Description

Alloxan hydrate is a diabetogenic agent to induce diabetes. Alloxan hydrate is a proteasome inhibitor. Alloxan causes diabetes in experimental animals through its ability to destroy the insulin-secreting B-cells of the pancreas[1][2].

In Vitro

Alloxan hydrate inhibits the peptidase activities of the purified 26S and 20S proteasomes[1].

In Vivo

Alloxan hydrate can be used in animal modeling to create diabetes models. Administration of Alloxan hydrate leads to a sharp increase in blood glucose levels in mice, peaking at 45 minutes. Two hours after administration, blood glucose levels decrease to near-hypoglycemic levels, reaching the lowest blood glucose level at 6 hours[3].

Induction of diabetes[3]
Background
Alloxan hydrate induces diabetes by destroying the pancreas that produces insulin and has a toxic effect on β cells.
Specific Mmodeling Methods
Mice: albino NMRI • female • 20-25 g
Administration: 70 mg/kg • i.v.
Note
(1) Alloxan hydrate is dissolved in hydrochloric acid (pH=5) and administered via tail vein injection within 10 minutes after dissolution.
(2) Blood sampling was done through the eye socket, with 25μL and 250μL taken to measure blood glucose and plasma insulin levels, respectively.
(3) Blood glucose and plasma insulin levels were measured using enzyme and immunoassays, respectively. Mice with blood glucose levels reaching or exceeding 200 mg/100 mL are considered diabetic.
Modeling Indicators
Molecular changes: Blood sugar levels rise, glycogen in the liver decreases, and insulin levels increase during hypoglycemia.

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 (15.62 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 (15.62 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.

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.
