Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | D609 at 100 μM for two hours greatly reduces edema in several cell lines [2]. After activating caspase-3 at 200 μM for two hours, D609 (100 μM; two hours) at 50, 100 μM significantly inhibited BrdU in BV-2 astrocytes. It occurs annually and results in a decrease in the number of cells in the S phase and an accumulation of cells in the G1 phase [2]. 100 μM; for two hours, then for two more hours or for twenty-two hours without D609) raises ceramide levels, boosts p21 expression, and causes phosphorylated Rb to drop [2]. |
| ln Vivo | In apoE-/-mice, D609 (2.5, 10 mg/kg/day; i.p.; for 6 weeks) inhibits the progression of preexisting atherosclerotic lesions, changing the event component to a more stable phenotype [3 LPS administered intratracheally (30 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) 30 minutes prior to LPS (3 mg/kg) prevents LPS-induced pulmonary hypertension in Island Wistar [4]. C57BL/6 WT and apoE−/− 26-week-old mice [3] |
| Cell Assay |
Cell Proliferation Assay[2] Cell Types: RAW 264.7 macrophages, N9 and BV-2 microglia, and DITNC1 astrocytes Tested Concentrations: 100 μM Incubation Duration: 2 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Dramatically attenuated RAW 264.7 macrophages , N9 and BV-2 microglia, and DITNC1 astrocytes without affecting cell viability. Apoptosis analysis[2] Cell Types: BV-2 Cell Tested Concentrations: 50, 100 and 200 μM Incubation Duration: 2 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Activation of caspase-3 in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Cell cycle analysis [2] Cell Types: BV-2 Cell Tested Concentrations: 100 μM Incubation Duration: 2 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Dramatically inhibited the incorporation of BrdU in BV-2 microglia, resulting in G1 phase cell aggregation and S phase cell number reduction phase. Western Blot Analysis[2] Cell Types: BV-2 Cell Tested Concentrations: 100 μM Incubation Duration: 2 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Increased ceramide levels, upregulation of p21 expression and resulting reduction in phospho-Rb. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: 26weeks old apoE−/− and C57BL/6 WT mice[3] Doses: 2.5, 10 mg/kg Route of Administration: IP; per day for 6 weeks Experimental Results:Inhibited the progression of preexisting atherosclerotic lesions in apoE−/− mice and changed the lesion composition into a more stable phenotype. Dramatically diminished the aortic endothelial expression of the vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and the intercellular adhesion molecule-1. |

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 30.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.
