Product Data
Biological target:
Monocrotophos is an organophosphate insecticide that blocks monoamine oxidase and acetylcholinesterase.
In vitro activity:
The conditioned medium (CM) of differentiated PC12 cells comprising of their secretome restored the cell viability, oxidative stress and apoptotic cell death in MCP (monocrotophos)-challenged human mesenchymal stem cells and SHSY-5Y, a human neuroblastoma cell line. Besides that, the increased mitochondrial fission in MCP-exposed cells was balanced with increased fusion in the presence of CM facilitated by AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling cascade. Reference: Neuromolecular Med. 2018 Jun;20(2):233-251. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29603067/
In vivo activity:
Male Wistar rats were given NAC (N-acetylcysteine) (200 mg/kg b.wt), MCP (monocrotophos) (0.9 mg/kg b.wt) and NAC together with MCP, intragastrically for 28 consecutive days. Mitochondrial complexes activities were evaluated using biochemical analysis. Exposure of MCP (0.9 mg/kg b.wt, intragastrically, 28 d) decreased mitochondrial complexes activities and gene expression of complexes subunits.
