Product Description

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In ATRA-sensitive APL NB4 cells, bestatin promotes ATRA-induced differentiation and prevents ATRA-driven p38 MAPK phosphorylation. The differentiation block in ATRA-resistant APL MR2 cells is not reversed by bestatin. When CD13 is bound to the anti-CD13 antibody WM-15, p38 MAPK is phosphorylated, Bestatin's inhibitory effect on p38 MAPK phosphorylation is lessened, and Bestatin's improvement of ATRA-induced NB4 cell differentiation is totally eliminated [2]. Cells treated with bestatin (600 μM) underwent slower cell cycle progression because their frequency of cell division and growth were decreased. Between 0-600 μM, bestatin does not cause cytotoxicity to D. discoideum cells, but it does suppress the frequency of mitosis and intrinsic multinucleation in these cells. In PsaA-GFP and GFP-expressing cell lysates, bestatin reduced aminopeptidase activity by 69.39% ± 10.5% and 39.93% ± 18.7% of the control, respectively [4].
ln Vivo
When compared to diabetic vehicle-treated mice, bestatin (20 μM) dramatically inhibited MMP-9-specific gel resolution band density and considerably lowered CD13 expression in diabetic mice. In diabetic mice, treatment with betatin markedly reduced the expression of heparanase and VEGF. In the retina of diabetic mice, intravitreal betatin therapy markedly reduced the expression of VEGF and HIF-1α. Moreover, the administration of intravitreal betatin markedly suppressed the elevated expression of heparanase in the retina of mice with diabetes [1]. Prior to augmenting the humoral response to SRBC antigens, treatment with Bestatin (10, 1, and 0.1 mg/kg, i.p.) produced hemolytic anti-SRBC antibodies (PFC) in the spleen and 2-ME resistant serum hemagglutinin titers. a rise in cell count (dose: 0.1 mg/kg). After cyclophosphamide injection, mice were given bestatin (1 and 0.1 mg/kg) five times the following day. This did not alter the drug's inhibitory effect on PFC numbers and, in fact, caused a further decrease in total anti-SRBC hemagglutinin at the antigen stimulation level. On the seventh day, it is 1 mg/kg [3].
Cell Assay
Growing cells (1×106 to 2×106 cells/mL) are diluted to 1.0×103 cells/mL and transferred (3 mL) into a well in a 12-well multiwell plate (2.5-cm diameter/well). Cells are treated with 0, 10, 50, 100, 300, or 600 μM Bestatin and allowed to grow at 21°C shaking at 180 rpm for 48 h. A hemocytometer is used to measure cell density after 0, 24, and 48 h.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 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.

*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.

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
