Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The bioactive substances gut-A and 7-epi were studied. These substances were obtained from fruits of Garcinia brasiliensis (Martins F.T. et al., 2009 (link)), cultivated in the herbarium of the Universidade Federal de Viçosa (Viçosa, MG, Brazil), being the voucher specimen of the species, deposited under the number VIC2604.
The working solutions were prepared by the addition of 500 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, VETEC, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) to 1 mg of each lyophilized substance, followed by the addition of 500 μL of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) to a final concentration of 1 mg/mL in 50% DMSO.
The following antibiotics used in the treatment of bovine mastitis were tested: ampicillin (AMP), ceftriaxone (CRO), amoxicillin with clavulanate (AMC), and gentamicin (GEN). Working solutions were prepared at a final concentration of 1 mg/mL in PBS.
Bioactive substances and antibiotics were tested on both isolates in triplicate and with four replicates. The working solutions were prepared on the day of the experiment in order to avoid possible degradation.

Murine Macrophage Cytotoxicity Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Murine macrophages (J774.A1, Rio de Janeiro Cell Bank, Brazil) were seeded in 96-well plates (1 × 105 mL−1) and incubated with compounds at 37 °C/5% CO2 for 48 h at concentrations of 0.25–250 µg·mL−1 to estimate IC50. Amphotericin B (Sigma-Aldrich®) was used as the reference drug (0.025–25 µg·mL−1). Cell growth was evaluated according to Skehan et al. [38 (link)] using the sulforhodamine B assay. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, Vetec®, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) was used as negative control at the concentration used to solubilize the highest concentration of compounds. IC50 was calculated by nonlinear regression curve. Selectivity index was calculated according to Medeiros et al. [39 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
