Product Data
Biological target:
Ditiocarb sodium (Sodium diethyldithiocarbamate) is an accelerator of the rate of copper cementation.
In vitro activity:
Cell cytotoxicity against 3T3 and RAW cell lines and evaluated by MTT, demonstrated that DETC (diethyldithiocarbamate) in high concentration (2222.00 µM) presents low toxicity. Yet, DETC causes mitochondrial damage in T. cruzi, as well as disruption in parasite membrane. DETC has antiparasitic activity against different genotypes and forms of T. cruzi, therefore, representing a promising molecule as a drug for the treatment of Chagas disease. Reference: Sci Rep. 2021 May 27;11(1):11200. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34045624/
In vivo activity:
In normal rabbits, DTC (diethyldithiocarbamate) did not change the number of neutrophils, but increased their phagocytic activity and ability to reduce NBT. In febrile rabbits, DTC depending on the dose, shortened the stimulating effect of LPS on neutrophil ability to reduce NBT but enhanced and prolonged the effect of pyrogen on neutrophil phagocytic activity. The rabbits treated with DTC prior to hypothermia exhibited shorter neutrophilia resulting from cold stress. In addition, DTC administered to the rabbits before their exposure to cold stress proved to be a partial or even total protection against the decrease in NBT reducing ability and phagocytic activity of blood neutrophils.
