Nifurpirinol
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Nifurpirinol (P-7138) is a selective prosubstrate of bacterial nitroreductase (NTR). NTR catalyzes the reduction of nifurpirinol to generate cytotoxic metabolites that induce apoptosis in target cells. Nifurpirinol selectively ablates NTR-expressing cells such as pancreatic β cells, osteoblasts, dopaminergic neurons, and podocytes in transgenic zebrafish models. Nifurpirinol can be used in regeneration studies and disease modeling such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).

Biological Activity
IC50: bacterial nitroreductase (NTR) enzyme[1]
Nifurpirinol (50 nM; bathing; continuous 24-48 h) induces focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)-like injury in ScreeFi strain zebrafish larvae, characterized by podocyte loss, proteinuria (eGFP leakage), thickening of the glomerular basement membrane and activation of parietal epithelial cells[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model:Transgenic zebrafish larvae (Tg(osx:mCherry-NTR), male/female, 3-4 dpf) with osteoblast ablation model[1]
-
Dosage:5 μM (E3 medium with 0.2% DMSO)
-
Administration:Bath treatment, 24 h
-
Result:Led to complete osteoblast ablation, with only cell debris and mCherry-positive macrophages detected in skeletal structures (cleitrum, dento-maxilar, opercular), compared to intact osteoblasts in controls.

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : ≥ 20.83 mg/mL (84.60 mM; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
* "≥" means soluble, but saturation unknown.
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 1 mg/mL (4.06 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (10.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
