Description

Nisin Z is an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory peptide. Nisin Z is effective against Gram-positive bacteria and fungi, such as C. albicans[1][4].

In Vitro

Nisin Z (10 μg/mL, 24 h) increases gingival fibroblasts detachment and differentiation[2].
Nisin Z (25-75 μg/mL, 24 h) decreases C. albicans adhesion to the gingival cells[2].
Nisin Z (500 and 1000 μg/mL, 24 h) inhibits germ tube formation by C. albicans[3].
Nisin Z (100 μg/mL, 12 h) reduces the production of LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines (i.e., IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β) in MCF10A cells[4].
Nisin Z (10-100 μg/mL, 12 h) inhibits the activation of the ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK signaling pathway in LPS-induced MCF10A cells[4].

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

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    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 0.2 mg/mL (0.06 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.2 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 (2.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 0.2 mg/mL (0.06 mM); Clear solution

Method for preparing in vivo working solution for animal experiments: Take μL DMSO stock solution, add μL . μL , mix evenly, next add μL Tween 80, mix evenly, then add μL Saline.
 If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist 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.
