| Targets |
Endogenous Metabolite[1], TNFR1[2].
Lacto-N-neotetraose targets inflammatory pathways in epithelial cells. It inhibits TNF-α induced IL-8 secretion in immature epithelial cells, demonstrating anti-inflammatory activity. LNnT also aids in wound healing. As a human milk oligosaccharide, it plays a role in modulating the infant gut microbiome and immune development. Oral supplementation of LNnT is used in infant formula to mimic the beneficial effects of breast milk. |

| ln Vitro |
T84 cells secrete IL-8 when exposed to 5 mg/mL of lacto-N-neotetraose for 24 hours[2]. In FHs 74 Int cells, lacto-N-neotetraose (5 mg/mL, 24 h) decreases TNF-α-induced IL-8-secretion by 38%[2]. With a Kd value of 900 ± 660 nM, lacto-N-neotetraose binds tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1)[2]. Lacto-N-neotetraose (5 mg/mL, 24 h) reduces inflammation caused by TNF-α in FHs 74 Int cells by shedding the TNFR1 ectodomain[2].
In vitro, Lacto-N-neotetraose inhibits TNF-α induced IL-8 secretion in immature epithelial cells. It has anti-inflammatory activity and can improve wound closure. As an endogenous metabolite, LNnT modulates inflammatory responses in epithelial cells. These in vitro activities support its use in studying inflammation, wound healing, and epithelial cell biology. |
| ln Vivo |
In the lungs of pneumonia-stricken rabbits, lacto-N-neotetraose (100 μM, administered intratracheally for 24 hours) decreases the amount of Streptococcus pneumonia[3]. On the seventh day after surgery, the intradermal injection of 100/200 μg lacto-N-neotetraose enhances the rate of wound closure[4].
In vivo data for Lacto-N-neotetraose is derived from studies on its effects as a dietary supplement. Oral supplementation of LNnT has been studied for its effects on the gut microbiome and immune development in infants. It has anti-inflammatory effects and aids in wound healing. However, specific published in vivo efficacy studies in animal models are not detailed in the current literature. LNnT is primarily used as a research tool for studying human milk oligosaccharides and their biological functions. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro anti-inflammatory assay for Lacto-N-neotetraose is conducted in immature epithelial cells. Cells are treated with TNF-α in the presence or absence of varying concentrations of LNnT, and IL-8 secretion is measured by ELISA. Wound healing assays are performed using scratch assays in epithelial cell monolayers, where the rate of wound closure is measured in the presence of LNnT. Cell viability is assessed using standard assays.

| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for Lacto-N-neotetraose are conducted in immature epithelial cells. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of LNnT, and inflammatory responses are assessed by measuring IL-8 and other cytokine levels using ELISA or qPCR. Wound healing is assessed using scratch assays, where the rate of wound closure is measured over time. Cell proliferation and viability are measured using standard assays such as MTT.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Rabbit model of pneumonia[3]
Doses: 100 μM Route of Administration: Intratracheal administration for 24 h Experimental Results: diminished by ~2 logs the bacterial load in the lung at 48 h after challenge. Eliminated the extensive, edematous right middle lobe lesion evident at 48 h in control animals. Animal/Disease Models: Mice with symmetric full-thickness wounds Doses: 100, 200 μg Route of Administration: Intradermal injection, at 3, 7, 14, and 21 days post-surgery. Experimental Results: demonstrated better healing score, follicle formation, and lower epidermal thickness index (H&E staining). In vivo studies for Lacto-N-neotetraose are conducted in animal models or clinical studies evaluating the effects of oral supplementation. LNnT is administered orally as a dietary supplement. Efficacy is assessed by measuring inflammatory markers, gut microbiome composition, and immune function. Wound healing may be assessed in wound models. However, specific published in vivo protocols for LNnT are not detailed in the available literature. The compound is currently used as a research tool. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for Lacto-N-neotetraose is not extensively reported in publicly available sources. The compound has a molecular weight of 707.63 g/mol and a molecular formula of C26H45NO21. It has a CAS number of 13007-32-4. As an oligosaccharide, it is expected to have limited oral bioavailability but is metabolized by the gut microbiota. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life are not available in the current literature.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity data for Lacto-N-neotetraose is limited in publicly available sources. As a human milk oligosaccharide, it is generally recognized as safe for consumption. However, as with all research compounds, LNnT is intended for research use only and not for human therapeutic applications. Standard in vitro cytotoxicity assays and in vivo tolerability studies would be required for a complete toxicity assessment.
