SDS COA Handling Instructions

Bardoxolone (RTA 401; CDDO) is a novel nuclear regulatory factor (NRf-2) activator. Bardoxolone is a potent necroptosis inhibitor that inhibits Z-VAD-FMK-induced necroptosis. Bardoxolone methyl enhances the antioxidant system, modulates inflammatory cytokines and inhibits apoptosis in rat kidney, demonstrating inhibition on APAP-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and analgesic effect. Additionally, Bardoxolone methyl decreases Paclitaxel (PAC) (HY-B0015)-induced mitochondrial damage in neuronal cells. Bardoxolone methyl is promising for the research of chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain and chronic kidney disease.

In Vitro

Bardoxolone methyl (5, 10 mg/kg) significantly decreases in levels of renal KIM-1, NGAL, TNF-α, TOS, OSI and improves deterioration in glomeruli and tubules similarly to NAC (HY-B0215) in rat kidney homogenates[3].
Bardoxolone methyl (0.3 and 1 μM, 28 h) decreases PAC-induced mitochondrial damage in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neuronal cell lines and increases pNRf2 intensity in the PAC-treated DRG cells[4].

In Vivo

Bardoxolone methyl(5, 10 mg/kg) decreased the percentage of caspase-3 immunopositive cells in a dose-dependent manner in rat kidney [3].
Bardoxolone methyl (0-10 mg/kg, i.p., a single dose) results in analgesia but not sedation in rats[4].
Bardoxolone methyl [10 mg/kg, twice-daily on day 21 after the first PAC (HY-B0015) injection] decreases PAC-induced levels of pNFκB and MCP-1 by increasing pNRf2 and HO-1 in rat DRG[4].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.08 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.08 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
