    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 (7.64 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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.64 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 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.

    Kinase Assay
    [1]

    Nunc-Immuno MaxiSorp plates are coated with 20 μg/mL MBP solution in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). After washing with PBS containing 0.05% Tween 20 (T-PBS), blocking buffer (T-PBS containing 3% BSA) is added to each well and the plates are incubated for 10 min at room temperature. After washing with T-PBS, chemical compounds, ATP and recombinant ERK2 diluted in assay dilution buffer (20 mM Mops, pH 7.2, 25 mM β-glycerol phosphate, 5 mM EGTA, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 1 mM dithiothreitol, and 50 μg/mL BSA) and are added to each well. Vehicle groups (containing 0.1% DMSO) and kinase-withdrawal groups are used for the control and basal determinations. After incubation for 1 h at room temperature, plates are washed twice with T-PBS. Anti-phospho MBP antibody (0.2 μg/mL) is added to each well, and the plates are incubated for 1 h at room temperature. After washing, anti-mouse HRP-conjugated polyclonal antibodies are added and the plates are incubated for 30 min.

    Animal Administration
    [2]

    In brief, mice are randomized and grouped by body weight immediately before treatment. Bovine CII is dissolved in 0.1mol/Lacetic acid at the concentration of 10 mg/mL and then emulsified in an equal volume of Freund’s complete adjuvant H37Rv. Apart from a naive group, each mouse is immunized with 25 μL of the CII emulsion into the tail base, followed by a boost injection 3 weeks after primary injection (day 0). FR180204 and methylprednisolone are ground and suspended in 0.1% methylcellulose solution to a volume of 5 mL/kg. Drugs are given by twice daily intraperitoneal injection from days 0 to 12 in accordance with pharmacokinetic studies with superior area under the curve and Cmax values of i.p. versus s.c. or p.o. administration. The initial administration is 30 min before the boost CII injection. The clinical score of arthritis is obtained by summing the visual severity grade of each limb, scored as follows: 0, no arthritis; 1, one swollen digit; 2, two or more swollen digits or swelling of the entire paw without ankylosis; 3, gross swelling with ankylosis of the paw. Body weight is measured on day 12.

    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.
