Cat. No.: HY-W018026 Purity: 99.76%
SDS COA Handling Instructions Technical Support

Oxfenicine (L-p-Hydroxyphenylglycine) is an orally active carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 inhibitor. Oxfenicine inhibits the oxidation of fatty acids in the heart, protecting cardiac tissue from necrotic damage during ischemia, and also has an inhibitory effect on cardiac tissue apoptosis. In addition, Oxfenicine promotes lipolysis in a high-fat diet rat model. Oxfenicine can be used in the study of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

Description

Oxfenicine (L-p-Hydroxyphenylglycine) is an orally active carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 inhibitor. Oxfenicine inhibits the oxidation of fatty acids in the heart, protecting cardiac tissue from necrotic damage during ischemia, and also has an inhibitory effect on cardiac tissue apoptosis. In addition, Oxfenicine promotes lipolysis in a high-fat diet rat model. Oxfenicine can be used in the study of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases[1][2][3][4][5].

IC50 & Target

carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1[1]

In Vitro

Oxfenicine (1 mM, 2 hours) reduces fatty acid oxidation and glucose incorporation into lipids in subcutaneous and epididymal adipocytes[4].
Oxfenicine (10 mM, 24 hours) blunts carnitine plus palmitate-induced formation of apoptotic nuclei in chick embryonic ventricular cells[5].

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

Apoptosis Analysis[5]

Cell Line: Carnitine and Palmitate-induced chick embryonic ventricular cells (7-day-old chick embryos from white Leghorn eggs)
Concentration: 10 mM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Significantly reduced the formation of apoptotic cell nuclei.
In Vivo

Oxfenicine (150 mg/kg, i.p., once daily for 3 weeks) treatment significantly reduces adiposity in high-fat diet rats[4].

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

Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats fed a high-fat (HF) diet[4]
Dosage: 150 mg/kg
Administration: intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) once daily for 3 weeks
Result: Reduced whole-body fat oxidation, body weight, adiposity, and improved insulin sensitivity in HF-fed rats.

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.
