Probenecid (0.001-100000 μM; 1-24 h) sodium potently inhibits the replication of Anhui/1-H7N9 in NHBE/A549 cells[1].
Probenecid (0.001-100000 μM; 1-24 h) sodium potently inhibits the replication of VN/1203-H5N1 in VeroE6 cells, with an IC50 of 0.00003 μM under the condition of 24 h prophylactic treatment and an IC50 of 0.001 μM under the condition of treatment at 1 hour post-infection[1].
Probenecid sodium inhibits the entry of aristolochic acid into proximal tubular cell lines via human organic anion transporters (OATs) and preserves cell viability[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Probenecid (150 mg/kg; i.p.; twice daily; up to 8 days) sodium exerts renoprotective effects in a mouse model of aristolochic acid nephropathy, prevents acute kidney injury, alleviates tubulointerstitial injury and DNA repair/proliferation responses, and reduces the levels of advanced aristolochic acid-DNA adducts[2].
Probenecid (250 mg/kg, i.p., once daily for 20 consecutive days) sodium inhibits symptom progression in mice with autoimmune encephalomyelitis[3].
Probenecid (1 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; twice) sodium significantly reduces cerebral infarction volume and improves neurological function in a mouse model of focal cerebral ischemia[4].
