Cannabinoids and Sesquiterpenes Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The chemicals β-caryophyllene (≥98.5% purity), β-caryophyllene oxide (≥99% purity), α-humulene (≥96.0% purity), cannabidiol (CBD, ≥99.0% purity), cannabichromene (CBC, ≥99.0% purity), 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT, ≥97.5% purity) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich Co (St. Louis, MO, USA), while AM281 (≥98.0% purity) and AM630 (≥98.0% purity) from Tocris bioscience (Bristol, UK). Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) was provided by Aurogene (Rome, Italy).
To perform the experiments, all the solutions were prepared in the appropriate solvent, sterilized, and stored at the recommended temperature for a conservation time. Nonintoxicating phytocannabinoids (i.e., cannabidiol and cannabichromene) and caryophyllane sesquiterpenes (i.e., β-caryophyllene, β-caryophyllene oxide, and α-humulene) were dissolved in EtOH 100% v/v, while the CB1 and CB2 receptor antagonists (i.e., AM281 and AM630) in DMSO 100% v/v. EtOH and DMSO were used at a maximum concentration of 1% v/v in cell medium to avoid any cytotoxicity.

Standardization of Black Pepper for Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Black pepper (BP) was provided by Ottogi Vietnam Co., Ltd. and obtained from Shinyoung (Gwangju, Gyeonggi, Korea). These BP (5 mm, about 0.02 g) were harvested in 2020. They were dried to a moisture content of < 17%. The samples were stored in a shaded place until analysis. To obtain uniform-sized samples prior to analysis, the BP was ground using a high-speed blender for approximately 1 min. At this time, it was carefully and smoothly crushed to prevent any temperature increase. This is because, as the temperature increases, the quantity and quality of the components extracted from samples decrease (Liu et al., 2018 ). The crushed BP was sieved with a particle size of 425 µm to obtain a fine powder. It was used immediately to minimize the loss of the components in the sample.
Standard chemicals, including trans-caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene) and β-caryophyllene oxide, were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). All chemicals and solvents were graded as gas chromatography. The solvent was mainly used from methanol (99.9% purity) and n-hexane (95% purity).

Paracetamol, β-caryophyllene oxide, methiothepin, glibenclamide, [1 ,2 (link),4 (link)] oxadiazolo [4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ), N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (l-NAME), and l-arginine were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA), and naloxone was acquired from Pisa Laboratories (Mexico City, Mexico). All drugs were suspended in carboxymethylcellulose (0.1%) and prepared minutes before being given to the animals. β-caryophyllene oxide and Paracetamol were administered orally (0.1 mL/10 g of body weight). Naloxone, methiothepin, l-NAME, ODQ, l-arginine, and glibenclamide were injected intraperitoneally (0.1 mL/10 g of body weight). Formalin (2%) was prepared by diluting aqueous formaldehyde to 37% from J.T. Baker (Matsonford Rd. Radnor Township, PA, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All the chemicals, including β-caryophyllene (≥98.5% purity), β-caryophyllene oxide (95% purity), doxorubicin hydrochloride (98.0%–102.0% purity), rhodamine and ethanol (EtOH; ≥99.5% purity) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich Co (St. Louis, MO, USA). Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium Ham’s F12 (DMEM-F12) was provided by Aurogene (Rome, Italy). The sources of antibodies and materials for molecular biology analysis were specified in the relative paragraphs. To perform the experiments, all solutions were prepared in the better solvent, sterilized and stored for a just conservation time at recommended temperature. The natural sesquiterpenes and doxorubicin were dissolved in EtOH 100% v/v and deionized water, respectively, and hence were diluted in the complete medium. In order to avoid any cytotoxicity, EtOH was used at a maximum concentration of 1% v/v in the medium.

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.
