Ivacaftor vx 770

Manufactured by Selleck Chemicals
Sourced in Germany, United States

Ivacaftor (VX-770) is a laboratory compound that functions as a potentiator of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. It is used in research and development settings to study the regulation and function of CFTR, which is important in cystic fibrosis and other genetic disorders.

Cystic Fibrosis Modulator Screening

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Culture media and supplements used in this article were those described in Gianotti and co-workers [27 (link)]. Ivacaftor (VX770), tezacaftor (VX-661) and elexacaftor (VX-445) were purchased from Selleck Chemicals (Munich, Germany). If not explicitly indicated in the text all other chemicals were provided by Merck (Milan, Italy). CFTR modulators were dissolved in DMSO to have a final concentration of the vehicle in the solutions in contact with the cells ≤ 0.1%.

Dual-Drug Eluting Biodegradable Stent

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ciprofloxacin HCl (99.5% purity) was purchased from GenHunter Corporation (Nashville, TN). Ivacaftor (VX-770) was obtained from Selleckchem (Houston, TX). Poly (D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) was purchased from PolySciTech (West Layfeyette, IN). All other chemicals and reagents used in this study were procured from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). As previously described, biodegradable poly-D/L-lactic acid (PLLA) tubes were obtained from Zeus Inc (Orangeburg, SC) and laser fine cutting (Laserage Technology Corporation, Waukegan, IL) was employed to create porous stents for the experiments, conforming to the size of the rabbit maxillary sinus, 1 cm in length and 0.3 cm in height.6 (link),11 (link) Eudragit RS 100 (a copolymer of ethyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and a low content of methacrylic acid ester with quaternary ammonium groups) was used for time-controlled drug release by sustained release formulations.12 (link) Ciprofloxacin (hydrophilic) and ivacaftor (hydrophobic) PLGA nanoparticles were coated in the inner and outer layer respectively.11 (link),13 (link) A total of 0.6mg of ciprofloxacin (10 times higher than the in vitro stent with the AUC0–24/MIC far in excess of the minimum goal (>100)) and 1 mg of ivacaftor (3 times higher than the in vitro stent) were successfully coated on the PLLA stents for the in vivo assay.10 (link)

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary mouse macrophages (BMDMs) were cultured in Iscove’s (IMDM media + 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS)). Cells were treated with CFTR modulators for 24 h at the following concentrations: 10 µM of tezacaftor (VX-661) (S7059, Selleckchem, Houston, TX, USA) and 5 µM of ivacaftor (VX-770) (S1144, Selleckchem). In vitro infections were performed as previously described (Krause et al., 2019 (link); Estfanous et al., 2021 (link)).

Comprehensive Odorant Preparation and Pharmacological Inhibition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Unless otherwise stated, all odorants of the highest purity available were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (SI Appendix, Table S1). Odorants were freshly prepared on each day of the experiments; they were first reconstituted in DMSO and serially diluted in the appropriate buffer or media. The following pharmacological inhibitors were reconstituted in DMSO, kept at −20 °C, and diluted in the appropriate buffer or media prior to experiments: gallein, U73122, iberiotoxin, charybdotoxin, MRS1845, CaCCinh-A01, H89, CFTRinh-172 (all from Tocris), SQ22536 (Abcam), l-cis diltiazem (Enzo Life Sciences), verapamil (Sigma), and ivacaftor (VX-770, Selleck).

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.
