COA Handling Instructions

Penicillamine (D-(-)-Penicillamine) is a penicillin metabolic degradation product, can be used as a heavy metal chelator. Penicillamine increases free copper and enhances oxidative stress. Penicillamine has effect of seizures through nitric oxide/NMDA pathways. Penicillamine is a potential immune modulator. Penicillamine can be used for the research of Wilson disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and cystinuria.

Description

Penicillamine (D-(-)-Penicillamine) is a penicillin metabolic degradation product, can be used as a heavy metal chelator. Penicillamine increases free copper and enhances oxidative stress. Penicillamine has effect of seizures through nitric oxide/NMDA pathways. Penicillamine is a potential immune modulator. Penicillamine can be used for the research of Wilson disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and cystinuria[1][2][3][4].

In Vitro

Penicillamine (D-(-)-Penicillamine) (5 mg; 7 d; CD4+ and CD+ splenocytes) promotes cellular immune responses[3].

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

Western Blot Analysis[3]

Cell Line: CD4+ and CD+ splenocytes
Concentration: 5 mg
Incubation Time: 7 days
Result: Increased IL-4 and IFN-γ mRNA expression in response to high dose treatment and remained high in both CD4+ and CD+ splenocytes.
In Vivo

Penicillamine (D-(-)-Penicillamine) (200 mg/kg; i.g.; daily, for 3, 10 and 14 d; tx mice and DL mice) increases serum free copper concentration[1].
Penicillamine (200 mg/kg; i.g.; daily, for 3, 10 and 14 d; tx mice and DL mice) increases ATP7A and CTR1 mRNA expression in the brain of tx mice[1].
Penicillamine (200 mg/kg; i.g.; daily, for 3, 10 and 14 d; tx mice and DL mice) induces oxidative-stress in the central nervous system[1].
Penicillamine (0.1-250 mg/kg; i.p.; once, for 90 min; male NMRI mice) has binaural phase effect on seizure[2].
Penicillamine (5 mg/kg; i.v.; daily, for 8 weeks; male BN rats) prevents the onset of autoimmunity at a low dose[3].

Animal Model: Toxic milk mutant mice (tx mice) and DL mice[1]
Dosage: 200 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage; daily, for 3, 10 and 14 days
Result: Increased the free copper concentrations in the tx mice serum on the 3rd day.
Animal Model: Toxic milk mutant mice (tx mice) and DL mice[1]
Dosage: 200 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage; daily, for 3, 10 and 14 days
Result: Increased the mRNA expression of ATP7A by 4-fold. Increased CTR1 mRNA expression by 6.9-fold in the cortex and 9.1-fold in the basal ganglia of tx mice.
Animal Model: Toxic milk mutant mice (tx mice) and DL mice[1]
Dosage: 200 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage; daily, for 3, 10 and 14 days
Result: Increased the concentration of MDA and decreased GSH/GSSG ratios through nitric oxide/NMDA pathways.
Animal Model: Male NMRI mice[2]
Dosage: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 10, 100, 150 and 250 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; once, for 90 minutes
Result: Had anticonvulsant effects at a low dose (0.5 mg/kg) and had anticonvulsant effects at a high dose (250 mg/kg). Reversed the anti- and proconvulsant effects by acute pretreatment of L-NAME (a nonselective nitric oxide synthase inhibitor) and 7-NI (a selective neuronal nitric oxide synthase inhibitor).
Animal Model: Male BN rats[3]
Dosage: 5 mg/kg
Administration: Intravenous injection; daily, for 8 weeks
Result: Inhibited IgE upregulation and prevented the onset of autoimmunity.

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.
