Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Leelamine hydrochloride (Tocris Biosciences, Ellisville, MO) was encapsulated into a nanoliposome (called Nanolipolee-007) prepared by combining egg L-α-Phosphatidylcholine (ePC) and 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphoethanolamine-N-[Methoxy(Polyethylene glycol)-2000] ammonium salt (DPPE-PEG-2000) in chloroform at 80:20 mol% and a final lipid concentration of 25 mg/mL in buffer solution (Avanti Polar Lipids Inc- Alabaster, AL). The same lipid formulation was found to load Abietic acid (Sigma Chemical Co. St. Louis, MO) and an empty control nanoliposome was also made. 7.5 mg of leelamine hydrochloride and/or Abietic acid (in methanol) was added to 1.0 mL of nanoliposome solution resulting in a 22.6 mM concentration. Mixture was then dried under nitrogen gas and resuspended in 0.9% saline at 60°C. Following rehydration, the mixture was sonicated at 60°C for 30 minutes followed by extrusion at 60°C through a 100-nm polycarbonate membrane using Avanti Mini Extruder (Avanti Polar Lipids Inc- Alabaster, AL). The particle size and charge characteristics were determined using a Malvern Zetasizer (Malvern Instruments, UK)

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.
