Description

Meglumine (Methylglucamine) (Excipient) is an orally active amino sugar derived from sorbitol. Meglumine (Excipient) has anti-inflammatory and antitumor activity. Meglumine (Excipient) is often used as an excipient in active molecules and with iodinated compounds in contrast agents such as meglumine and meglumine iodide[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Meglumine (Excipient) (40 or 80 mM, 24 h; 50 mM, 24 h) dose-dependently reduces the levels of inflammatory factors in THP-1 human myeloid cells and RAW264.7 mouse macrophage cells (Elisa assay)[2].
Meglumine (Excipient) (0-300 mM, 60 min) dose-dependently increases SNARK expression levels in C2C12 mouse myoblasts[4].

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

Western Blot Analysis[4]

Cell Line: C2C12 mouse myoblasts
Concentration: 0, 10, 30, 100, 300 mM or 200 mM
Incubation Time: 60 min or 0, 10, 30, 60, 120 min
Result: Increased the levels of SNARK protein in a dose-dependent manner after 60 min and reached a plateau at 30 minutes.
In Vivo

Meglumine (Excipient) (25 or 50 mM; 37.5 mM, taken orally dissolved in water) reduces levels of inflammatory factors and inhibits skin cancer tumor growth in rats and mice[2].
Meglumine (Excipient) (18 mM, oral gavage) improves muscle function, limits metabolic syndrome, and reduces diabetic complications in type 2 diabetic mice[4].

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

Animal Model: Sprague-Dawley rat[2]
Dosage: 25 or 50 mM
Administration: p.o., dissolve in water
Result: Reduced the isoprostane levels in rats.
Animal Model: K6/ODC transgenic mice[2]

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.
