Quinocetone is an orally active animal feed additive used to increase the meat production of livestock and poultry. Quinocetone exhibits antibacterial activity against a variety of pathogenic microorganisms. Quinocetone exhibits tissue-specific (liver, lymphocyte) toxicity. Quinocetone induces autophagy in cells through the ATF6/DAPK1 pathway. Quinocetone activates the NF-κB and iNOS pathways, leading to cell apoptosis, hepatocyte vacuolar degeneration and fibrosis. Quinocetone can inhibit Nrf2/HO-1 and induce the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress and DNA damage.

In Vitro

Quinocetone is active against Microsporum canis, Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae with MICs of 8, 8 and 16 μg/mL but shows no significant inhibitory effect on various animal viruses including bursal disease virus, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, porcine parvovirus and classical swine fever virus[1].
Quinocetone (0-10 μg/mL, 0-24 h) triggers ER stress-induced autophagy via ATF6/DAPK1-modulated mAtg9a trafficking in HepG2 cells[2].
Quinocetone (0-20 μg/mL, 6-24 h) inhibits in human peripheral lymphocytes growth, triggers ROS increase and induced DNA damage[3].

In Vivo

Quinocetone (50-2400 mg/kg, i.g., once daily for 13 weeks)-induced Nrf2/HO-1 pathway suppression aggravates hepatocyte damage of Sprague-Dawley rats at high dose[4].

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

Animal Model: Hepatocyte damage assay established in adult male SD rats[4]
Dosage: 50, 800 and 2400 mg/kg
Administration: Intragastrical administration (p.o.), once daily for 13 weeks
Result: Kept all rats survived and no obviously significant changes were observed in mortality, illness and clinical signs.
Induced liver damage and liver was likely to be the target organ at high dose.
Aggravated ROS accumulation in liver and aggravated DNA damage at high dose.
Aggravated inflammation and apoptosis of hepatocyte at high dose.
Inhibited aggravated inflammation and apoptosis of hepatocyte at high dose.

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.
