Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The CB1 allosteric ligands GAT211, GAT228, and GAT229 were synthesized and provided by Ganesh A. Thakur (Northeastern University) [34 (link)]. Δ8-THC (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA), GAT211, GAT228, and GAT229 were dissolved in soybean oil with 2% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; Sigma-Aldrich, Oakville, ON, Canada) and 4% Tween-20 (Sigma-Aldrich, Oakville, ON, Canada). Drugs or vehicle were topically administered (5 µL) to cauterized corneas at 30, 60, and 120 min post-cauterization. The CB1 antagonist AM251 (Tocris Bioscience, Minneapolis, MN, USA) was suspended in 10% DMSO in saline. AM251 was injected at a dose of 2.0 mg/kg i.p. 15 min before cauterization. Capsaicin (1 µM; Tocris Bioscience, Minneapolis, MN, USA) was prepared in DMSO diluted with sterile saline to 0.002%.

Δ8THC ([6aR,10aR]-6,6,9-trimethyl-3-pentyl-6a,7,8,10a-tetrahydrobenzo[c]chromen-1-ol; Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI), CBD (2-[(1R,6R)-3-Methyl-6-(1-methylethenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]-5-pentyl-1,3-benzenediol; Cayman Chemical), HU-308 (4-[4-(1,1-Dimethylheptyl)-2,6-dimethoxyphenyl]-6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-ene-2-methanol; Tocris Bioscience, Minneapolis, MN) were dissolved in soybean oil (Sigma-Aldrich) at different concentrations (0.2–5.0% w/v). Drugs were topically administered (5 μL) to cauterized corneas at 30, 60, and 120 min postcauterization. The CB1R antagonist AM251 (N-(Piperidin-1-yl)-5-(4-iodophenyl)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide; Tocris Bioscience) was suspended in 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, Sigma-Aldrich) and diluted in sterile saline. AM251 was injected at 2.0 mg/kg intraperitoneally (i.p.) fifteen min before cauterization. Capsaicin (1 μM, in 0.002% DMSO in sterile saline) was applied topically to eyes (5 μL) 6 h postinjury. The 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY100635 (N-[2-[4-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-N-2-pyridinylcyclohexanecarboxamide maleate; Tocris Bioscience) was dissolved in sterile saline and injected at 1.0 mg/kg i.p., 15 min before cauterization.

CBD and THC Stability in Simulated Fluids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Materials included synthetic CBD (99% purity; Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Lot: MG-24-156 R2-B), Δ8-THC (100% purity; Cayman Chemicals, Lot: 0458238-2), and Δ9-THC (100% purity; Cayman Chemicals, Lot: 0459902-3). Samples were analyzed on a Waters Acquity H Class UPLC system with UV detection followed by analysis through a Waters Acquity tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (TQD MS/MS) detector. CBD stability studies in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and physiological buffer [4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid; HEPES] were performed in a USP Apparatus II dissolution bath (Distek model 2100B). UPLC and MS method parameters for the stability studies and sample analysis are listed in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. Conditions for the dissolution apparatus are listed in Table 3.

Cannabinoid Reference Standards Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ethanol 96%, acetonitrile (ACN), and formic acid (FA) were all LC–MS grade and were bought from Sigma Aldrich (USA). Ultrapure water was obtained with a water purification system (Direct-Q 3UV, Merck Millipore, Milan, Italy). Chemicals and solvents employed in the synthetic process were reagent grade and used without further purification. The following abbreviations for common organic solvents were adopted: diethyl ether (Et2O); dichloromethane (CH2Cl2); cyclohexane (CE); chloroform (CDCl3); ethanol (EtOH). Stock solutions (1 mg/mL) of certified reference cannabinoid standards of CBDA, Δ9-THCA, CBGA, CBCA, CBD, CBG, CBC, CBN, as well as of Δ9-THC and Δ8-THC (500 µg/mL) were bought from Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA). Stock solutions (1 mg/mL) of CBDH, Δ9-THCH, (9R)-HHC and (9S)-HHC were obtained by properly diluting the pure compounds in-house synthesized.

Optimized Quantification of Cannabinoids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Optima-grade ammonium formate, formic acid, and methanol were purchased from Fisher Scientific (Hanover Park, IL, USA). Ultrapure Type 1 water was generated in-house as needed from a Millipore Direct-Q3 system. Certified reference materials for a quality assurance test mix containing amitriptyline, diazepam, fluoxetine, methadone, nicotine, nordiazepam, norfluoxetine, nortriptyline, paroxetine, and trazodone were acquired from Cerilliant (Round Rock, TX, USA), as were CBD, CBD-d3, Δ9-THC, Δ9-THC-d3, cannabigerol (CBG), cannabidivarin (CBDV), cannabichromene (CBC), cannabinol (CBN), and CBN-d3. Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid Δ9-THCA-A), Δ8-THC, and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) were purchased from Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI, USA).

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.
