Benzyl-α-GalNAc is a potent O-glycosylation inhibitor. Benzyl-α-GalNAc effectively inhibits the proliferation and activation of LX-2 cells and suppresses the expression of collagen I/III, which has good potential for investigation in liver fibrosis. Benzyl-α-GalNAc also significantly enhances the anti-tumour activity of 5-Fluorouracil (HY-90006) (e.g. pancreatic cancer) by inhibiting O-glycosylation.

    Description

    Benzyl-α-GalNAc is a potent O-glycosylation inhibitor. Benzyl-α-GalNAc effectively inhibits the proliferation and activation of LX-2 cells and suppresses the expression of collagen I/III, which has good potential for investigation in liver fibrosis. Benzyl-α-GalNAc also significantly enhances the anti-tumour activity of 5-Fluorouracil (HY-90006) (e.g. pancreatic cancer) by inhibiting O-glycosylation[1][2][3].

    IC50 & Target

    O-glycosylation[1][2][3].
    In Vitro

    Benzyl-α-GalNAc (5 mM; 72 h) inhibits O-glycosylation of mucin in SUIT-2 cells[1].
    Benzyl-α-GalNAc (2, 4 mM; 48 h) inhibits the proliferation and activation of LX-2 cells[2].
    Benzyl-α-GalNAc (2, 4 mM; 48 h) decreases collagen expression in LX-2 cells[2].

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

    Cell Viability Assay[1]

    Cell Line: SUIT-2 cells
    Concentration: 5 mM
    Incubation Time: 72 h
    Result: Inhibited mucin O-glycosylation.

    Cell Viability Assay[2]

    Cell Line: LX-2 cells
    Concentration: 2, 4 mM
    Incubation Time: 48 h
    Result: Remarkably decreased the expression of α-SMA in a dose-dependent manner (α-SMA is the marker for the activation of HSCs, which means that quiescent cells transform into myofibroblasts).

    Cell Proliferation Assay[2]

    Cell Line: LX-2 cells (PDGF-BB-induced)
    Concentration: 2, 4 mM
    Incubation Time: 48 h
    Result: Partly reversed PDGF-BB-induced proliferation in cells.

    Western Blot Analysis[2]

    Cell Line: LX-2 cells
    Concentration: 2, 4 mM
    Incubation Time: 48 h
    Result: Downregulated the mRNA levels of collagens I and III in a dose-dependent manner.
    In Vivo

    Benzyl-α-GalNAc (1 mg/mice; tumoural injection; single daily; days 4, 6, 8 and 10 after tumour size reaches 50-70 mm3) enhances the anti-tumour activity of 5-FU by inhibiting O-glycosylation in mice[3].

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

    Animal Model: Female severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice (6 to 8-week-old; capan-1 tumour model)[3].
    Dosage: 1 mg/mice (in combination with 5-FU)
    Administration: Tumoural injection; single daily; days 4, 6, 8 and 10 after tumour size reaches 50-70 mm3
    Result: Significantly lowered neoplastic cells compared to 5-FU alone.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
