Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Oakville, Ontario, Canada). Abn-CBD, dissolved in methyl acetate, O-1918 (1,3-Dimethoxy-5-methyl-2-[(1R,6R)-3­-methyl-6-(1-methylethenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]benz-ene), AM630 (6-iodo-2-methyl-1-[2-(4-morpholinyl)ethyl-1H-indol-3-yl](4-methoxyphenyl)methanone) and AM251 (N-(Piperidin-1-yl)-5-(4-iodophenyl)­-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide) were obtained from Tocris Bioscience (Bristol, UK). Because of its toxicity, methyl acetate was evaporated prior to the in vivo experiments and ethanol was used instead as a solvent. Abn-CBD was then further diluted in Tween 80 (10 %) and sterile saline. Vehicle consisted of ethanol, Tween 80 and sterile saline (1:1:8). AM630 and AM251 were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, 99.7 %) and further diluted with vehicle. 45 min prior to the induction of TNBS colitis, mice were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 5 mg/kg AM630, AM251, O-1918 or vehicle, followed by 5 mg/kg Abn-CBD, 15 min later. As a single dose of Abn-CBD was ineffective (preliminary data not shown), mice were injected twice daily for 3 days. For in vitro assays, 10 mM stock solutions (in DMSO) of Abn-CBD and the CB receptor antagonists were prepared.

GPR52 Receptor Docking Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Schrodinger 2020-3 release was used to perform the docking experiments presented here. The GPR52 publicly released structure [18 (link)] (pdb code 6LI0) was prepared with the Protein Preparation Wizard. Glide module was used to perform the dockings with SP precision and extended sampling. Dockings were done with and without water 304 from the 6LI0 structure to compare poses that could interact with that water or displace it.
O-1918 and CBD are commercially available from Tocris (2288 and 1570 respectively).
Compound 1 and Compound 2 syntheses are reported in the literature [19 (link)].

Stock solutions of CBD, U46619, GW9662, AM251, O-1918, capsazepine, nimesulide, Cay10441 and RN1734 were made to 10 mmol/l in ethanol; AM630, L161982, UCL1684 and TRAM-34 were made to 10 mmol/l in dimethylsulfoxide. Their final concentrations were prepared by dilutions with deionized water, which adjusted the final concentrations of ethanol or DMSO 0.1% v/v or less with the exception of RN1734 (ethanol final concentration 0.2% v/v). Stock solutions of l-NAME (300 mmol/l), phenylephrine and acetylcholine (all 10 mmol/l) were made in distilled water. Indomethacin was dissolved in 0.5 mol/l NaHCO3 and DETCA directly into Krebs.

Characterization of Human GPR18 Ligands

In this study, three selective ligands of human GPR18 were used, including two agonists with undisclosed structure (PSB-MZ-1415, EC50 0.019 µM and PSB-MZ-1440, EC50 0.061 µM; chemical details will be shortly published elsewhere) and the antagonist (Z)-2-(3-(6-(4-chlorophenoxy)hexyloxy)benzylidene)-6,7-dihydro-2H-imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazin-3(5H)-one (PSB-CB-27, IC50 0.65 µM). The three ligands were synthetized at the Department of Technology and Biotechnology of Drugs, Faculty of Pharmacy, Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland, and identified and characterized in the Department of Pharmaceutical & Medicinal Chemistry, University of Bonn, Germany ([33 (link)] and unpublished results).
U46619 ((5Z)-7-{(1R,4S,5S,6R)-6-[(1E,3S)-3-hydroxyoct-1-en-1-yl]-2-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]-heptan-5-yl}hept-5-enoic acid), O-1918 (1,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-2-[(1R,6R)-3-methyl-6-prop-1-en-2-ylcyclohex-2-en-1-yl]benzene), NAGly, and Abn-CBD were purchased from Tocris Bioscience (Bristol, UK). Stock solutions of these substances were made to 10 mM in ethanol; their final concentrations were prepared by dilutions with deionized water, which led to final concentrations of ethanol of <0.7% v/v. Stock solutions of PSB-MZ-1415, PSB-MZ-1440, and PSB-CB-27 were made only to 10 mM in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The final concentration of DMSO was <1.0% v/v.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To analyse the role of GPR18 in CYP-induced cystitis, we used a GPR18 agonist, RvD2 (MCE, USA), and a GPR18 antagonist, O-1918 (Tocris, UK). RvD2 was dissolved in sterile PBS while minimizing exposure to light. RvD2 (10 ng, 100 ng) or vehicle (2% ethanol in PBS) was injected intrathecally as described in previous studies.18 (link),19 (link) Before using O-1918, the methyl acetate was evaporated under a gentle stream of nitrogen, and vehicle was immediately added. The final concentration of O-1918 was 25 mM. Spinal puncture was performed between the L5 and L6 levels using a PE-10 catheter for intrathecal injection of the reagent (30 µL).

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.
