Description

Vitamin U (S-Methylmethionine sulfonium) chloride is an orally active anti-ulcer agent with antioxidant activity. Vitamin U inhibits adipocyte differentiation. Vitamin U promotes skin wound healing.Vitamin U can be used in the research of gastrointestinal ulceration[1][2][3][4][5].

In Vitro

Vitamin U chloride (100 μM, 24 h) promotes the growth and migration of human dermal fibroblasts(hDFs)[1].
Vitamin U chloride (0-1 mM, 24 h) activates ERK1/2 in hDFs[1].
Vitamin U chloride (0.1 g/L in the nutrient solution) reduces cell membrane damage in higher plants exposed to low-temperature stress[2].
Vitamin U chloride (10-100 mM, 7 days) inhibits adipocyte differentiation via down-regulation of adipogenic factors and up-regulation of AMPK activity[3].

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

Cell Proliferation Assay[1]

Cell Line: Human dermal fibroblasts(hDFs)
Concentration: 100 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Promoted hDFs proliferation.

Western Blot Analysis[3]

Cell Line: 3T3-L1 cells
Concentration: 50, 70, 90 mM
Incubation Time: 7 days
Result: Increased AMPK phosphorylation and decreased PPAR-γ levels.
In Vivo

Vitamin U chloride (50 mg/kg, oral gavage) prevents valproic acid-induced liver injury in rats[4].
Vitamin U chloride (50 mg/kg, oral gavage for 3 days) shows antioxidant effect and prevents GalN-induced gastric damage in rats[5].

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

Animal Model: Valproic acid (VPA)-induced rats with liver damage[4]
Dosage: 50 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage
Result: Blocked the decrease in catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities.
Increased in the levels of IL-1β, active caspase-3, and cytoplasmic cytochrome c.
Increased in the number of proliferating cells nuclear antigen (PCNA) positive hepatocytes.

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.
