| Targets |
The biological target of this compound is generally related to its role as a substrate for enzymes. In the shikimate pathway, it is converted by 3-dehydroshikimate dehydratase to protocatechuic acid. It also has reported antioxidant activity, indicating it can scavenge free radicals and reactive oxygen species. Its mechanism involves transferring hydrogen atoms to neutralize free radicals, thus protecting cells from oxidative stress.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, (-)-3-Dehydroshikimic acid exhibits antioxidant activity. This activity can be measured using chemical assays such as the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging assay or the ABTS (2,2-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) assay. It neutralizes free radicals, reducing their concentration. This property makes it of interest in research fields focused on preventing oxidative damage.
|
| ln Vivo |
No specific in vivo activity for animals is reported for 3-Dehydroshikimic acid alone. Its role is in plant and microbial primary metabolism. In these systems, it is a transient metabolite. Its antioxidant activity may translate to some protective effects in animal models, but this has not been thoroughly studied or reported. Its primary significance is in engineering metabolic pathways in bacteria or yeast.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The compound is not used in standard receptor-binding assays. Its antioxidant activity can be measured in cell-free systems. For the DPPH assay, a solution of DPPH (purple) in ethanol is mixed with the test compound. The decrease in absorbance at 515 nm is measured, as the antioxidant reduces DPPH to DPPH-H (yellow). The radical scavenging activity is calculated as a percentage of inhibition. The IC50 value can be determined.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro studies on antioxidant activity, cells (e.g., hepatocytes, neuronal cells) are cultured in media. They are then subjected to oxidative stress using an agent like hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). (-)-3-Dehydroshikimic acid is added to the culture media at varying concentrations (e.g., 10-200 ug/mL) 1-2 hours before the stressor. Cell viability is measured by MTT assay, and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels are measured using fluorescent probes like DCFH-DA.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No in vivo animal protocols are documented for this compound. It is not a drug candidate. For a basic toxicity or bioavailability study, the compound could be administered to rodents (e.g., 50-200 mg/kg) via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection. Blood and liver samples could be collected to measure the compound and its metabolites by LC-MS, but such studies are not standard.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
No specific pharmacokinetic data is available for (-)-3-Dehydroshikimic acid. It is a water-soluble, polar molecule (MW 172.14). It is soluble in water, methanol, and DMSO. For research, it is typically stored as a powder at -20degC. It is a relatively stable compound. For metabolic studies in yeast, it can be added directly to the culture medium.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicology data is available for (-)-3-Dehydroshikimic acid. As a naturally occurring intermediate, it is unlikely to be highly toxic. However, standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed. It may be a skin, eye, and respiratory tract irritant. Avoid inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact. The compound is for research use only and not for human or veterinary use.
