  3. Prothioconazole

Prothioconazole is an orally active broad-spectrum fungicide. Prothioconazole weakly inhibits CaCYP51 activity in Candida albicans, with an apparent IC50 of approximately 120 μM. Prothioconazole disrupts Microtubule stability by reducing the acetylation level of α-tubulin. Prothioconazole induces Mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and Apoptosis. Prothioconazole accumulates 14-methylated sterols and depletes ergosterol in cells, culture media, plants, and animals. Prothioconazole interferes with pyruvate metabolism and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis processes in mouse liver, downregulates Fasn mRNA expression, and induces hepatotoxicity and renal metabolic disorders. Prothioconazole reduces the fertility of female mice. Prothioconazole inhibits body weight gain and increases liver/kidney indices in mice. Prothioconazole can be used in studies related to candidiasis.

IC50 & Target[1]

CYP51

 

In Vitro

Prothioconazole shows weak binding affinity to purified *Candida albicans* CaCYP51, with an apparent dissociation constant Kd of 6.3 μM. It generates a type I difference spectrum instead of the typical type II difference spectrum produced by azole antifungal agents[1].
Prothioconazole (100 μM) competitively inhibits the binding of Lanosterol (HY-W020033) to purified *Candida albicans* CaCYP51, increasing the apparent Ks of Lanosterol by 2.5-fold to 62.2 μM[1].
Prothioconazole (0-100 μM) weakly inhibits CaCYP51 activity of Candida albicans in a cell-free system, with an apparent IC50 of approximately 120 μM, and only achieves an inhibition rate of 45% at a concentration of 100 μM[1].

In Vivo

Prothioconazole (10 mg/kg/day; p.o.; daily; 30 days) exposure in female mice induces reproductive toxicity by disrupting oocyte maturation, fertilization, and early embryo development via mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and apoptosis, reducing offspring numbers by ~34%[2].
Prothioconazole (1-5 mg/kg BW/day; p.o.; daily; 28 days) administration to male ICR mice causes dose-dependent oxidative stress, metabolic disruption, and reduced growth phenotypes, with more severe effects observed in liver tissue compared to kidney tissue[3].
Prothioconazole (1-5 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 30 days) induces dose-dependent liver metabolic dysfunction and hepatotoxicity in female ICR mice, disrupting glycolipid metabolism via changes in key gene expression, metabolite levels, and liver histology[4].

In Vivo:

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.

  • Protocol 1

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.
