Description

C16-Ceramide is a natural small molecule activating p53 through the direct and selective binding[1].

IC50 & Target

p53[1], Apoptosis[2]

In Vitro

C16-Ceramide interacts with p53 within its core domain. p53 forms complex with natural C16-Ceramide in the cell[1].
C16-Ceramide (2.5-50 μM; 0-48 h) strongly decreased HCT116 cell viability in a time- and concentration-dependent manner[2].
C16-Ceramide (12 μM; 48 h) induces apoptosis through Btf (Bcl-2-associated transcription factor) in HCT116 cells[2].
C16-ceramide (12 μM; 0-6 h) and Btf expression up-regulate p53 and BAX expression. C16-ceramide down-regulates Mdm2 expression via Btf[2].

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

Cell Viability Assay[2]

Cell Line: HCT116 cells
Concentration: 2.5, 5, 10, 12, 20, 50 µM
Incubation Time: 0-48 h
Result: Strongly decreased cell viability in a time- and concentration-dependent manner.

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: HCT116 cells
Concentration: 12 μM
Incubation Time: 1, 3 and 6 h
Result: Increased PARP cleavage, decreased pro-caspase 3. Decreased the levels of stratifin and stathmin, increased the expression of prohibitin and Btf. RNAi-mediated Btf depletion also partially inhibited BAX expression after the treatment. Significantly decreased luciferase activity and Mdm2 protein expression levels.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% EtOH    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2 mg/mL (3.72 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (20.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
