Zinc acetate, 99.99% trace metals basis
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Zinc (Zinc (II)) acetate, 99.99% trace metals basis is a heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) activator and apoptosis inducer with cytotoxic and anticancer activities. Zinc acetate, 99.99% trace metals basis enhances HO-1 expression, alters the microRNA profile, and increases the level of caspase-cleaved cytokeratin 18. Zinc acetate, 99.99% trace metals basis also regulates the expression of Cdk2/cyclin E and interferes with cell cycle progression. Zinc acetate, 99.99% trace metals basis effectively inhibits cancer cell proliferation and induces their rapid death, with no significant cytotoxicity to non-tumor tissues. Zinc acetate, 99.99% trace metals basis has been widely used in studies related to hepatocellular carcinoma, prostate cancer, and other conditions.

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Cell Line:PC3, DU145, LNCaP
-
Concentration:100-800 μM
-
Incubation Time:4-24 h; 18 h; duration not specified (prolonged exposure)
-
Result:Induced dose-dependent cytotoxicity across all three cell lines.
Killed ~80% of the cell population at 300-400 μM within 18 hours.
Caused 50% cell death by 6 hours and >95% cell death by 24 hours at 400 μM across all cell lines.
Reduced the EC50 by approximately 90 minutes when dose was doubled to 800 μM.
Halted cellular proliferation with prolonged exposure to 100 μM, with the number of cells remaining constant over time.

-
Animal Model:NOD/SCID mice with Prostate cancer (8-week-old male; subcutaneous xenograft model)[2]
-
Dosage:3 mM
-
Administration:i.t.; every 48 hours; 14 days
-
Result:Halted aggressive growth of PC3 xenografts, with growth arrest persisting after treatment termination on day 14.
Reached a tumor volume of ~1000 mm3 by day 20, compared to ~2250 mm3 in control tumors, with statistically significant differences observed from day 16 onward.
Increased zinc levels within tumor xenografts substantially, with no significant accumulation in brain, heart, kidney, or liver tissue.
Showed no tissue toxicity via post-mortem histological analysis, and caused no animal deaths during the treatment protocol.
Maintained 80% of treated mice alive 8 weeks after treatment initiation, while all control mice succumbed to tumor burden within the same period, with statistically significant difference.
