Product Data:
Biological target: Methanesulfonic acid is an insect repellant.
In vitro activity: A manganese dioxide (MnO2)-methanesulfonic acid (CH3SO3H) oxidation system has been developed to efficiently promote direct coupling of benzylic ethers and carbamates with simple ketones via oxidative C-H bond activation. The alkylation proceeds smoothly under air atmosphere to afford the corresponding products in good to excellent yields (53-87%). Reference: J Org Chem. 2013 Apr 5;78(7):3104-12. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23506099/
In vivo activity: One hundred mice were assigned randomly into vehicle (V), methanesulfonic acid sodium salt (D), light damage model plus vehicle (MV) and light damage model plus methanesulfonic acid sodium salt (MD) groups (n = 25 each). Western blotting analysis showed that CytC, apoptosis proteinase activating factor-1 (Apaf-1), caspase 3, p53, p53-upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA), Bax, and Bad were increased, whereas the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L) were significantly decreased in the MV group than the MD group.
