In Vitro
Tetramethyluric acid (50-100 μM) exhibits anti-influenza virus activity in MDCK cells, inhibiting NS1 protein expression[1].
Tetramethyluric acid (1.5×10-2 M) reduces 32P-labelled orthophosphate incorporation into DNA and RNA and increases ATP levels by 40% in excised Vicia faba root tips[2].
Tetramethyluric acid (2×10-2 M; 120 min) induces chromosomal aberrations in Vicia faba root tips[2].

In Vivo
Tetramethyluric acid (20 mg/kg; i.g.) improves cardiac function in ovariectomized mice with myocardial infarction by activating SIRT3 and reducing myocardial fibrosis and apoptosis[1].
Tetramethyluric acid (8-32 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) significantly inhibits Xylene-induced ear edema and λ-Carrageenan (HY-N9470)-induced hind paw edema[1].
Tetramethyluric acid (10-30 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 7 days) reduces hepatic inflammation and liver damage in restraint-stressed mice[1].
Tetramethyluric acid (12.5-25.0 mg/kg; p.o.) attenuates FIA-induced rheumatoid arthritis in SD rats via the TGF-β/SMAD pathway[1].
Tetramethyluric acid (24-48 mg/kg; i.p.; single pre-treatment dose) significantly attenuates adenosine receptor agonist-induced motor depression in Long Evans rats via adenosergic and dopaminergic systems[1].
Tetramethyluric acid (5-15 mg/kg; p.o.) reverses restraint stress-induced learning and memory impairment in male Kunming mice[1].
Tetramethyluric acid (3-30 mg/kg; i.g.) produces antidepressant effects in male NIH mice by modulating monoamine neurotransmitters[1].
Tetramethyluric acid (10-20 mg/kg; p.o.) ameliorates HFD-induced NAFLD in C57BL/6 mice via the SIRT3/LCAD signaling pathway[1].
