Ethyl 3 aminobenzoate methanesulfonate tricaine

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Ethyl 3-aminobenzoate methanesulfonate (Tricaine, MS-222) is a chemical compound commonly used as an anesthetic and sedative for aquatic organisms, such as fish and amphibians. It is a white, crystalline powder that is soluble in water. Tricaine acts by blocking sodium channels in the nervous system, which leads to the loss of sensation and movement in the organism.

Zebrafish lines in this study (Table S2) were handled in compliance with local animal welfare regulations, as overseen by the Animal Welfare Body of Leiden University (License number: 10612) and maintained according to standard protocols (zfin.org). Generation of the dram1 mutant was approved by the Animal Experimentation Committee of Leiden University (UDEC) under protocol 14198. All experiments were done on embryos or larvae up to 5 days post-fertilization, which have not yet reached the free-feeding stage. Embryos/larvae were kept in egg water (60 µg/ml Instant Ocean sea salts) containing 0.003% 1-phenyl-2-thiourea (PTU, Sigma-Aldrich) at 28.5 °C and treated with 0.02% ethyl 3-aminobenzoate methanesulfonate (Tricaine, Sigma-Aldrich) for anesthesia before bacterial injections, imaging and fixation.

Zebrafish were housed in recirculating filtered water system using reverse-osmosis purified water built by Aquatic Habitats (Aquatic Habitats, Apopka, FL, USA). Water was supplemented with Instant Ocean salt (60 mg/L) and maintained at 28.5°C with a 14-hour light and 10-hour dark cycle. Before experimental manipulation or tissue fixation, fish were anesthetized in 0.2 mg/mL ethyl 3-aminobenzoate methanesulfonate (tricaine) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). All experiments were performed in compliance with the ARVO Statement for the Use of Animals in Ophthalmic and Vision Research. The protocol was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the Medical College of Wisconsin, protocol number AUA1378.

Wildtype axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum) were obtained from the Ambystoma Genetic Stock Center (University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY) and were housed in standard conditions at 16°C in Holtfreter’s solution. Adult animals, 15–18 cm in length, were used for all experiments. Anesthesia was achieved by immersion in 0.03% ethyl-p-aminobenzoate (benzocaine; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) or 0.1% ethyl 3-aminobenzoate methanesulfonate (tricaine; Sigma-Aldrich). All animal experiments performed were approved by the Harvard University IACUC and were in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines.

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.
