Product Description

Diquafosol tetrasodium (Diquas; INS-365) is a novel and potent P2Y2 purinoceptor agonist that stimulates fluid and mucin secretion on the ocular surface, and is used as a topical treatment of dry eye disease.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
P2Y2 receptor
ln Vitro
Cell viability was significantly reduced after treatment with 30% diquafosol tetrasodium for 1 hour and 10% and 20% diquafosol tetrasodium for 6 hours. 24 hours after monolayer cell damage, wound healing was significantly aggravated by 3% diquafosol tetrasodium and 0.3% HCEC [1].
ln Vivo
In a mini-dry eye model, the P2Y2 agonist tetraphosphonate was found to restore surface health based on increased tear production, corneal epithelial resistance, and the release of glycoproteins from goblet cells. Beginning in week 2 and continuing for 2 weeks, the maximum decrease in dye-extrasigma rate was approximately 50% at doses as low as 1% of diquafosol tetrasodium [2]. Diquafosol tetrasodium can significantly interfere with potential damage when the concentration exceeds 0.1% w/v [3].
Cell Assay
The MTT assay is used to assess the viability of human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs). Diquafosol (100%, 20%, or 30% diluted) or DMEM (100 mL) is added to controls when the cells are subconfluent. To get rid of the medications, plates are cleaned three times using PBS after one, six, and twenty-four hours. After a 24-hour incubation period, cell viability is assessed. Next, each well receives an addition of MTT. After 4 hours of dark incubation at 37°C, the samples are removed from the media. The precipitates are reconstituted in DMSO. At 570 nm, absorbances are measured using a plate reader[1].
Animal Protocol
Rats: The Schirmer test score was at least 50% lower in an SD rat dry eye model after exorbital lacrimal gland extraction. INS365-containing eye drops are administered six times a day for the following four weeks at concentrations ranging from 0.03% to 3.0% after eight weeks, at which point there have been noticeable increases in corneal epithelial permeability. Measurements of fluorescein penetrance obtained with a modified anterior fluorometer at 1, 2, and 4 weeks following initial application are used to assess the function of the corneal barrier. The periodic acid-Schiff reagent (PAS)-stained area is assessed in histologic sections of the bulbar and tarsal conjunctiva following INS365 application[2].

Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
