Handling Instructions Technical Support

Triacsin C (WS 1228A), is an orally active and intracellular long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases (ACSL) inhibitor, which can be isolated from Streptomyces aureofaciens. Triacsin C inhibits TAG accumulation into lipid droplets (LD) by suppressing ACSL activity. Triacsin C exhibits highly inhibitory effect against rotavirus replication.

    Description

    Triacsin C (WS 1228A), is an orally active and intracellular long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases (ACSL) inhibitor, which can be isolated from Streptomyces aureofaciens. Triacsin C inhibits TAG accumulation into lipid droplets (LD) by suppressing ACSL activity[1]. Triacsin C exhibits highly inhibitory effect against rotavirus replication[2].

    In Vitro

    Triacsin C (0-16 μM; 41 h) inhibits parasite fatty acyl-coenzyme A synthetases, and reduces CpACS1 and CpACS2 enzymes activities with IC50s of 3.70 μM and 2.32 μM, respectively, with Ki values of 595 nM and 106 nM, respectively[3].
    Triacsin C (0-16 μM; 41 h) shows anti-parasitic and inhibits Cryptosporidium parvum with an IC50 value of 136 nM[3].
    Triacsin C (0, 0.25, 0.5 μM; 30 min) has no effect on parasite invasion[3].

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

    In Vivo

    Triacsin C (8-15 mg/kg/d; p.o.; 1 week) shows anticryptosporidial efficacy and improves Cryptosporidium parvum infection by targeting parasite fatty acyl-coenzyme A synthetases[3].
    Triacsin C (10 mg/kg/d; p.o.; 2 months) exhibits anti-atherosclerotic activity in aortic atherosclerosis LDLR-/- mice[4].

    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.
