Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
3T3-L1 preadipocytes were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC Manassas, VA, USA) and cultured in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2 at 37 °C. The cells were differentiated into adipocytes as previously reported [14 (link)].

For the differentiation assay, preadipocytes were seeded in six-well plates and cultured until two days post-confluence. After the 3T3-L1 cells became confluent, the medium was replaced with DMEM consisting of 10% of fetal calf serum (FBS; Gibco-BRL), 1% of antibiotic–antimycotic solution, 10 μg/mL bovine insulin, 1 μM dexamethasone (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and 0.5 mM isobutylmethylxanthine (Sigma-Aldrich) with or without filbertone (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and SQ22,536 (an adenylate cyclases (ADCY) inhibitor, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). The cells were then maintained in DMEM containing 10% of FBS with 10 μg/mL insulin for another two days, followed by culturing with DMEM containing 10% of FBS for an additional four days with or without filbertone and SQ22,536.

B16F10 cells (1 × 105 cells/well) were cultured for 48 h in a 12-well plate with either vehicle (DMSO; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) or various concentrations (50–200 µM) of carvone (Sigma; purity 97%). If needed, the cells were pretreated with either vehicle (DMSO) or 50 µM SQ22536 (cAMP inhibitor; Sigma) for 30 min before the carvone treatment. The cells were harvested by trypsinization followed by washing with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; WelGENE, Daegu, Korea). Each cell sample was resuspended in 400 μL of 1 N NaOH containing 10% of DMSO and heated at 70 °C for 2 h. Melanin amounts were estimated by means of absorbance at 480 nm on a microplate reader (M200; Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland). Throughout all experiments, the final DMSO concentration was less than 0.05%.

Isoflurane was obtained from Cristália (São Paulo, Brazil). JME-173 was synthesized and provided by the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry (Farmanguinhos, FIOCRUZ, RJ, Brazil). GCMS spectrum revealed that JME-173 is a 100% pure compound as also attested by the 1H NMR analysis and by its melting point 220–222°C. As predicted by the ChemAxon program (Version 19.22.0), the aqueous solubility at pH 6.4, 6.8, and 7.2 of JME-173 were 127.0, 50.6, and 20.2 mg/ml, respectively. There was no observed evidence of JME-173 degradation following long-lasting exposure to blood samples, storage at room temperature or −70°C, or after the repeated freeze and thaw cycles, pointing out the excellent physical stability of this compound (Pinto at al., under review in the Eur. J. Pharmacol.). All solutions were freshly prepared in distilled water and protected from light.

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.
