|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid demonstrates potent in vitro antifungal activity against all tested phytopathogenic fungi, with inhibition rates of about 90-100%. It exhibits anticancer activity by inducing apoptosis in cancer cells through ROS generation. The compound shows antibacterial activity and modulates immune responses by upregulating IL-8 and ICAM-1 while inhibiting RANTES and MCP-1 release. Its broad-spectrum antimicrobial and anticancer activities make it a valuable tool for research.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity of phenazine-1-carboxylic acid has been demonstrated in a zebrafish model, where it showed antagonistic activity against Vibrio anguillarum. Its strong antifungal activity against plant pathogenic fungi suggests potential for agricultural applications in controlling grapevine trunk diseases and other phytopathogenic infections. The compound's anticancer and immunomodulatory activities warrant further in vivo investigation in mammalian models.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for phenazine-1-carboxylic acid are not extensively documented, as the compound's primary mechanism involves ROS generation rather than specific enzyme inhibition. However, its ability to modulate cytokine expression can be assessed using ELISA or multiplex assays in cell culture supernatants. Antifungal activity is evaluated using standard agar diffusion or broth microdilution methods against phytopathogenic fungi.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for phenazine-1-carboxylic acid involve treating cancer cell lines with varying concentrations of the compound and measuring cell viability using MTT or other assays. Apoptosis is evaluated by Annexin V staining, caspase activity assays, or ROS detection using fluorescent probes. Immunomodulatory effects are assessed by measuring cytokine and chemokine levels in treated immune cells or epithelial cells using ELISA.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for phenazine-1-carboxylic acid have been conducted in a zebrafish model to evaluate its antagonistic activity against Vibrio anguillarum. For agricultural applications, the compound can be tested in plant models infected with phytopathogenic fungi to evaluate disease control efficacy. Further studies in mammalian models of cancer and infection are needed to fully characterize its therapeutic potential.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
