Xanthopterin, an unconjugated pteridine compound, is the main component of the yellow granule in the Oriental hornet bear wings, produces a characteristic excitation/emission maximum at 386/456 nm. Xanthopterin (XPT) causes renal growth and hypertrophy in rat. Xanthopterin inhibits RNA synthesis.

At equivalent molar concentrations, both the salt and free forms of a compound exhibit comparable biological activity. Nevertheless, the salt form (Xanthopterin hydrate) usually boasts enhanced water solubility and stability.

Description

Xanthopterin, an unconjugated pteridine compound, is the main component of the yellow granule in the Oriental hornet bear wings, produces a characteristic excitation/emission maximum at 386/456 nm[2]. Xanthopterin (XPT) causes renal growth and hypertrophy in rat[1]. Xanthopterin inhibits RNA synthesis[4].

In Vitro

Xanthopterin (7.8-250 mM; 24 hours) show a significant reduction in mitochondrial activity with respect to controls (IC50=109 mM)[2].

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

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.
