MedChemExpress - Model Balsalazide -80573-04-2

Balsalazide is a prodrug of amino salicylic acid that releases mesalamine (HY-15027) in the colon, offering various anti-inflammatory effects in areas of colitis, and it also exerts related anticancer effects by regulating the IL-6/STAT3 pathway[1][2][3].

Description：Balsalazide is a prodrug of amino salicylic acid that releases mesalamine (HY-15027) in the colon, offering various anti-inflammatory effects in areas of colitis, and it also exerts related anticancer effects by regulating the IL-6/STAT3 pathway.

In Vivo：At the endpoint, the protein production of MIP-1β, MCP-1, IL-6, and IL-10 in the colon tissues decrease in concordance with the plasma concentrations of the cytokines. The drug-treated groups reveal lower expression of p-STAT3 compared to the CAC group. In addition, BCL2 decreases and BAX increases markedly in the BSZ+VSL#3 group[1]. Balsalazide is a new 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) containing prodrug[2].

Animal Administration：Mice[1] C57B/L6J mice are randomly divided into four groups: CAC group, Balsalazide (BSZ) group (300 mg/kg), VSL#3 group, and BSZ+VSL#3 group. After two weeks, the AOM/DSS model is induced by AOM injection followed by two cycles of 2% DSS[1].

IC50 & Target：IL-6 IL-1 STAT3
