Phytic acid  (Synonyms: Inositol hexaphosphate; SNF472 free acid)

Cat. No.: HY-N0814 Purity: ≥95.0%
COA Handling Instructions

Phytic acid (Inositol hexaphosphate) is a phosphorus storage compound of seeds and cereal grains. Phytic acid is known as a food inhibitor, which has a strong ability to chelate multivalent metal ions, specially zinc, calcium, iron and as with protein residue. Phytic acid inhibits the enzymatic superoxide source xanthine oxidase (XO), and has antioxidative, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory effects.

Description

Phytic acid (Inositol hexaphosphate) is a phosphorus storage compound of seeds and cereal grains. Phytic acid is known as a food inhibitor, which has a strong ability to chelate multivalent metal ions, specially zinc, calcium, iron and as with protein residue. Phytic acid inhibits the enzymatic superoxide source xanthine oxidase (XO), and has antioxidative, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory effects[1][2][3][4].

IC50 & Target

Xanthine oxidase[3]

In Vitro

Phytic acid (myo-Inositol) inhibits the formation of uric acid from xanthine with an IC50 of about 30 mM. The generation of the superoxide is greatly affected by phytic acid; the IC50 is about 6 mM, indicating that the superoxide generating domain of XO is more sensitive to phytic acid[3].

Animal Administration
[4]

Mice: MPTP (20 mg/kg/day, i.p.) is administrated for 5 days and animals are killed at 7 days later. Phytic acid (30 mg/kg/day, i.p.) or normalsaline is injected 4 days before MPTP administration and con-tinued until mice are killed, reaching a total treatment period of16 days[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.
