Description

Tiron is a non-toxic chelator of a variety of metals. Tiron is cell permeable analog of vitamin E and function as hydroxyl radical and superoxide scavenger. Tiron is an orally active antioxidant. Tiron can be used to alleviate acute metal overload in animals[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Tiron (10 mM) protects Chinese hamster V79 cells against H2O2-induced cytotoxicity[1].
Tiron (0-20 mM) protects supercoiled DNA from metal-mediated superoxide-dependent strand breaks[1].
Tiron (50 nM-200 nM, 48 h) inhibits HG-induced neonatal rat cardiomyocytes apoptosis[3].
Tiron (50 nM-200 nM, 48 h) reduces intracellular osteopontin in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes[3].
Tiron (0.2 mM, 2 h) inhibits UVB-induced up-regulation of MMP-1 and MMP-3 in HDFs[4].
Tiron (0.7 mM, 48 h) increases the percentage of PT4 cells in both the S and G2/M phases[5].

Cell Cycle Analysis[5]

Cell Line: PT4 cells
Concentration: 0.7 mM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Increased the percentage of PT4 cells in S and G2/M phases, along with a reduction of cells in the G0/G1 phase.
In Vivo

Tiron (200 mg/kg, oral gavage) ameliorates oxidative stress and inflammation in a murine model of airway remodeling[2].
Tiron (300 mg/kg, i.p., daily for two weeks) alleviated apoptosis of the left ventricular cardiomyocytes in STZ-induced diabetic mice[3].

Administration: Oral gavage.
Result: Inhibited levels of NOx, IL-13 and TGF-β1, and immunoreactivity of NF-κB.
Animal Model: STZ-induced diabetic mice[3]
Dosage: 300 mg/kg
Administration: i.p., daily for two weeks.
Result: Reduced the levels of total oxidized proteins and advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-related proteins.

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 (6.62 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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.62 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 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 (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
