High impact information on Epigid

Intraperitoneal injection of different amounts of Epygid (2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-oxypyridine) to 3- and 18-month-old rats led to significant reduction of translating activity in vitro of membrane-bound polysomes of brain cells, but not of free polysomes, more so for bound polysomes from 18-month-old animals than those from 3 months old [1].
The phenomenon may be related to incorporation of Epygid into the membranes of endoplasmic reticulum which contain a part of cell polysomes on their surface [1].
There is experimental evidence about the relationship between these two processes in hepatocytes, i.e. addition of 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine, 2, 6-di(tert)butyl-4-hydroxytoluene, and 1, 2, 3-tri-hydroxybenzene to the incubation medium leads to inhibition of lipid peroxidation and stabilization of cytochrome P-450 [2].
Influence of the geroprotector 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine hydrochloride on the lifetime of Drosophila melanogaster [3].
