D(+)-Galactosamine hydrochloride  (Synonyms: D-Galactosamine HCl)

Cat. No.: HY-42682 Purity: ≥98.0%
COA Handling Instructions

D(+)-Galactosamine (D-Galactosamine) hydrochloride, which is an established experimental toxin, primarily causes liver injury by the generation of free radicals and depletion of UTP nucleotides. D(+)-Galactosamine hydrochloride intoxication also induces renal dysfunction thus, renal failure is often associated with the end-stage of the liver damage. Lipopolysaccharide/D(+)-Galactosamine-induced acute liver injury is a known animal model of fulminant hepatic failure.

Description

D(+)-Galactosamine (D-Galactosamine) hydrochloride, which is an established experimental toxin, primarily causes liver injury by the generation of free radicals and depletion of UTP nucleotides. D(+)-Galactosamine hydrochloride intoxication also induces renal dysfunction thus, renal failure is often associated with the end-stage of the liver damage. Lipopolysaccharide/D(+)-Galactosamine-induced acute liver injury is a known animal model of fulminant hepatic failure[1][2].

In Vitro

D(+)-Galactosamine (5 mM, 0-24 h) hydrochloride induces apoptosis and necrosis in primary culture of rat hepatocytes, and induces caspase-3 activation and DNA fragmentation[3].

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

In Vivo

D-Galactosamine can be used to induce hepatitis models.

Induction of Hepatitis
Background
D-Galactosamine-induced hepatotoxicity is similar to viral hepatitis. D-Galactosamine induces the lipids peroxidation and thus leads to deterioration of cell membrane[5].
Specific Mmodeling Methods
Rat: Wistar • 110-180 g • female
Administration: 250 mg/kg • i.p. • 6 injection in 24 hours or 1.5 g/kg • i.p. • single dose
Note
For 250 mg/kg, 6 injections: first 3 of injections with 4 hours intervals, after 14 hours pause, the last 3 of injections with 1 hour intervals.
Modeling Indicators
Molecular changes: Increased bilirubin, hemoglobin, and enzyme activities of GOT, GPT and GIDH in serum. Depleted glycogen from hepatocytes. Decreased levels of adenine nucleotides and UDP-glucose in liver metabolite. Decreased serum proteins and prothrombin activity.
Morphology: Decreased weight and consistency of liver. Hemorrhages in several organs, particularly in gut and stomach.
Histological Analysis: Induced necrosis and inflammatory infiltration in periportal areas, induced appearance of councilman bodies, enlarged and increased kupffer cells.

Opposite Product(s): Bergenin (HY-N0017); Glycyrrhizin (HY-N0184); Bicyclol (HY-B0766); Chrysin (HY-14589)

Administration: i.p.
Result: Induces a model of acute liver failure, with necrosis in the liver.
Increased serum ALT and AST levels and serum inflammatory cytokine concentrations, such as TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-18.

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 (11.59 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 (11.59 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.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
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.

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.
