Carbenoxolone disodium is a semi-synthetic derivative of glycyrrhetinic acid, an orally active gap junction/hemichannel inhibitor and a non-selective inhibitor of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1). Carbenoxolone disodium inhibits connexin-mediated intercellular communication and Pannexin1 channel activity to block gap junction communication, while also modulating local glucocorticoid metabolism through inhibition of 11β-HSD1 to exert anti-inflammatory effects. Carbenoxolone disodium can be used in research on peptic ulcer, Alzheimer's disease, liver fibrosis, and metabolic diseases[1-4].
In vitro, Carbenoxolone disodium (50–100μM) was applied to human colorectal cancer cells (HCT116) and glioblastoma cells (U251 and U87) for 56 hours. Carbenoxolone disodium did not alter the proliferation rate of these cells, nor did it affect cell migration speed[5]. Carbenoxolone disodium (30μM) was used to pretreat HaCaT human keratinocytes and N2a mouse neuroblastoma cells for 1 hour, followed by infection with Vaccinia virus. Carbenoxolone disodium did not inhibit viral early protein expression, DNA replication, or late protein A27 synthesis. Carbenoxolone disodium blocked the formation of intracellular mature virus and extracellular enveloped virus[6].
In vivo, Carbenoxolone disodium (15mg/kg) was administered daily by oral gavage to obese model C57BL/6J male mice for 12 weeks. Carbenoxolone disodium improved insulin sensitivity, inhibited IκB-α/NF-κB pathway activation and NLRP3 inflammasome activation, downregulated p-IRS-1 expression, upregulated p-PI3K and p-AKT expression, and alleviated lipid accumulation in the liver and skeletal muscle[7]. Carbenoxolone disodium (15mg/kg) was administered daily by oral gavage to obese model C57BL/6J male mice for 12 weeks. Carbenoxolone disodium reduced serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein levels, increased high-density lipoprotein levels, attenuated body weight gain, alleviated hepatic lipid accumulation and hepatocyte ballooning, downregulated hepatic SOCS-3, SREBP-1c, and FAS expression, elevated phosphorylated JAK2 and phosphorylated STAT3 protein levels, and decreased hepatic inflammatory cytokine expression of IL-6 and TNF-α[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | HaCaT cells (spontaneously immortalised human keratinocyte cell line), N2a cells (murine neuroblastoma cell line) |
Preparation Method | HaCaT and N2a cells were maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum, 50IU/ml penicillin and 50μg/ml streptomycin at 37°C, 5% CO₂. HaCaT and N2a cells were pretreated with Carbenoxolone disodium at 30μM Carbenoxolone disodium for 1h prior to Vaccinia virus infection, and Carbenoxolone disodium was retained in the overlay medium throughout the infection period. |
Reaction Conditions | 30μM; 1h pretreatment followed by Vaccinia virus infection |
Applications | Carbenoxolone disodium inhibited Vaccinia virus replication in HaCaT and N2a cells, with the inhibitory effect independent of gap junction function and PP2A upregulation. Carbenoxolone disodium did not suppress Vaccinia virus early protein expression, DNA replication or late protein (including A27) synthesis, but almost entirely blocked intracellular mature virus (IMV) and extracellular enveloped virus (EEV) formation. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | 6-week-old male C57BL/6J mice with high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity |
Preparation Method | After 1 week of acclimation with normal chow diet, mice were fed with HFD (60% calories from fat) for 8 weeks to establish obesity model. Then mice were given Carbenoxolone disodium dissolved in sterile water by daily gavage (15mg/kg) for 12 weeks. All mice were sacrificed after 12-week treatment for serum and liver tissue detection. |
Dosage form | 15mg/kg; oral gavage; daily for 12 weeks |
Applications | Carbenoxolone disodium attenuated HFD-induced body weight gain, decreased serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level, with no significant alteration in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Carbenoxolone disodium relieved hepatic intracellular lipid accumulation, hepatocellular ballooning and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) activity score, downregulated mRNA and protein expressions of SOCS-3, SREBP-1c and FAS in liver, reduced hepatic interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels, and elevated phosphorylated JAK2/JAK2 and phosphorylated STAT3/STAT3 ratios in liver. |
