| Bioactivity | 5-Aminosalicylic acid (Mesalamine) acts as a specific PPARγ agonist and also inhibits p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) and NF-κB. |
| Invitro | 5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is a specific agonist for PPARγ, and only PPARγ but not PPARα or PPARδ induces p65 degradation. 5-Aminosalicylic acid induces degradation of p65 protein indicative of PPARγ's E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. 5-Aminosalicylic acid also inhibits PAK1 at the mRNA level which is suggestive of an additional mechanism independent of PPARγ ligand activation. 5-Aminosalicylic acid blocks NF-κB in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) through inhibition of PAK1[1]. Pretreatment with 5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) or Nimesulide at different concentration (10-1000 μmol/L) for 12-96 h, inhibits the growth of HT-29 colon carcinoma cells in a dose and time-dependent manner. However, the suppression of 5-Aminosalicylic acid or Nimesulide has no statistical significance. The growth of HT-29 colon carcinoma cells is inhibited dose-dependently when pretreated with different doses of combined 5-Aminosalicylic acid and Nimesulide. Combined 5-Aminosalicylic acid (final concentration 100 μM) and Nimesulide (final concentration 10-1000 μM) inhibits the proliferation of HT-29 colon carcinoma cells in a dose-dependent manner, being more potent than corresponding dose of Nimesulide. Similarly, combined Nimesulide (final concentration 100 μM) and 5-Aminosalicylic acid (final concentration 10-1000 μM) also inhibits the proliferation of these cells dose-dependently, being more potent than corresponding dose of 5-Aminosalicylic acid[2]. |
