In Vitro

Amphotericin B administration is limited by infusion-related toxicity, including fever and chills, an effect postulated to result from proinflammatory cytokine production by innate immune cells. Amphotericin B induces signal transduction and inflammatory cytokine release from cells expressing TLR2 and CD14[1]. Amphotericin B interacts with cholesterol, the major sterol of mammal membranes, thus limiting the usefulness of Amphotericin B due to its relatively high toxicity. Amphotericin B is dispersed as a pre-micellar or as a highly aggregated state in the subphase[2]. Amphotericin B only kills unicellular Leishmania promastigotes (LPs) when aqueous pores permeable to small cations and anions are formed. Amphotericin B (0.1 mM) induces a polarization potential, indicating K+ leakage in KCl-loaded liposomes suspended in an iso-osmotic sucrose solution. Amphotericin B (0.05 mM) exhibits a nearly total collapse of the negative membrane potential, indicating Na+ entry into the cells[3].

In Vivo

Amphotericin B results in prolonging the incubation time and decreasing PrPSc accumulation in the hamster scrapie model. Amphotericin B markedly reduces PrPSc levels in mice with transmissible subacute spongiform encephalopathies (TSSE)[4]. Amphotericin B exerts a direct effect on Plasmodium falciparum and influences eryptosis of infected erythrocytes, parasitemia, and host survival in murine malaria. Amphotericin B tends to delay the increase of parasitemia and significantly delays host death plasmodium berghei-infected mice[5].

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: 10 mg/mL (10.82 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic and warming

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 10 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (100.0 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: 10 mg/mL (10.82 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic and warming

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 10 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (100.0 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.

THP-1 and HEK293 cells are transiently transfected using DEAE-dextran and Polyfect reagent, respectively. Plasmids transfected contain genes coding for the NF-κB-dependent pELAM-luc luciferase reporter, TLR2, TLR4, CD14, and MD2. Cells (5×105 THP-1 or 1×105 HEK293) are added to 12-well plates, washed after 18 h, and stimulated for 5 h. Cells are then lysed with reporter lysis buffer as directed, and lysates are analyzed for luminescence using Promega luciferase substrate and a Monolight 3010 luminometer.

Cell Assay
[3]

The kinetics of cell death induced by AmB against Leishmania promastigotes is followed by using fluorometry with the DNA-binding compound ethidium bromide (EB). Fluorescence measurements are performed on a SPEX Fluorolog II spectrophotometer at 365-580 nm excitation-emission wavelengths. Promastigotes at a final concentration of 25×106 cells/mL are incubated for 5 min with gentle stirring in the fluorescence cuvette with 2 mL of different buffered solutions but always containing 10 mM glucose and EB (50 mM). After signal stabilization is achieved, AmB is added and dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide. Maximal EB incorporation is always obtained by adding digitonin (50 mg/mL). All solutions used are buffered with 75 mM TRIS (pH 4 7.6) and contain 150 mM NaCl (BNa+), 150 mM KCl (BK+), 150 mM choline chloride, and 100 mM sucrose, 100 mM NaCl. The osmolarity of all solutions is always adjusted to 390±5 mOsm using an advanced instrument SW2 osmometer.

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.
