Synthesis and Evaluation of CU06-1004

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CU06-1004, previously described as sac-1004, was synthesized as described previously.19 Briefly, CU06-1004 was tetrahydropyran-deprotected and subsequently glycosylated with 4, 6-di-O-acetyl-2,3-didieoxyhex-2-enopyran in the presence of acid. Mesalazine was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA. CU06-1004 and Mesalazine were dissolved in olive oil. Since CU06-1004 was observed to be most effective at a dose of 10 mg/kg, that was the dose used in all experiments (Figure S1 in Supplementary Material).

CE Electrolyte Preparation and Drug Standards

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The CE electrolyte solution was prepared from ammonium acetate adjusted to pH 9.0 by 3% (v/v) ammonium hydroxide and with an addition of 5% (v/v) methanol; all chemicals were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany). The used chemicals were of analytical or LC-MS grade. Demineralized water for the preparation of electrolyte and sample solutions was produced by a Millipore Simplicity 185 (UV) water purification system (Millipore, Molsheim, France). The electrolyte solution was filtered before use through nylon membrane filters of a 0.22 μm pore size (Millipore, Molsheim, France).
The drug standards, namely, prednisone, 6-thioguanine, 6-mercaptopurine monohydrate, allopurinol, azathioprine, mesalazine, and 6-methylmercaptopurine were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were randomly assigned to four groups numbering 4–6 mice: control, DSS, DSS+mesalazine, and DSS+1004. The control group received distilled water (no colitis induction). Mice in the other groups received a 3% aqueous solution (w/v) of DSS (M.W. = 36,000–50,000 Da) (MP Biochemicals, Solon, OH, USA) ad libitum for 7 days, replaced every other day (Kim et al., 2012 (link)). Control- and DSS-group mice received vehicle (olive oil) by oral gavage 24 h after DSS was provided. The DSS+1004 group received oral 1,004 (10 mg/kg body weight, dissolved in olive oil), and the DSS+mesalazine group received oral mesalazine (Sigma-Aldrich; 100 mg/kg body weight, dissolved in olive oil). Each experiment was repeated four times.

Argon-Deoxygenated PBS with 5-ASA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As microdialysis perfusate A argon-deoxygenated (5 min) and urea-enriched (final concentration 20 mmol/L) phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) was used. 5-ASA, also known as mesalazine (Sigma-Aldrich), was added to this solution (final concentration 1 mmol/L) as an anti-inflammatory substance to produce microdialysis perfusate B. Both solutions were prepared on day 1 and used throughout the whole experiment. Five-day stability of these solutions without precipitate formation was verified spectrophotometrically at room temperature and exposure to daylight.

TGFβ-Induced Fibrosis Model and Mesalazine Treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TGFβ is one of the most potent inductors of virtually all types of fibrosis (Rockey et al. 2015 ). Unless stated otherwise, 24 h after seeding, the cells were stimulated with TGFβ (10 ng/mL in medium) (100-21C, Peprotech, USA) for 72 h, followed by either 72 h of medium (solvent control) or 10 mmol/L mesalazine (A3537, Sigma-Aldrich, USA) solved in medium (Fig. 1). TGFβ treatment followed by solvent control is stated as “TGFβ” in the results, whereas TGFβ treatment followed by mesalazine is stated as “TGFβ + Mesa.” Medium and drugs (TGFβ and mesalazine) were changed daily.

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.
