Thiophanate-Methyl
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Thiophanate-Methyl is a pesticide residue and fungicide. Thiophanate-Methyl induces hepatotoxicity via caspase-3-mediated apoptosis and oxidative stress, thereby causing metabolic imbalance in the liver of zebrafish. Thiophanate-Methyl impairs the rhizobacteria-mediated defense response of cucumber against fusarium wilt.

Biological Activity
Thiophanate-methyl (2-6 mg/L; water exposure; daily 75% solution changes; 28 days) induces severe, concentration-dependent hepatotoxicity in adult Danio rerio, leading to disrupted glucose and lipid metabolism, with dose-specific alterations to liver glycogen content[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

-
Dosage:6.25 mg/L; 12.5 mg/L; 25 mg/L

Result:Determined 24 h median lethal concentration (LC50) as 57.45 mg/L; 48 h and 72 h LC50 values as 50.45 mg/L.
Significantly reduced liver proportion (area) and caused absent swim bladders at 12.5 and 25 mg/L; showed no effect on liver proportion at 6.25 mg/L.
Induced impaired liver morphology, loss of cell-to-cell contact, and vacuolization with increasing severity at 12.5 and 25 mg/L.
Significantly increased caspase-3 protein and mRNA expression at 12.5 and 25 mg/L; significantly elevated mRNA levels of Bax/Bcl2, p53, and TNF-α in a concentration-dependent manner.
Significantly increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) content, catalase (CAT) activity, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity at 12.5 and 25 mg/L; increased CAT activity only at 6.25 mg/L.
Significantly reduced liver glycogen content (with uneven distribution) and reduced liver lipid content in a concentration-dependent manner at 12.5 and 25 mg/L.
Showed no significant effects on liver cell proliferation (measured via PCNA staining) or bile duct system.
-
Animal Model:wild-type (AB) adults (3 months old)[1]
-
Dosage:2 mg/L; 4 mg/L; 6 mg/L
-
Administration:water exposure; daily 75% solution changes; 28 days
-
Result:Induced impaired liver morphology, loss of cell-to-cell contact, vacuolization, and (at 6 mg/L) nuclear malformation or pyknosis, with severity increasing with dose.
Reduced and clustered liver glycogen content at 2 and 4 mg/L; increased glycogen content in some areas with other regions showing no glycogen at 6 mg/L.
Significantly increased liver lipid content in a concentration-dependent manner, with distinct lipid deposits visible at 6 mg/L.
Significantly increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), and cytoplasmic isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDHC) activities in a concentration-dependent manner.
Significantly reduced triglyceride (TG) content and significantly increased total cholesterol (TC) content in a concentration-dependent manner.
Significantly reduced total bilirubin (TBil) content and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT) activity at 2, 4, and 6 mg/L.

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (14.60 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
