Sodium propionate-13C-3 is a 13C-labeled version of Propionate sodium, an orally active short-chain fatty acid produced by intestinal bacteria. It increases PPAR-γ, inhibits NF-κB activation, and reduces COX-2 expression and NO production. It also induces Apoptosis and Autophagy, reduces HSV-1-induced keratitis, and exhibits anticancer effects against glioblastoma. This compound possesses neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities, making it useful in research for spinal cord injury and Alzheimer's disease.
- Used as a tracer.
- Can serve as an internal standard for quantitative analysis using techniques like NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
- Stable heavy isotope of carbon for drug development quantitation.
- Exhibits neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities.
- Has anticancer effects against glioblastoma.
