Description

Cefazolin (Cephazolin) is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic and can be used in varieties of bacterial infections research[1]. Cefazolin has anti-inflammatory effect and can attenuate post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD)[2].

IC50 & Target

β-lactam

 

In Vitro

Cefazolin (0-300 μg/ml; 6 or 24 h) has a direct anti-inflammatory effect on C8-B4 cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide[2].
Cefazolin (0-400 μM; 72 h) treatment inhibits IL-2, IL-4 and IL-15-induced cell proliferation[3].
Cefazolin (100-400 μM; 30 min) treatment inhibits IL-2, IL-4, IL-15 and IL-21-stimulated JAK3 phosphorylation[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Viability Assay[2]

Cell Line: C8-B4 cells
Concentration: 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, or 300 μg/ml
Incubation Time: 6 or 24 hours
Result: Inhibited the increase of IL-1β at all doses, but inhibited the increase of IL-6 only at 200 μg/ml.

Cell Proliferation Assay[3]

Cell Line: PBMC, and TF-1 cells
Concentration: 0, 100, 200, and 400 μM
Incubation Time: 72 hours
Result: Reduced IL-2, IL-4 and IL-15-induced cell proliferation, suggested that Cefazolin interferes not only with IL-15Rα, but also with IL-2/IL-15Rβ and/or γc.

Cell Proliferation Assay[3]

Cell Line: PBMC, NK-92, and TF-1 cells
Concentration: 0, 100, 200, and 400 μM
Incubation Time: 30 min
Result: Diminished the phosphorylation of JAK3 in response to the cytokine treatment, concluded suppressing signal transduction by γc receptors.
In Vivo

Cefazolin sodium pentahydrate (Subcutaneous injection; 300-500 mg/kg; once daily; 5 d) treatment improves learning and memory in mice after surgery[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: 6- to 8-week-old male CD-1 mice underwent clinical exploratory laparotomy[2]
Dosage: 300-500 mg/kg
Administration: Subcutaneous injection; 300-500 mg/kg; once daily; 5 days
Result: Attenuated learning and memory dysfunction induced by the surgery.

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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.58 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.58 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.
