Description

IC₅₀ & Target^[1]

eel AChE

2.19 mM (Ki)

In Vitro

(-)-Carvone (3.04 mM; 30 min) inactivates eel AChE with K_i value of 2.19 mM^[1].

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

In Vivo

(-)-Carvone (5% in absolute ethanol v/v, 20 μL; application to the thoraces ventral surfaces) inhibits AChE such as horse serum cholinesterase, house fly head cholinesterases, and head and thorax cholinesterases from the Madagascar roach in vitro^[1].
(-)-Carvone (0.05%-0.1% w/v; p.o.; 7 d) inhibits E. insulana larvae growth, decreases weight of larvae^[2].

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

Animal Model:	Female roaches (Gromphadorhina portentosa) (6.4 g-6.8 g)^[1]
Dosage:	5% in absolute ethanol v/v, 20 μL
Administration:	Application to the ventral surfaces of their thoraces; decapitated and crude at various time intervals (0, 2, 4, 5, 20, 24, and 26 hr)
Result:	Inhibited the activity of AChE in the extracts of both the head and thorax.

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.
