| Description: |
Minerval (2-Hydroxyoleic acid) is a synthetic oleic acid (OA) derivative that binds to the plasma membrane and alters lipid organization. Minerval has anti-tumor effect[1]. |
| In Vivo: |
Minerval markedly and significantly inhibits tumour growth in nude mice infected with Jurkat cells[1]. Animal Model: 6-week-old nude male mice (Jurkat cells xenograft model)[1] Dosage: 600 mg/kg Administration: Oral administration; daily; for 21 days Result: Markedly and significantly inhibited tumour growth. |
| In Vitro: |
Minerval (25-75 μM; 72 hours) impairs Jurkat cell growth in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 of ~40 μM[1]. Minerval (25-50 μM; 72 hours) also induces a marked and concentration-dependent increase in the proteolytic cleavage of PARP, a molecular marker of apoptosis[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: Jurkat cells Concentration: 25 μM, 50 μM, 75 μM Incubation Time: 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours Result: Impaired Jurkat cell growth in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: Jurkat cells Concentration: 25 μM, 50 μM Incubation Time: 72 hours Result: Induced a marked and concentration-dependent increase in the proteolytic cleavage of PARP. |
