Cat. No.: HY-B0996 Purity: ≥98.0%
SDS COA Handling Instructions

Hexetidine (NSC-17764) is an orally active antibacterial and antifungal agent with broad antibacterial and antifungal activity. Hexetidine combined with IPBC potentiates strong fungal growth inhibition properties. Hexetidine at concentrations greater than 0.1% can cause oral ulceration. Additionally, Hexetidine improves its plaque inhibiting activities combined with zinc and has been confirmed the effectiveness on purulent wound along with ultrasound. Hexetidine is a promising candidate for research in fungus-related diseases and soft tissue purulent-inflammatory

Description

Hexetidine (NSC-17764) is an orally active antibacterial and antifungal agent with broad antibacterial and antifungal activity. Hexetidine combined with IPBC potentiates strong fungal growth inhibition properties. Hexetidine at concentrations greater than 0.1% can cause oral ulceration. Additionally, Hexetidine improves its plaque inhibiting activities combined with zinc and has been confirmed the effectiveness on purulent wound along with ultrasound. Hexetidine is a promising candidate for research in fungus-related diseases and soft tissue purulent-inflammatory[1][2][3][4][5]

In Vitro

Hexetidine (15 μM, 14 days) retains strong inhibition of T. virens growth after incorporation within the alginate gel combined with iodopropynyl-butyl-carbamate (IPBC) (250 μg/ml)[1].
Hexetidine (1 mg/ml, 2 h) exhibits the rates of kill similar for both S. aureus and Ps. aeruginosa with no detectable survivors in either growth phase within 2 h of contact[6].

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

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: Human Rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines
Concentration: 20 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Did not significantly potentiate the effect of IPBC combined with Trifluoperazine (TFZ) (HY-B0532) against the human rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines, suggesting that the combinatorial effects were specific to the fungi.​
In Vivo

Hexetidine (0.5 g, p.o., 15-19 days) shows significantly better effectiveness on a purulent wound of rats combined with photoditazine s than their isolated use[4].

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

Animal Model: Male Wistar rats with a purulent wound[4].
Dosage: 0.5 g
Administration: smeared for 15-19 days
Result: Showed significantly better results combined with photoditazine in the first and second phases of the course of the wound process than did their isolated use.

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% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.12 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.12 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

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.
