Sorafenib Tosylate API Validation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sorafenib tosylate was obtained from Diamondback Drugs (Scottsdale, AZ, USA). The active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) was validated for identity by the International Analytical Laboratory, in Castle Rock, CO, USA. The active ingredient was assayed using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC). This instrument was fitted with a photodiode array having a C18 column and a mobile phase of trifluoroacetic acid and acetonitrile. The reference standard of Sorafenib tosylate was obtained from LC Laboratories (Woburn, MA, USA). The identity of the sample was confirmed by matching the retention time and ultraviolet (UV) spectrum with that of the reference standard. The tested Sorafenib tosylate API powder was determined to be 99% potent.

Sorafenib base and sorafenib tosylate were purchased from LC Laboratories (Woburn, MA, USA). For the in vitro study, sorafenib base was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). To prepare the stock solutions for the in vivo study, sorafenib tosylate was dissolved in Cremophor EL/ethanol (50:50, v/v) at 4× concentration and then diluted with sterile water to 1× concentration. MISSION® shRNA lentiviral transduction particles containing the shRNA sequence targeting the coding region of HTATIP2 gene (TRCN0000280445) and MISSION® TRC2 pLKO.5-puro non-target shRNA control transduction particles (Catalog number: SHC216V) were purchased from Millipore Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA). All other chemicals, solvents and reagents were obtained from commercial sources.

Evaluating Synergistic Drug Combinations

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PD0325901, sorafenib tosylate, dasatinib (LC Laboratories, Woburn, MA, USA), rapamycin doxorubicin, Nutlin-3a, SGX-523 (Selleck, Houston, TX, USA), and KT5270 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) were prepared in DMSO (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Cells were seeded into a 96-well plate using an epMotion 5075 pipetting system (Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany). Treatments began when cells reached 30% confluency. Cells were treated for 72 h. Cell viability was measured using the CellTiter 96 Aqueous Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Assays were measured using a Benchmark Plus microplate spectrophotometer (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) at 490 and 700 nm reference wavelengths. Cell viability was performed twice in duplicate wells. Treated wells were normalized to non-treated wells and then were normalized to DMSO-treated plates. The concentration of compound required to cause 50% inhibition of cell viability (IC50) was calculated (23 (link)). A combinatorial index was calculated following Chou and Talalay (23 (link)). If a drug combination resulting in synergy (CI<1) that combination was repeated for a total of three separate experiments in duplicate wells. The IC50 and CI were then calculated as previously described (23 (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.
