|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro assays for Nigakinone typically measure anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. Anti-inflammatory activity is assessed by measuring inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine production (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6) in LPS-stimulated macrophages. Antimicrobial activity is assessed by broth microdilution methods against bacterial or fungal strains. Anticancer activity is assessed by MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays in cancer cell lines (e.g., CNE-2). IC₅₀ values are calculated from dose-response curves. Controls include vehicle and reference compounds.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cell-based assays, relevant cell lines (e.g., CNE-2 cancer cells, macrophages, or inflammatory bowel disease models) are cultured in DMEM or RPMI-1640 with 10% FBS. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with Nigakinone at various concentrations for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or CellTiter-Glo. Cytokine levels are measured by ELISA. Apoptosis is assessed by flow cytometry or caspase assays. All treatments include vehicle controls and are performed in triplicate.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo, Nigakinone may be administered orally or intraperitoneally to rodents. For ulcerative colitis models, compound is administered during disease induction. Disease activity index, colon length, and histological scores are assessed. Inflammatory cytokine levels in colon tissue are measured by ELISA. For cancer models, tumor volume and survival are monitored. All procedures follow institutional animal care guidelines.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
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).

*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.
