Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Huh-7 cells and SMMC7721 cells were split into 96-well dishes at 5,000 cells/well and treated with the indicated dosage of pitavastatin for 48 hours or 5 µM pitavastatin for 1, 2, 4, 6 days respectively. The cells were incubated with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (Beyotime, Haimen, People’s Republic of China) and formed formazan in the liver cells. Formazan was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; Beyotime), and the absorbance was measured at the wavelength of 570 nm. The cells treated with DMSO were used as a control group. The relative cell number of each group was calculated as pitavastatin-treated group/cell number in the DMSO-treated group.

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.
