 Use of mersalyl


Mersalyl (Salirgan) is a potent vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) inducer. Mersalyl induces VEGF and ENO1 mRNA expression. Mersalyl shows diuresis effects[1][2][3].

In Vitro Mersalyl (100 µM) induces VEGF and ENO1 mRNA expression but inhibits EPO mRNA expression induced by hypoxia, DFO, or CoCl2[2]. Mersalyl (20 µM; 5 min) is a cell-impermeant organomercurial compound that reacts with free thiol groups in mitochondrial membrane protein[1]. RT-PCR[2] Cell Line: Hep3B cells Concentration: 100 µM Incubation Time: 6 h Result: Induced VEGF and ENO1 mRNA expression but inhibited EPO mRNA expression induced by hypoxia, DFO, or CoCl2.
In Vivo Mersalyl (2.5-40 mg/kg; intramuscularly injection) shows diuresis effects in Rats[3]. Animal Model: Rats[3] Dosage: 2.5-40 mg/kg Administration: Intramuscularly injection Result: Significantly depressed in sulfhydryl concentration at 5 mg/kg.
