Neuroleptic Drugs and PACAP38 Effects on T98G Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
T98G cells were treated with the neuroleptic drugs haloperidole, clozapine, amisulpride (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo., USA), and with peptide PACAP38 (H-8430, Bachem) and incubated for 24 and 72 h. All the neuroleptic drugs were initially dissolved in DMSO followed by a preparation of working concentrations in an appropriate medium. Control samples were treated with medium with DMSO in an amount corresponding to the concentration of the used drugs. The medium was changed every 2 days prior to drug/peptide treatment.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Amisulpride (AMS, purity 98%) and 2,2′-dipyridyl glyoxal (DPG) were provided by Sigma-Aldrich, Cairo, Egypt, and were used as received. Nickel nitrate, sodium citrate, and potassium hexacyanoferrate were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. The voltammetric study was carried out in the pH range from 5.5 to 9.0 using Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer. Double-distilled water was used for the preparation of different buffer solutions, standard solutions, and electrolytes. All chemicals were of analytical reagent grade and were used as received.

Psychotropic Drug Effects on NT2-N Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NT2-N cells were treated for 24 h (n = 4–6) with 8 commonly prescribed psychotropic drugs purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Sydney, Australia): amisulpride (10 µM), aripiprazole (0.1 µM), clozapine (10 µM), lamotrigine (50 µM), lithium (2.5 mM), quetiapine (50 µM), risperidone (0.1 µM) or valproate (0.5 mM). These drug doses were chosen according to previous dose–response studies in our laboratory such that no single drug dominated the overall effect on gene expression when used in combination nor affected cell viability [58 (link)]. Vehicle control cells were treated with either 0.5% Milli-Q water (controls for lithium and valproate) or 0.2% DMSO (controls for amisulpride, aripiprazole, clozapine, risperidone, lamotrigine and quetiapine).

Antipsychotic Drug Cytotoxicity Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The main chemicals used in this study, including FGAs (chlorpromazine, chlorprothixene, clothiapine, droperidol, flupentixol, fluphenazine, haloperidol, levomepromazine, loxapine, pimozide, prochlorperazine, sulpiride, thioridazine, and trifluoperazine) and SGAs (amisulpride, aripiprazole, brexpiprazole, clozapine, lurasidone, olanzapine, paliperidone, quetiapine, risperidone, ziprasidone, and zotepine) were acquired from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, Missouri, USA) and were of highest purity grade. Before usage, the compounds were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at the proper concentrations. Human hepatoma HepaRG™ cells were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, Massachusetts, USA). For 2 weeks, frozen cells were defrosted and kept alive in Williams’ E medium (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri, USA) with 10% FetalClone™ II serum (HycloneTM, GE Healthcare, Chicago, Illinois, USA), 1 × L-glutamine, 5 μg/mL human insulin, and 50 μM hydrocortisone hemisuccinate without antibiotics as supplements. To produce differentiated hepatocyte-like features, the medium was then changed to the aforementioned medium plus 2% DMSO for an additional 2 weeks. Cells were grown at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 environment. P-nitrophenylphosphate (PNPP) was used in an acid phosphatase (ACP) experiment to measure cell viability (29 (link)).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Paraoxon-ethyl was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Oxime K027 (purities > 98%) was synthesized at the Department of Toxicology and Military Pharmacy of the Faculty of Military Health Sciences (University of Defense, Hradec Kralove). Paraoxon-ethyl-D10, 4-nitrophenol solution (5000 μg/mL in methanol), 4-nitrophenol-2,3,5,6-D4, atropine solution (1.0 mg/mL in acetonitrile), and amisulpride were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). LC/MS grade acetonitrile, LC/MS grade methanol, LC grade chloroform, ammonium formate, and formic acid were purchased from Honeywell (Charlotte, NC, USA). All other drugs and chemicals of analytical grade were obtained commercially (Sigma-Aldrich) and were used without further purification. All substances were administered intramuscularly (i.m.) at a volume of 10 mL/kg b.w. to mice.

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.
