Oridonin Cytotoxicity Assays and Mechanism

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Oridonin was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). For in vitro studies, Oridonin was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to create a stock solution (0.1 mol/L), which was stored at −20°C.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Male C57BL/6 mice were obtained from HyoSung Science (Daegu, Korea) and maintained at a temperature of at 20-24°C and humidity of 60-70%. The mice were grouped into three groups (n = 8 per group): the control group, the CP group, and the CP+Ori group. The CP group received a single intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin (20 mg/kg; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). The CP+Ori group was given an intraperitoneal administration of oridonin (15 mg/kg; dissolved in DMSO; Sigma-Aldrich) daily for 3 consecutive days, starting from 1 hour after cisplatin injection. The control group received intraperitoneal injections of an equal volume of DMSO daily for 3 consecutive days. All mice were sacrificed 72 hours after a single dose of cisplatin. The doses of oridonin and cisplatin were selected based on the results of previous studies [10 (link), 13 (link)]. All animal procedures were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the Daegu Catholic University Medical Center (DCIAFCR-200626-12-Y).

Oridonin-Loaded Nanoparticle Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ORI loaded NPs (ORI-NPs) were prepared using emulsification and evaporation method as previously described with modifications (Hua et al., 2017 (link)). Briefly, 20 mg of Oridonin (Sigma) and 60 mg of PEG/PLGA (PEG5000-PLGA28,000, Sigma) were dissolved in 5 ml of dichloromethane as the oil (O) phase, while 20 ml of PVA (1%, w/w, Sigma) was used as external the water (W) phase. The oil phase was sonicated for 40 s at 100 Watt on ice to form the first emulsification, then it was dropped into W phase and sonicated for another 40 s to form the second emulsification. Finally, the nanoparticles were harvested by centrifuging at 12,000 rpm for 20 min and washed three times with water.
The size distribution and zeta potential of the nanoparticles was determined using a Zetasizer Nano ZS (Malvern Instruments, United Kingdom). The morphology of the as-prepared ORI-NPs was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM, Autoprobe CP Research, Veeco). AFM scanning were performed on Dimension 3100 system with a tapping mode.
Characterization of the products was confirmed by 1H NMR spectrometer (Bruker AVANCE 400 NMR spectrometer, United States) with DMSO as the solvent and Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR, Magna FTIR-750). FTIR spectra were obtained from a neat film cast from the chloroform copolymer solution between KBr tablets.

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.
