Tetradifon is a broad-spectrum organochlorine insecticide and an inhibitor of the mitochondrial oligomycin sensitivity conferring protein (OSCP), which can be used to control a variety of mites. Tetradifon inhibits energy-related activities such as ADP-stimulated respiration, DNP and Mg2+-stimulated ATPase, with an IC50 of 4.5-27 nmoL/mg mitochondrial protein. Tetradifon exerts oligomycin-like activity by inhibiting the oxidative phosphorylation process, inducing oxidative stress and interfering with bone metabolism. Tetradifon is currently mainly used in the research of mitochondrial function regulation, bone remodeling mechanism and nephrotoxicity of environmental pollutants.

Description

Tetradifon is a broad-spectrum organochlorine insecticide and an inhibitor of the mitochondrial oligomycin sensitivity conferring protein (OSCP), which can be used to control a variety of mites. Tetradifon inhibits energy-related activities such as ADP-stimulated respiration, DNP and Mg2+-stimulated ATPase, with an IC50 of 4.5-27 nmoL/mg mitochondrial protein. Tetradifon exerts oligomycin-like activity by inhibiting the oxidative phosphorylation process, inducing oxidative stress and interfering with bone metabolism. Tetradifon is currently mainly used in the research of mitochondrial function regulation, bone remodeling mechanism and nephrotoxicity of environmental pollutants[1][2][3][4][5].

IC50 & Target

Mite

 

In Vitro

Tetradifon has a biological mechanism similar to Oligomycin (HY-N6782) and can be reversed by DNP[1].

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

In Vivo

Tetradifon (24.3 mg/kg; oral, 90 days) causes increased trabecular thickness and elevated serum alkaline phosphatase in female rats, and induces glomerular sclerosis and renal interstitial fibrosis in rats[3].

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

Animal Model: Female Wistar rats (190 g, 8-9 weeks, n=12/group)[3]
Dosage: 2430 mg/kg cumulative (oral in drinking water, 90 days)
Administration: Daily oral gavage, 6 and 12 weeks
Result: At 12 weeks, increased creatinine/urea levels by 24%/43%, increased glomerular sclerosis rate to 22%, and increased interstitial fibrosis index by 200%.
Decreased renal SOD/GPx activities by 32%/17%, and decreased vitamin C content by 31%.

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

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.02 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
