In Vitro

Chloranil (20 μM; 12-24 h) induces ferroptosis in PC12 cells[1].
Chloranil (0-50 μM; 24 h) induces apoptosis in mouse embryonic stem cells in a dose-dependent manner[2].
Chloranil (10 μM; 1.5-3 h) induces neutrophil extracellular traps by ROS-JNK-NOX2 signaling pathway in mouse neutrophils[3].
Chloranil (25 μM; 6 h) decreases the viability of PC12 cells, increases the expression and interaction of TLR4 and MyD88, and up-regulates the expression and interaction of CD14 and MD2[4].
Chloranil (25 μM; 6 h) stimulates the expression of inflammatory factors and activates MAPK signaling pathway in PC12 cells[4].

Western Blot Analysis[3]

Cell Line: Mouse neutrophil
Concentration: 10 μM
Incubation Time: 1.5 h
Result: Significantly increased the phosphorylation level of JNK.
Increased the level of NOX2.

Western Blot Analysis[4]

Cell Line: PC12 cells
Concentration: 25 μM
Incubation Time: 6 h
Result: Enhanced the expression levels of TLR4 and MyD88.
Enhanced the expression levels of CD14 and MD2.
Enhanced the expression levels of TNF-a, IL-1β and IL-6.
Enhanced the expression levels of c-fos, c-jun and AP-1.
Increased the phosphorylation levels of p38, JNK and ERK.
In Vivo

Chloranil (10 mg/kg; Oral administration; 2 weeks) induces nerve damage in mice[4].
Chloranil (1 mg/kg; Intraperitoneal injection; 3 days) has a strong hepatotoxic effect in mice, but can be alleviated by chlorogenic acid (HY-N0055)[5].

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

Animal Model: Male C57BL/6 TLR4 wild-type mice (5-8 weeks old)[4]
Dosage: 10 mg/kg
Administration: Oral administration (p.o.); 2 weeks
Result: Caused severe coagulation necrosis, nuclear pyknosis, anachromasis and shrunken neuronal bodies in both cortical and the hippocampus region.
Caused cortical damage.
Decreased NeuN-positive neurons and increased highly activated microglia in cortex.
Animal Model: Male Kunming mice (22 ± 2 g)[5]
Dosage: 1 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.); 3 days
Result: Caused marked liver cell necrosis and inflammation but not apoptosis, and this damage was alleviated by Chlorogenic acid (HY-N0055).
Enhanced serum ALT, AST activities, TBIL content, hepatic oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, decreased GSH content and inhibited the activities of antioxidant enzymes.
Up-regulated HO-1 and NQO1 expression.

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.
