-2 protein, inhibits fibrosis-related signaling pathways such as NF-κB, TGF-β₁/SMADs, and PI3K/AKT/mTOR, and reduces collagen deposition. Fusaric acid is also a dopamine β-hydroxylase inhibitor, which reduces endogenous levels of norepinephrine and epinephrine in the brain, heart, spleen, and adrenal glands. Fusaric acid can play a role in myocardial fibrosis and improve cardiac hypertrophy in heart disease, and can also be used in the study of esophageal cancer and liver cancer.

In Vitro

Fusaric acid (0-500 μg/mL; 24 h) inhibits cell viability in a dose-dependent manner in human esophageal cancer cells (SNO) with an IC₅₀ value of 78.81 μg/mL^[1].
Fusaric acid (100 μM; 24-72 h) induces programmed cell death in tobacco suspension cells, accompanied by H₂O₂ accumulation, decreases mitochondrial membrane potential, and activation of caspase-3-like proteases^[2].
Fusaric acid (0-160 μM; 24-96 h) inhibits the cell viability of rat cardiomyocytes (H9C2) and mouse cardiac fibroblasts (mCFs), and suppresses the expression of fibrosis-related proteins (α-SMA, type I/III collagen) in WB results at 24 h, and downregulates TGF-β₁/SMADs and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways^[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Viability Assay^[1]

Cell Line:

Cardiomyocytes isolated from mice, Rat cardiomyocytes (H9C2) and Mouse cardiac fibroblasts (mCFs)
Concentration:

1.25 μM, 2.5 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM, 20 μM, 40 μM, 80 μM, 160 μM
Incubation Time:

6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, 48 h, 72 h, 96 h
Result:

Only at the high concentration of 80 and 160 uM for long time (72 and 96 h), significant difference in cells, indicating a relatively low doses for time under 96 h showed no obvious cytotoxicity to cardiomyocytes isolated from mice and H9C2 cells.

In Vivo

Fusaric acid (50, 100 mg/kg; gavage; once a day; pretreatment for 7 days + continuous for 7 days) reduces myocardial fibrosis in the Isoprenaline (HY-B0468)-induced cardiac hypertrophy model in mice, reduces the heart weight/body weight ratio and heart weight/tibia length ratio, improves left ventricular function, and inhibits TGF-β1/SMADs and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways^[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model:

Male C57BL/6 mice (18-22 g, 8 weeks old) with Isoprenaline (HY-B0468)-induced cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis^[3]
Dosage:

50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg
Administration:

Oral gavage daily for 7 days before Isoprenaline treatment, then continued for another 7 days (total 15 days)
Result:

Cardiac hypertrophy markers:
Reduced heart weight/body weight and heart weight/tibia length ratios compared to the Isoprenaline group, indicating attenuated cardiac hypertrophy.
Histological analysis:
Masson's trichrome staining showed decreased collagen deposition in heart tissues, with reduced fibrosis area compared to the Isoprenaline group. WGA staining revealed smaller cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area, indicating attenuated myocyte hypertrophy.
Echocardiography:
Improved left ventricular function, including increased fractional shortening (FS%) and reduced left ventricular end-diastolic/systolic dimensions, compared to the Isoprenaline group.

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
