    Description

    Oxamic acid is a lactate dehydrogenase-A (LDH-A) inhibitor. Oxamic acid shows anti-tumor activity, and anti-proliferative activity against cancer cells, and can induce apoptosis[1][2][3].

    In Vitro

    Oxamic acid suppresses the proliferation, migration and invasion of both A2780 and SKOV3 cells[1].
    Oxamic acid (10 μM; 24-72 h) inhibits cell proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner in both NPC cancer cells[2].
    Oxamic acid (0-100 mM; 24 h) induces cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase in CNE-1 and CNE-2 cells[2].
    Oxamic acid (0-100 mM; 48 h) induces apoptosis via caspase-3 activation and the mitochondrial pathway in NPC cells[2].
    Oxamic acid (0-100 mM; 24 h) increases ROS levels in NPC cells[2].

    Apoptosis Analysis[2]

    Cell Line: CNE-1 and CNE-2 cells
    Concentration: 0, 20, 50 and 100 mM
    Incubation Time: 48 hours
    Result: Showed the increasement of early and late apoptotic cells in a dose-dependent manner.
    Increased the expression of pro-apoptotic Bax and cleaved-caspase-3, while reduced the anti-apoptotic signals of Bcl-2 and pro-caspase-3.

    Cell Cycle Analysis[2]

    Cell Line: CNE-1 and CNE-2 cells
    Concentration: 0, 20, 50 and 100 mM
    Incubation Time: 24 hours
    Result: Showed a dose-dependent increase in the numbers of CNE-1 and CNE-2 cells in the G2/M phase.
    In Vivo

    Oxamic acid (intraperitoneal injection; 750 mg/kg; once daily; 3 w) treatment improves the efficacy of tumor inhibition in vivo when combined with irradiation treatment[2].

    Animal Model: Female Balb/c nude mice injected with CNE-1 cells[2]
    Dosage: 750 mg/kg
    Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; 750 mg/kg; once daily; 3 weeks

    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.
