Handling Instructions Technical Support

2-Acetamidophenol (Orthocetamol) is a regulator that targets ferroptosis and glutathione metabolic pathways, is the ortho-regioisomer of Paracetamol (HY-66005). 2-Acetamidophenol has anti-atherosclerotic activity, and inhibiting total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) in a zebrafish hyperlipidemia model with IC50s for 30 μM and 40 μM, respectively. 2-Acetamidophenol upregulates the expression of glutathione synthesis-related genes (such as GCLC, GCLM, GSS) and iron ion transport genes (such as FPN1, FTH), reduces the accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ferrous ions (Fe2+), and enhances the activity of glutathione peroxidase GPX4, thereby inhibiting macrophage phagocytosis of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and foam cell formation.

In Vitro

In zebrafish hyperlipidemia model experiments, 2-Acetamidophenol (20-80 μM; 48 h) significantly improves lipid metabolism, reducing total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity, reducing intravascular macrophage aggregation, and enhancing blood flow velocity[1]. In RAW264.7 macrophage foam cell model experiments, 2-Acetamidophenol (10-40 μM; 24 h) inhibits oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced lipid phagocytosis, reduces intracellular TC, TG, free cholesterol (FC), cholesterol ester (CE) contents, and the CE/TC ratio, decreases reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ferrous ion Fe2+ accumulation, and enhances glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) activity[1].

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: Mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells
Concentration: 10 μM, 20 μM, 40 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Dose-dependently decreased Oil Red O staining intensity in ox-LDL-treated cells, indicating reduced lipid phagocytosis.
Significantly lowered intracellular TC, TG, FC, and CE contents than the model group, with the CE/TC ratio decreasing by 25-40%.
Fluorescent probe assays revealed a 30-50% reduction in ROS (DCFH-DA staining) and Fe2+ (FerroOrange staining). GPX4 activity, measured by ELISA, increased by 20-30% in treated cells.
qPCR analysis showed upregulation of glutathione synthesis-related genes (gclc, gclm, gss, 1.5-2.0-fold) and iron ion transport genes (fpn1, fth, 1.2-1.8-fold), while pro-inflammatory gene expression (IL-1β, IL-6) downregulated.
No significant changes in cell viability were observed at tested concentrations.
In Vivo

2-Acetamidophenol (20-80 μM; immersion administration; daily medium replacement; 48 h) in zebrafish (AB strain, 5 days post-fertilization) hyperlipidemia models significantly improves lipid metabolism, reduces total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, increases high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity, decreases intravascular macrophage aggregation, and accelerates blood flow velocity[1].

Animal Model: Zebrafish (AB strain, 5 days post-fertilization, unsexed, 2-3 mm body length) hyperlipidemia model induced by egg yolk powder feeding[1]
Dosage: 20 μM, 40 μM, 80 μM (dissolved in zebrafish culture water, final DMSO concentration <0.05%)
Administration: Immersion administration by adding to culture water, medium replaced daily, treatment for 48 h starting at 5 days post-fertilization
Result: Dose-dependently reduced lipid deposition in caudal vasculature as assessed by Oil Red O staining, with integrated optical density (IOD) decreasing by 30-55% compared to the model group (egg yolk powder-fed zebrafish).
Biochemical assays showed significant reductions in TC, TG, and LDL-C, while HDL-C levels increased by 25-40%.
Blood flow velocity in caudal arteries increased by 1.3-fold at 80 μM, correlating with improved vascular stability.
Intravascular macrophage density, visualized in Tg(lyz:EGFP) zebrafish, decreased by 46% in the highest dose group, indicating reduced inflammatory cell accumulation.
Antioxidant parameters T-SOD and CAT activity were elevated by 20-30%, and MDA levels were reduced by 28% compared to the model, demonstrating enhanced antioxidant capacity.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
