In Vitro

Tube formation ability is restored when microvascular endothelial cells are preincubated with BOS or macitentan (ACT-064992), also reducing the expression of mesenchymal markers and restoring CD31 expression and the imbalance between VEGF-A and VEGF-A165b[1].
Macitentan inhibits OATP1B1-mediated uptake of atorvastatin and OATP1B3-mediated uptake of estrone-3-sulfate with IC50 ± SE values of 6.3 ± 0.7 and 11.8 ± 5.0?μM, respectively[3].
Treatment with macitentan or with ACT-132577 does not lead to intracellular accumulation of R123 in HeyA8-MDR, showing that these compounds are not P-gp inhibitors[4].

In Vivo

Macitentan (ACT-064992; 25 mg/kg/day, p.o.) prevents increased production of vasoactive and fibrogenic factors, NF-κB activation, structural and functional changes, and increases extracellular matrix protein production in type 2 diabetes in type 2 diabetes[2].
Macitentan (10 mg/kg, p.o.) coupled with once-per-week 5 mg/kg taxol, significantly reduces the weight (size) of HeyA8-MDR tumors in mice. Combination therapy with macitentan (10 or 50 mg/kg, but not 5 mg/kg) and taxol or macitentan (10 mg/kg) and cisplatinum significantly reduces the number of proliferating Ki-67-positive cells[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 (4.25 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 (4.25 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.

Animal Administration
[2]

Male db/db mice and age and sex-matched controls (27-32 g) are used for the assay. RandomLy selected diabetic animals are monitored for either 2 months or for 4 months after onset of diabetes. Groups (n=7/group) of the diabetic mice are subjected to oral macitentan treatment for the same period (25 mg/kg/day, food admix). The animals are monitored through assessment of body weight and blood glucose.

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.
