Cells and culture procedures
The K562, Lucena-1 and FEPS cell lines were provided of Immunology Laboratory at the Medical Biochemistry Institute Leopoldo de Meis of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). The cells were were cultured in the Cell Culture Laboratory of the Federal University of Rio Grande at 37 • C in 5% CO 2 in disposable plastic flasks containing RPMI 1640 (Gibco, Brazil), medium supplemented with sodium bicarbonate (2.0 g/L) (Vetec, Brazil), l-glutamine (0.3 g/L) (Vetec, Brazil), Hepes (25 mM) (Acros, Belgium), 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco, Brazil), 1% antibiotic (penicillin, 100 U/mL and streptomycin 100 mg/mL) (Gibco, Brazil) and antimycotic (amphotericin B 0.25 mg/mL -Sigma, Brazil). For maneitance of MDR phenotype, Lucena-1 cell line was maintained with 60 nM of VCR (Sigma, Brazil) and FEPS cell line with 300 ng/ml of DNR (Sigma, Brazil).

The reagents used for the films and incorporation with ketoconazole were sodium hydroxide (NaOH), acetic anhydride (CH3COOCOCH3), acetic acid (CH3COOH), hydrochloric acid (HCl), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), commercial ketoconazole, and dichloromethane (CH2Cl2), purchased from Vetec. Poly (vinyl alcohol) (average mol wt 30,000–70,000), ethyl iodide (CH2CH3I), chloride sodium (NaCl), benzoyl peroxide, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and distilled water were purchased from Sigma Aldrich. The copolymers PMMA-g-PEG 4000 and derivatives were synthesized by our research group and published in scientific journals [19 (link),20 (link),21 (link),22 (link),23 (link)].

Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), potassium chloride (KCl), calcium chloride (CaCl2), glucose, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), sodium chloride (NaCl), and sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4) were purchased from Vetec Química Fina Ltda. (Brazil). Atropine (99%), (S-(−)-Bay K8644), chloride verapamil, pyrilamine, carbamylcholine hydrochloride (CCh), Cremophor®, and histamine were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Brazil). Carboxymethylcellulose was obtained from Formula (Brazil). Castor oil was obtained from Farmax (Brazil). Loperamide (99%) was obtained from Janssen Cilag Farmacêutica Ltd. (Brazil) and activated charcoal was obtained from Proquímicos (Brazil). All substances were diluted in distilled water, and the extract was solubilized in Cremophor® (3%), whose concentration never exceeded 0.01% (v/v). At this concentration, this chemical is devoid of contractile or relaxant effects on the studied organ, according to previous obtained data (data not shown).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The HTC cell line was obtained from the Cell Bank of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. HTC cells were grown in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco, USA) supplemented with sodium bicarbonate (0.2 g/L) (Vetec, Brazil), L-glutamine (0.3 g/L) (Vetec, Brazil), Hepes (25 mM) (Acros, USA) and b-mercaptoethanol (5 × 10–5 M) (Sigma, Germany), with 10 % fetal bovine serum (Gibco, Brazil), 1 % of antibiotic and antimycotic (penicillin – 100 U/mL, streptomycin-100 mg/mL and amphotericin B - 0.25 mg/mL), in disposable plastic flasks, at 37°C.
The cytotoxicity assay was performed by trypan blue exclusion after 24 hours of incubation with microcystins. Three independent experiments were carried out using triplicates in each experiment. Data are expressed as mean + standard error and analyzed using ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple range test. Significance level was fixed in 0.05.

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.
