    In Vitro

    Didox (NSC-324360) suppresses LPS-induced mRNA levels of iNOS, IL-6, IL-1, TNF-α, NF-κβ (p65), and p38-α, after 24 h of treatment. Treatment with Didox also suppresses the secretion of nitric oxide (NO), IL-6, and IL-10. Using mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity as a measure of cytotoxicity, the effects of Didox on cellular respiration in RAW264.7 are examined over a range of concentrations for 24 h. Cells exposures to 200 μM and below Didox, with and without LPS, do not exhibit significant cellular toxicity[1]. Didox (NSC-324360) is active against all human and murine acute myeloid leukemia (AML) lines tested with IC50 values in the low micromolar range (mean IC50 37 µM [range 25.89-52.70 µM])[2].

    In Vivo

    Once engraftment is established by bioluminescent imaging, the animals receive daily administrations of Didox at 425 mg/kg via IP injection over 5 days. Didox (NSC-324360) treatment significantly reduces leukemic burden compared to vehicle treated controls (p=0.0026 and p=0.0342). More importantly, Didox (NSC-324360) provides a significant survival benefit (p<0.0001 and p=0.0094)[2].

    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: ≥ 2.75 mg/mL (16.26 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.75 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (27.5 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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.75 mg/mL (16.26 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.75 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (27.5 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    RAW264.7 macrophages are treated with Didox alone, with 0.1 μg/mL LPS, or the two in combination. Cellular respiration, as an indication of cytotoxicity, is measured by the MTT assay, which quantifies mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity. Macrophages are plated into 96 well Costar plates at 105 cells per well in 100 μL of DMEM media. After 4 h of incubation at 37°C for adherence, compounds and DMSO carrier control (0.01% final) are added in triplicate over serial dilutions beginning with 200 μM per well in a total volume of 200 μL, and the plates incubated for 24 h. Four h before termination of the assay, each well receives 20 μL of a 5 mg/mL MTT solution in un-supplemented DMEM. After centrifugation, the supernatant for each well is discarded and cells containing reduced MTT are solubilized with 100 μL of acidified isopropanol (4 mM HCl, 0.1% NP-40 in isopropanol). Following a brief period of shaking, the optical density (O.D.) for each well is recorded at 550 nm. Each experiment is repeated three times and the data averaged from each triplicate, then expressed as percentage of the control O.D. values for each experiment[1].

    Animal Administration
    [2]

    Mice[2]
    Luciferase-tagged leukemia cells are transplanted into 8- week old, sublethally irradiated (4.5 Gy) C57Bl/6 mice by tail vein injection of 1.0×106 cells per mouse. Mice are injected with 150 mg/kg D-Luciferin, anesthetised with Isoflurane, and imaged using the IVIS 100 imaging system. Mice begin treatment with Didox upon detection of clear signal. The animals are treated with daily administrations of Didox (NSC-324360) at 425 mg/kg Didox by intraperitoneal injection (IP) for 5 days. Control animals receive 5% dextrose water by IP injection. Repeat imaging is performed on the day following the final treatment[2].

    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.
