Magnesium sulfate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Magnesium sulfate is a calcium antagonist and a potent L-type calcium channel inhibitor, as well as a tocolytic. Magnesium sulfate has anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, vasodilatory, and neuroprotective effects. Magnesium sulfate can be used in the research of diseases such as preeclampsia/eclampsia.

Biological Activity
Magnesium sulfate (3 mM) inhibits phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate-specific phospholipase C activity and subsequent calcium release in cultured myometrial cells[2].
Magnesium sulfate (20 mM; 6 h) inhibits the LPS (HY-D1056)-induced inflammatory molecules production and NF-κB activation in RAW264.7 cells[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Cell Line:RAW264.7 cells treated with 100 ng/mL of LPS (HY-D1056)
-
Concentration:20 mM
-
Incubation Time:6 h
-
Result:Inhibtied the levels of iNOS and COX-2.
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:CD-1 out-bred timed pregnant mice, and intrauterine inflammation was induced by intrauterine injection of LPS (HY-D1056) on embryonic day 15[4]
-
Dosage:270 mg/kg, followed by 27 mg/kg every 20 minutes for 4 hours, and then an additional 270 mg/kg
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection
-
Result:Prevented LPS-induced neuronal injury in fetal mouse brains, as evidenced by maintaining normal neuronal morphology, including dendritic processes and MAP2 staining, without significantly affecting the expression of proinflammatory cytokines or cell death markers.
