Product Description
Phosphoenolpyruvic acid tricyclohexylammonium salt is a glycolytic metabolite containing high-energy phosphate groups that can penetrate cell membranes and have cell protective and anti-oxidant effects.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
1. Cytoprotective activity against H₂O₂-induced damage in HeLa cells: Phosphoenolpyruvic acid tricyclohexylammonium salt (providing phosphoenolpyruvic acid, PEP) exerted cytoprotective effects. When HeLa cells were pretreated with the compound at concentrations of 0.1 mM, 0.5 mM, 1 mM, 2 mM, and 5 mM for 24 hours, followed by exposure to 200 μM H₂O₂ for 2 hours, the cell viability (measured by MTT assay) increased in a concentration-dependent manner. At 2 mM, the cell survival rate was significantly elevated to approximately 78%, compared to 42% in the H₂O₂-only control group [1]
2. Antioxidant activity: The compound reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in H₂O₂-treated HeLa cells. Pretreatment with 2 mM Phosphoenolpyruvic acid tricyclohexylammonium salt decreased ROS accumulation by about 52% (detected via DCFH-DA fluorescent probe) compared to the H₂O₂-only group. Additionally, it increased the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) by approximately 45% in HeLa cells, enhancing the cellular antioxidant defense system [1]
3. No anti-proliferative activity on normal HeLa cells: Treatment with Phosphoenolpyruvic acid tricyclohexylammonium salt alone (0.1-5 mM) for 24 hours did not affect the viability of non-stressed HeLa cells, with cell survival rates maintained above 95%, indicating no cytotoxicity under normal conditions [1]
Enzyme Assay
1. Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity assay: HeLa cells were lysed after treatment with Phosphoenolpyruvic acid tricyclohexylammonium salt (2 mM) and H₂O₂. The cell lysate was mixed with a reaction buffer containing reduced glutathione (GSH), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), and sodium azide. The mixture was incubated at 37°C for 5 minutes, then 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) solution was added to detect the remaining GSH. The absorbance was measured at 412 nm, and GSH-Px activity was calculated based on the rate of GSH consumption, with activity expressed as units per milligram of protein [1]
2. Intracellular ROS detection assay: HeLa cells were loaded with 10 μM DCFH-DA fluorescent probe for 30 minutes at 37°C after pretreatment with Phosphoenolpyruvic acid tricyclohexylammonium salt (0.5-2 mM) and H₂O₂ exposure. The cells were then washed with PBS to remove unloaded probe, and the fluorescence intensity (excitation: 488 nm, emission: 525 nm) was measured using a flow cytometer. ROS levels were quantified by comparing the mean fluorescence intensity of the treated group with the control group [1]
Cell Assay
1. MTT cell viability assay: HeLa cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 5×10³ cells per well and cultured overnight. The cells were then pretreated with Phosphoenolpyruvic acid tricyclohexylammonium salt (0.1-5 mM) for 24 hours, followed by 200 μM H₂O₂ for 2 hours. After treatment, 20 μL of MTT solution (5 mg/mL) was added to each well, and the plates were incubated at 37°C for 4 hours. The supernatant was removed, and 150 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was added to dissolve the formazan crystals. The absorbance was measured at 570 nm using a microplate reader, and cell viability was calculated as a percentage relative to the untreated control group [1]
2. Hoechst 33342 apoptosis staining assay: HeLa cells were grown on coverslips and treated with Phosphoenolpyruvic acid tricyclohexylammonium salt (2 mM) for 24 hours, then exposed to 200 μM H₂O₂ for 2 hours. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes, and stained with 10 μg/mL Hoechst 33342 for 10 minutes at room temperature. Apoptotic cells (characterized by condensed and fragmented nuclei) were observed under a fluorescence microscope, and the apoptosis rate was calculated by counting apoptotic cells among 300 total cells in five random fields [1]

Additional Infomation
Phosphoenolpyruvate tricyclohexylammonium is a salt form of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), an intermediate metabolite of glycolysis. This study used this salt form to deliver PEP to HeLa cells because PEP itself has poor cell membrane permeability [1]. The cell protection and antioxidant effects of phosphoenolpyruvate tricyclohexylammonium are achieved by maintaining intracellular redox balance—specifically, by enhancing GSH-Px activity to scavenge excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduce oxidative stress-induced cell damage [1].

  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
