Application Notes

N,N’-Diphenethylurea was isolated from a marine Streptomyces by Omura and co-workers in 1978 and reported to have a weak antidepressant effect in an in vivo animal model. N,N’-Diphenethylurea, a product of phenylalanine metabolism, enhances adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-​L1 cells with expression of PPARγ2 being significantly increased in cells treated with N,​N'-​diphenethylurea compared with insulin alone.  In addition, N,​N'-​diphenethylurea-​treated cells exhibited significantly upregulated mRNA expression of adipogenic marker genes, including aP2, adiponectin and FAS during adipocyte differentiation.
