Bioactivity | BNTA, a potent extracellular matrix (ECM) modulator, facilitates cartilage structural molecule synthesis on chondrocytes by activating superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3). BNTA shows a promising potential for osteoarthritis alleviation by modulating cartilage generation[1]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | BNTA (0.01-10 μM; 1-7 d) does not decrease cell viability of human osteoarthritis chondrocytes and rat primary chondrocytes[1].BNTA (0.1 μM; 2 d) increases SOX9 protein markedly[1].BNTA (0.1 μM; 2 d) remarkably increases the COL2A1 and SOX9 protein levels in IL1β-induced rat OA chondrocytes[1].BNTA (10 μM; 5 d) increases proteoglycan staining in ATDC5 cells[1].BNTA (0.01-10 μM; 6 h) upregulates the expression levels of ECM-related genes COL2A1, ACAN, proteoglycan 4 (PRG4), and SRY-box 9 (SOX9) in human OA chondrocytes[1].BNTA (0.01-10 μM; 6 h) increases Col2a1, Acan, Prg4, and Sox9 mRNA levels, with maximum effects around 0.1 μM in IL1β-induced rat OA chondrocytes[1].BNTA (0.01-1 μM; 2 or 3 w) enhances anabolism and inhibited inflammatory response in osteoarthritis cartilage explants[1].

In Vivo | BNTA (0.015-1.5 mg/kg; intra-articular injection; twice a week for 4 and 8 weeks) could attenuate OA progression developed after anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) in rats[1]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
