Product Description

PD: EUK 134 (EUK-134; EUK134), a synthetic and cell permeable superoxide dismutase (SOD)/catalase mimetic, is a novel antioxidant compound that exhibits potent antioxidant activities. It inhibits the formation of β-amyloid and related amyloid fibril. In SK-N-MC cells, EUK134 protects neuronal cells against H2O2 toxicity by attenuating oxidative stress through inhibition of MAPK pathway, and also results in decreased expression of pro-apoptotic genes p53 and Bax as well as enhanced expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 gene. Pretreatment with EUK-134 (10 μM) was effective in the prevention of hypertrophic changes in H9C2 cells, reduction of oxidative stress, and prevention of metabolic shift. EUK-134 treatment improved the oxidative status of mitochondria and reversed hypertrophy-induced reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential. Supplementation with EUK-134 is therefore identified as a novel approach to attenuate cardiac hypertrophy and lends scope for the development of EUK-134 as a therapeutic agent in the management of human cardiovascular disease.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
EUK-134 acts as a synthetic mimetic of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase [1]
ln Vitro
If EUK-134 (10-300 μM) is able to mutate or scavenge superoxide anions, it can limit the generation of hydroxyl radicals, and greatly reduce paraquat (1 mm)-induced cell death [2]. Cell viability is slightly but significantly reduced at high concentrations of EUK-134 (30-300 μM); however, cell death studies at these concentrations do not show this effect [2]. A manganese salt compound having catalase and superoxide dismutase activity is called EUK-134. Consequently, it was determined that supplementing with EUK-134 was a novel way to reduce cardiac hypertrophy and open the door for EUK-134 to be developed as a treatment for cardiovascular illness in humans. With catalase and manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn SOD) activity, EUK-134 is a mitogenic protective antioxidant [3].
In H9C2 cardiomyoblast cells treated with phenylephrine (PE, 10 μM) to induce hypertrophy, EUK-134 (10, 50, 100 μM) dose-dependently inhibited cell enlargement. At 100 μM, it reduced cell surface area by 42% and decreased the expression of hypertrophy markers (ANP, BNP) at both mRNA (by 58% and 63%, respectively) and protein levels (by 51% and 56%, respectively) [3]
- In H9C2 cells, EUK-134 (50 μM) stimulated fatty acid oxidation by increasing the activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1) by 47% and upregulating the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) mRNA by 68% and protein by 59% [3]
- In LLC-PK1 renal tubular epithelial cells exposed to paraquat (PQ, 1 mM) to induce oxidative stress, EUK-134 (10, 25, 50 μM) dose-dependently increased cell viability. At 50 μM, it improved cell viability from 45% (PQ-only group) to 82% and reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by 65% [2]
ln Vivo
EUK 134 (2.5 mg/kg), in a middle cerebral artery occlusion model, significantly reduces brain infarct size, and apparently prevents further infarct growth. EUK-134 prevents oxidative stress and attenuates rat brain damage induced by systemic administration of systemic kainic acid (KA).
In rats subjected to renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury (45 minutes of ischemia followed by 24 hours of reperfusion), intravenous administration of EUK-134 (5 mg/kg) 15 minutes before reperfusion significantly improved renal function. It reduced serum creatinine (by 52%) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (by 48%) compared to vehicle-treated I/R rats, and attenuated renal tissue necrosis and neutrophil infiltration [1]
- In rats with paraquat-induced nephrotoxicity (single intraperitoneal injection of PQ, 20 mg/kg), oral administration of EUK-134 (10 mg/kg/day) for 7 days dose-dependently protected renal function. It decreased serum creatinine (by 49%) and BUN (by 43%), reduced renal malondialdehyde (MDA) levels (by 57%), and increased renal SOD activity (by 62%) and glutathione (GSH) levels (by 54%) compared to PQ-only group [2]
Enzyme Assay
SOD mimetic activity assay: EUK-134 (0.1-100 μM) was incubated with xanthine and xanthine oxidase in assay buffer at 37°C for 30 minutes. The formation of superoxide anion was detected using a chromogenic substrate, and the inhibition rate was calculated to assess SOD-like activity [1]
- Catalase mimetic activity assay: Various concentrations of EUK-134 (0.1-100 μM) were mixed with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in buffer at 25°C. The decomposition of H₂O₂ was monitored by measuring absorbance at 240 nm over 10 minutes, and the reaction rate was used to evaluate catalase-like activity [1]
Cell Assay
Cell Viability Assay[2]
Cell Types: NRK-52E cells
Tested Concentrations: 0, 1, 3, 10, 30, 100, and 300 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Co-incubation with Paraquat (1 mM) and increasing concentrations of EUK-134 (1-300 μM) resulted in a significant reduction in paraquat-induced cellular injury and death at 100 and 300 μM.
H9C2 cell hypertrophy assay: H9C2 cells were seeded in 6-well plates at 2×10⁵ cells/well and cultured for 24 hours. Cells were pretreated with EUK-134 (10, 50, 100 μM) for 1 hour, then stimulated with PE (10 μM) for 48 hours. Cell surface area was measured by phase-contrast microscopy. ANP and BNP mRNA levels were detected by RT-PCR, and protein levels were analyzed by Western blot [3]
- H9C2 cell fatty acid oxidation assay: H9C2 cells were seeded in 24-well plates and treated with EUK-134 (10, 50, 100 μM) for 24 hours. CPT1 activity was measured using a colorimetric assay kit. PPARα mRNA and protein levels were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively [3]
- LLC-PK1 cell oxidative stress assay: LLC-PK1 cells were plated in 96-well plates at 5×10³ cells/well. After 24 hours, cells were pretreated with EUK-134 (10, 25, 50 μM) for 1 hour, then exposed to PQ (1 mM) for 24 hours. Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay, and intracellular ROS levels were detected using DCFH-DA fluorescent probe [2]
Animal Protocol
Dissolved in 0.9% saline; 2.5 mg/kg; i.v. injection
Rat model in stroke.
Rats (renal I/R injury model): Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) were anesthetized. The left renal artery was clamped for 45 minutes to induce ischemia, followed by reperfusion. EUK-134 was dissolved in saline and administered intravenously at 5 mg/kg 15 minutes before reperfusion. Vehicle-treated rats received saline alone. After 24 hours of reperfusion, blood samples were collected to measure serum creatinine and BUN, and renal tissue was excised for histopathological analysis [1]
- Rats (paraquat-induced nephrotoxicity model): Male Wistar rats (200-250 g) were randomly divided into control, PQ, and PQ+EUK-134 groups. Rats in PQ and PQ+EUK-134 groups received a single intraperitoneal injection of PQ (20 mg/kg). EUK-134 was dissolved in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose sodium and administered orally at 10 mg/kg/day for 7 days, starting 1 hour after PQ injection. Control and PQ groups received vehicle. On day 8, serum and renal tissue were collected to measure renal function parameters, oxidative stress markers (MDA, SOD, GSH) [2]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
In in vivo studies, EUK-134 at test doses (5 mg/kg intravenously, 10 mg/kg/day orally) did not cause significant toxicity in rats. No significant changes in body weight, liver function (ALT, AST), or kidney function (in uninjured rats) were observed [1][2]. In vitro studies have shown that EUK-134 at concentrations up to 100 μM does not affect the viability of H9C2 or LLC-PK1 cells in the absence of oxidative stress or hypertrophic stimulation [2][3].

Additional Infomation
EUK-134 is a synthetic organoselenium compound that mimics the catalytic activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, thereby scavenging superoxide anion (O₂⁻) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) [1]. Its protective mechanisms include reducing oxidative stress, inhibiting lipid peroxidation, and protecting the antioxidant defense system (SOD, GSH) in target tissues [2]. EUK-134 has potential applications in the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases, including ischemia-reperfusion injury, nephrotoxicity, and cardiac hypertrophy [1][2][3].
