    Description

    SC-26196 is a potent, orally active Delta6 desaturase (D6D, FADS2) inhibitor (IC50=0.2 μM in a rat liver microsomal assay). Antiinflammatory properties[1].

    IC50 & Target

    IC50: 0.2 µM (Delta6 desaturase in a rat liver microsomal assay)[1]

    In Vitro

    SC-26196 (200 nM) inhibits proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), but Not Jurkat Cells[2].

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

    Cell Proliferation Assay[2]

    Cell Line: PBMCs and Jurkat cells
    Concentration: 200 nM
    Incubation Time: 96 hours for PBMCs; 144 hours for Jurkat cells
    Result: Treatment of PBMCs significantly decreased the proportion of cells that underwent division, the division index and proliferation index.
    Did not alter cell proliferation significantly in Jurkat cells.
    In Vivo

    SC-26196 ( included in the diet at 0, 0.07, 0.21, or 0.7 mg/kg diet to achieve dosages of 0, 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg per day) causes a decrease in the calculated Δ6-desaturase index in both adipose tissue and liver. Feeding 100 mg SC-26196 per kg BW per day inhibits the Δ6-desaturase enzyme[3].

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

    Animal Model: Male mice (12- or 15-week-old)[3]
    Dosage: 0, 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg per day
    Administration: Included in the diet at 0, 0.07, 0.21, or 0.7mg/kg diet to achieve dosages of 0, 10, 30, and 100mg/kg per day.
    Result: Caused a decrease in the calculated Δ6-desaturase index in both adipose tissue and liver.

    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.
