| Targets |
11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD) type 1 and gap junction connexin channels. Carbenoxolone reversibly inhibits the conversion of inactive cortisone to cortisol by blocking 11β-HSD. It also directly interferes with connexin function by blocking gap junction channel activity.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Carbenoxolone inhibits 11β-HSD, an enzyme that regenerates cortisol from inactive cortisone. As a gap junction blocker, it inhibits connexin channel activity. Carbenoxolone also interacts with stable residues of beta-amyloid 42 peptides, fibrils, and oligomers, thereby inhibiting their aggregation. It inhibits macrophage migration into atria and prevents the development of fatty liver disease.
|
| ln Vivo |
Carbenoxolone has been shown to alleviate liver fibrosis and inhibit macrophage migration into atria. It has antiviral activity against DENV infection targeting the virus itself. Carbenoxolone may decrease the amount of active glucocorticoid in the brain by inhibiting 11β-HSD type 1.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme inhibition assays for Carbenoxolone involve measuring the activity of 11β-HSD in the presence of varying concentrations of the compound. The enzyme is incubated with cortisone substrate, and the conversion to cortisol is quantified. The IC50 is determined from the dose-response curve. Gap junction inhibition can be assessed using dye transfer assays in connexin-expressing cells.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for Carbenoxolone assess its effects on 11β-HSD activity and gap junction communication in cultured cells. Cells are treated with Carbenoxolone, and cortisol production or dye transfer through gap junctions is measured. Its antiviral activity can be assessed in DENV-infected cell cultures by measuring viral replication.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies of Carbenoxolone have been conducted in animal models of liver fibrosis, atrial inflammation, and viral infection. The compound is typically administered orally or intraperitoneally. Endpoints include measurement of liver fibrosis markers, macrophage migration, and viral load.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Carbenoxolone is orally bioavailable. As a glycyrrhetinic acid derivative, it is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and metabolized in the liver. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life and clearance are not extensively reported but are characteristic of triterpenoid compounds.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Carbenoxolone has been licensed for use in the UK for esophageal ulceration and inflammation. It may cause mineralocorticoid-like side effects due to 11β-HSD inhibition, including sodium retention, potassium loss, and hypertension. Comprehensive toxicological data are available from its clinical use.

drug extracted from licorice root. It is used to treat peptic ulcers, especially gastric ulcers. Antidiuretic side effects are relatively common, but otherwise, the drug has low toxicity.
Carbenoxolone is a licensed drug in the UK for esophageal ulceration and inflammation. It is also used as a research tool for studying 11β-HSD function, gap junction communication, and glucocorticoid metabolism. It has been investigated for antiviral activity against DENV infection and for its effects on beta-amyloid aggregation. |

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.38 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), Clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL of corn oil and mix well. (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*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.
