Perfluorononanoic acid  (Synonyms: PFNA; Heptadecafluorononanoic acid)

Cat. No.: HY-W203683 Purity: 99.9%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) is an orally active PPARα activator. Perfluorononanoic acid activates PPARα-mediated gene expression, including upregulating target genes associated with lipid metabolism and triglyceride storage. Perfluorononanoic acid exhibits certain developmental and reproductive toxicity. Perfluorononanoic acid causes hepatomegaly in pregnant mice, induces high postnatal mortality in neonatal mice, and leads to dose-dependent delays in eye-opening time and puberty onset in mouse offspring.

Description

Perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) is an orally active PPARα activator. Perfluorononanoic acid activates PPARα-mediated gene expression, including upregulating target genes associated with lipid metabolism and triglyceride storage. Perfluorononanoic acid exhibits certain developmental and reproductive toxicity. Perfluorononanoic acid causes hepatomegaly in pregnant mice, induces high postnatal mortality in neonatal mice, and leads to dose-dependent delays in eye-opening time and puberty onset in mouse offspring[1][2].

PPARα

 

In Vitro

Perfluorononanoic acid (6.25-400 µM; 6-72 h) reduces the viability of differentiated human HepaRG hepatocytes in a concentration- and time-dependent manner[1].
Perfluorononanoic acid (25-200 µM; 24 h) increases intracellular triglyceride levels in differentiated human HepaRG hepatocytes, with a BMC50 of 92 µM, and does not significantly alter intracellular cholesterol levels after 24 h of exposure[1].
Perfluorononanoic acid (100 µM; 24 h) alters the expression of 1024 genes in differentiated human HepaRG hepatocytes, induces pathways associated with tRNA aminoacylation, amino acid transport, and endoplasmic reticulum stress (the PERK/ATF4 signaling pathway), and simultaneously suppresses the cholesterol biosynthesis and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathways[1].
Perfluorononanoic acid (12.5-200 µM; 24 h) regulates gene expression in differentiated human HepaRG hepatocytes in a concentration-dependent manner, upregulating PPARα target genes and downregulating ADH4 and cholesterol biosynthesis-related genes[1].

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: differentiated human HepaRG liver cells
Concentration: 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 µM
Incubation Time: 6 h, 24 h, 72 h
Result: Reduced viability obviously at 400 µM (6, 24, 72 h), 200 (24, 72 h).

Real Time qPCR[1]

Cell Line: differentiated human HepaRG liver cells
Concentration: 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200 µM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Caused concentration-dependent increases in expression of PPARα target genes: ANGPTL4 (100, 200 µM), PDK4 (50, 100, 200 µM), PLIN2 (50, 100, 200 µM), and PLIN4 (100 µM), with no significant effect on CPT1A.
Caused concentration-dependent decreases in expression of ADH4 (25, 50, 100, 200 µM) and cholesterogenic genes LSS (12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200 µM), FDPS (25, 50, 100, 200 µM), HMGCR (25, 50, 100, 200 µM), EBP (100, 200 µM), IDI1 (100, 200 µM), and ACAT2 (100, 200 µM).
In Vivo

Perfluorononanoic acid (1-10 mg/kg; oral gavage; gestational days 1-17) causes maternal hepatomegaly, complete fetal resorption at high doses, high postnatal mortality and growth retardation in offspring, and activates hepatic PPARα target genes in CD-1 pregnant mice[2].

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

Animal Model: CD-1 mice (female timed-pregnant; male and female offspring)[2]
Dosage: 1 mg/kg; 3 mg/kg; 5 mg/kg; 10 mg/kg
Administration: oral gavage; daily; gestational day 1-17
Result: Led to maternal weight loss and full litter resorption (10 mg/kg dose).
Induced dose‑dependent maternal and fetal hepatomegaly without affecting implantation or fetal viability (doses ≤5 mg/kg).
Caused 80% neonatal death within postnatal day 10 (5 mg/kg).
Activated PPARα, CAR, and PXR target genes in fetal and neonatal livers, and its accumulation persisted in tissues long after exposure, and surviving offspring showed delayed eye opening and puberty onset.

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.
