Pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate ammonium (Ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate) 是一种选择性和血脑屏障 (BBB) 可渗透的 NF-κB 抑制剂。
Cell experiment: | The human colon cancer cell line HT-29 is obtained and cells are grown in modified McCoy’s 5A medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. To study the effect of pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate ammonium on IL-8 production, HT-29 cells in 96-well plates are induced with 20 ng/mL of IL-1β for 18 h. Various concentrations (3-1000 μM) of pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate or its vehicle (culture medium) are added to the cells 30 min prior to IL-1β stimulation. The concentration of IL-8 in the supernatant is determined using solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay[1]. |
Animal experiment: | Animal Administration: [2]Pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate is administered intraperitoneally to mice at dose levels of 100 and 50 mg/kg. Mice are divided into a DSS-untreated group (normal group), DSS-treated control group, DSS+pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate-treated groupI (low-dose group), and DSS+pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate-treated groupII (high-dose group). In each group, the disease activity index score (DAI score), intestinal length, histological score, and the levels of activated NF-κB and inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and TNF-α) in tissue are measured[2]. |
产品描述 | Pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate ammonium is a selective NF-κB inhibitor. Pretreatment of cells with pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (3-1000 μM) dose-dependently attenuate IL-8 production. Furthermore, pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (100 μM) suppresses the accumulation of IL-8 mRNA. Pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate inhibits the activation of NF-κB, because pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate suppresses both NF-κB DNA binding and NF-κB-dependent transcriptional activity. NF-κB inhibition with pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate decrease IL-8 production by intestinal epithelial cells[1]. The DSS+pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate ammonium-treated groupII exhibits suppression of shortening of intestinal length and reduction of DAI score. Activated NF-κB level and IL-1β and TNF-α levels are significantly lower in DSS+pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate ammonium-treated groupII. These findings suggest that suppression of NF-κB activity by pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate ammonium can delay the healing of mucosal tissue defects (erosions or ulcers) arising from inflammation, but that it can strongly suppress the expression of inf-lammatory cytokines (IL-1β and TNF-α), resulting in significant alleviation of colitis. pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate ammonium is useful for the treatment of ulcerative colitis[2].
