Biological Activity

Masoprocol is a potent, orally active lipoxygenase inhibitor and Nrf2 pathway activator that reduces glucose and hepatic triglyceride concentrations in vivo, and has antihyperglycemic activity that may be useful in studies related to type II diabetes.

Chemical Information
Molecular Weight 302.36
Formula C18H22O4
CAS Number 27686-84-6

Conversion of different model animals based on BSA (PMID: 27057123)
Species Mouse Rat Rabbit Guinea pig Hamster Dog
Weight (kg) 0.02 0.15 1.8 0.4 0.08 10
Body Surface Area (m2) 0.007 0.025 0.15 0.05 0.02 0.5
Km factor 3 6 12 8 5 20
Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by  Animal B Km
Animal A Km

For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
