Descripciòn

Methylnitronitrosoguanidine (MNNG) is an orally active alkylating agent with toxic and mutagenic effects. Methylnitronitrosoguanidine can as a carcinogen and mutagen^[1]^[2]. 50% water content, specifications are based on dry weight.

In Vitro

Methylnitronitrosoguanidine (MNNG, 0-1100 nM; 24 h) has toxic and mutagenic effects among 3 human diploid lymphoblast lines, MIT-2, WI-L2, and GM 130^[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Further protocols information, click here.

In Vivo

Animal Model:

Male Wistar albino rats^[2]
Dosage:

200 mg/kg
Administration:

Oral administration, at 0 and 14th days
Result:

Had the incidence of gastric cancer in Wistar albino rats is 100%.

Induced Disease Models

Note:
Please do not refer to only one article to determine the experimental conditions. It is recommended to determine the optimal experimental conditions (animal strain, age, dosage, frequency and cycle, detection time and indicators, etc.) through preliminary experiments before the formal experiment.

Methylnitronitrosoguanidine (MNNG) is an alkylating agent that can be used to induce models of chronic atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer. In complete medium, the half-life of MNNG is approximately 70 minutes^[3].

Induction of chronic atrophic gastritis^[4]

Background

MNNG mainly simulates the transformation of nitrate into nitrosamine and other carcinogens in the stomach, which leads to chronic atrophic gastritis, dysplasia and even gastric carcinoma.

Specific Modeling Methods

Rat: Sprague-Dawley (SD) • male • 200 ~ 220 g (period: 10 weeks)
Administration: fed with pure water containing 170 μg/ml MNNG for 10 weeks

Note

(1) Pure water containing 170 μg/ml MNNG is stored in black bottles and refreshed every day since MNNG is not stable in solvent.

Modeling Indicators

Histopathological changes : Gastric mucosa pathological changes detected by HE staining.

Opposite Product(s): HY-N0103

Induction of gastric carcinoma^[5]

Background

MNNG is an alkylating agent, and its carcinogenicity is mainly due to its ability to covalently bond with the bases in DNA molecules to form alkylation products. This alkylation alters the way DNA is normally constructed and replicated, which leads to mutations in cells that can then develop into cancer.

Specific Modeling Methods

Rat: Wistar • male • 17w (period: 2 weeks)
Administration: 200 mg/kg • po • once daily for 2 weeks

Note

(1) Rats were given MNNG for 2 weeks followed by oral administration of NaCl (1 mL/rat) once every 3 days for 4 weeks.
(2) After 33 weeks, animals were allowed to fast and then were killed.

Modeling Indicators

Histopathological changes : Gastric mucosa pathological changes detected by HE staining.

Protocolo

All Animals and Diseases

Genotoxicity/Mutagenicity Study
The bacterial reverse mutation assay detects point mutations that restore amino-acid prototrophy in auxotrophic Salmonella typhimurium or Escherichia coli tester strains; after exposure to a test article, mutagenic activity is read out as an increased number of revertant colonies on minimal agar compared with the vehicle control. The assay uses tester strains with different mutation targets so that base-substitution and frameshift mutagens can be detected, and testing is performed with and without exogenous mammalian metabolic activation because some chemicals require biotransformation to become mutagenic.

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.
