| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for hemipyocyanine use various cell types, including bacteria and eukaryotic cells. For antimicrobial studies, bacteria are treated with hemipyocyanine, and growth inhibition is measured by optical density or colony counting. For eukaryotic cell studies, cell lines are treated with hemipyocyanine, and cell viability is measured using MTT or CCK-8 assays. Apoptosis is assessed by flow cytometry or by measuring caspase activity. ROS production is measured using fluorescent probes.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for hemipyocyanine are conducted in models of infection and inflammation. In models of P. aeruginosa infection, animals are infected with the bacterium, and the role of hemipyocyanine in pathogenesis is assessed by comparing the effects of wild-type and mutant strains. In inflammation models, animals are treated with hemipyocyanine, and inflammatory markers and tissue damage are assessed.

Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

| 10 mM | 0.5097 mL | 2.5484 mL | 5.0968 mL |
*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
