Picolinafen is a pyridine-class herbicide that acts as a phytoene desaturase (PDS) inhibitor. Picolinafen effectively controls broadleaf weeds and disrupts carotenoid biosynthesis. Picolinafen exhibits cytotoxicity to porcine trophectoderm (pTr) and luminal epithelial (pLE) cells. Picolinafen induces (ROS accumulation, calcium depletion, and activates (MAPK and (PI3K signaling pathways, leading to decreased cell viability, increased apoptosis, impaired migration, and altered expression of implantation-related genes. Picolinafen can affect the implantation capacity of pTr and pLE cells. Picolinafen has an LD50 value of 2.7 mg/kg in mammals and 7 μg/L in fish. Picolinafen exhibits toxic effects during zebrafish embryogenesis[1][2].

Description

Picolinafen is a pyridine-class herbicide that acts as a phytoene desaturase (PDS) inhibitor. Picolinafen effectively controls broadleaf weeds and disrupts carotenoid biosynthesis. Picolinafen exhibits cytotoxicity to porcine trophectoderm (pTr) and luminal epithelial (pLE) cells. Picolinafen induces (ROS accumulation, calcium depletion, and activates (MAPK and (PI3K signaling pathways, leading to decreased cell viability, increased apoptosis, impaired migration, and altered expression of implantation-related genes. Picolinafen can affect the implantation capacity of pTr and pLE cells. Picolinafen has an LD50 value of 2.7 mg/kg in mammals and 7 μg/L in fish. Picolinafen exhibits toxic effects during zebrafish embryogenesis[1][2].

In Vitro

Picolinafen (0.2-6 μM, 48 h) decreases cell viability and alters cell cycle progression in pTr and pLE cells[1].

Picolinafen (1-4 μM, 48 h) induces apoptosis, impairs self-assembly of cell spheroids and interferes with mitochondrial integrity and calcium homeostasis in pTr and pLE cells[1].

Picolinafen (1-4 μM, 2-48 h) causes ROS accumulation and disrupts intracellular Ca2+ regulation in pTr and pLE cells[1].

Picolinafen (4 μM, 15-24 h) inhibits pTr cell migration and alters the transcriptional regulation of genes involved in apoptosis and implantation[1].

Picolinafen (1-4 μM, 3 h) activates the MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways in pTr and pLE cells[1].

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: pTr and pLE cells
Concentration: 1, 2, 4 μM
Incubation Time: 3 h
Result: Increased the abundance of phosphorylated ERK1/2, JNK, and p38 and the expression levels of PI3K/AKT in pTr cells.
Increased the abundance of phosphorylated JNK and p38 in pLE cells.

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.
