Product Introduction
Lactic acid AI Summary
Lactic acid shows notable bioactivities, including cytotoxic effects on cancer cells with p53 mutations at a potency of 25.1 nM. It also demonstrates the ability to block Ebola virus entry, with potency levels ranging from 35.48 µM to 39.81 µM in one assay and from 35481.3 nM to 39810.7 nM in another. Additionally, when administered topically at concentrations of 2% and 4% over four weeks, Lactic acid increases ceramide content in human skin. A similar increase is observed in keratinocytes at a concentration of 20 mM after 24 hours, with fold changes ranging from 1.4 to 4.3. It also exhibits cytotoxicity against human MRC5 cells (IC50 of 23,930,000 nM) and A549 cells (IC50 of 26,610,000 nM), determined by the MTT assay after 48 hours..

| Description | Lactic acid (2-hydroxypropanoic acid), a glycolysis end product, is a hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 1 (HCAR1) activator (EC50=4.2-5 mM). Lactic acid can be used as a hemodynamic index in critically ill patients and has anti-tumor activity. |
| Targets&IC50 | GPR109A:1 mM (EC50), GPR81 (HCAR1):1 mM (EC50), GPR109B:1 mM (EC50) |
| In vitro | METHODS: : Effects on cell proliferation and migration of uveal melanoma after treatment with Lactic acid (20 mM) for 24 and 48 hours. RESULTS: Lactic acid led to a significant reduction in cell proliferation and migration. [1] Method: Uveal melanoma was treated with Lactic acid (20 mM) for 24 hours, and the protein expression level was detected by western blot. Result: Lactic acid promoted the increase in the protein expression levels of MCT1 and HCAR1. [1] |
| In vivo | METHODS: To detect the anti-tumor activity in vivo, Lactic acid (1.6 g/kg) was subcutaneously injected into Female C57BL/6 mice with MC38 colon cancer cells; pH 7.4 Once a day; From Day 8 to Day 30. RESULTS: Lactic acid demonstrated CD8+ T cell-dependent tumor growth inhibition in the MC38 colon cancer model. [2] |
