Hexadecanamide  (Synonyms: Palmitamide)

Cat. No.: HY-121389 Purity: ≥97.0%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Hexadecanamide (Palmitamide) is a fatty acid amide that has orally active anti-allergic, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects. Hexadecanamide exerts protective effects in Staphylococcus aureus- and SARA-induced mastitis. Hexadecanamide suppresses S. aureus-induced activation of the NF-κB pathway and improves blood-milk barrier integrity. Hexadecanamide activates PPARα. Hexadecanamide enhances sperm motility in vitro. Hexadecanamide can be studied in research for mastitis and asthenozoospermia.

Hexadecanamide exerts protective effects in Staphylococcus aureus- and SARA-induced mastitis. Hexadecanamide suppresses S. aureus-induced activation of the NF-κB pathway and improves blood-milk barrier integrity. Hexadecanamide activates PPARα. Hexadecanamide enhances sperm motility in vitro. Hexadecanamide can be studied in research for mastitis and asthenozoospermia[1][2].

PPARα

 

In Vitro

Hexadecanamide (Compound HEX) (5 μM, 2 h) limits the activation of mammary NF-κB via activating the PPARα-SIRT1 axis in MMECs[1].
Hexadecanamide (10 nM, 0-72 h) exerts a significant enhancing effect on sperm motility[2].
Hexadecanamide (0-1.5 nM, 72 h) results in a significant increase in the protein levels of both PAOX and CA2 in sperm cells[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Hexadecanamide (Compound HEX) (1.25-5 mg/kg. p.o., 15 d) reduces mammary S. aureus loads and attenuates mammary damage in a dose-dependent manner in S. aureus infected mice[1].
Hexadecanamide (5 mg/kg, p.o., 10 d) effectively reduces colonic inflammation in SARA mice[1].

Animal Model: S. aureus infected male and female BALB/c mice (21-25 g, 6-8 w)[1]
Dosage: 1.25, 2.5, 5 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage (p.o.), 15 d
Result: Reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and structure destruction.
Decreased inflammatory markers (MPO activity, TNF-α, IL-1β) dose-dependently.
Reversed the decrease in the TJs proteins, ZO-1, Occludin, and Claudin-3 caused by S. aureus.
Repaired the blood-milk barrier injury induced by S. aureus.
Animal Model: BALB/c mice model with S-RMT-induced mucosal barrier injury[1]
Dosage: 5 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage (p.o.), 10 d
Result: Increased mucin-2 expression and improved S-RMT-induced mucosal barrier injury in S-RMT mice.
Distinctly mitigated the upregulation of inflammatory markers caused by S-RMT.
Reversed the SARA aggravated S. aureus-induced mastitis.

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.
