Trovafloxacin

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in Macao

Trovafloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used in the laboratory setting. It is a member of the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics and is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. Trovafloxacin functions by inhibiting the bacterial enzymes DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are essential for bacterial DNA replication and transcription.

Cells in poly-L-lysine-coated black optical 96-well plates (Nunc, 165305) were placed in PSS containing 0–2 mM Ca2+ and 1 µM YO-PRO1 (Invitrogen). The plate was transferred to a FLUOstar Omega reader (BMG Labtech) equilibrated to 37°C and 5% CO2. BzATP was injected to obtain a 0–500 µM final concentration (n=3) and fluorescence measured (4-mm orbital area) every 40 s for 30 min. Where indicated, cells were preincubated with 100 µM 10Panx (Tocris) for 10 min or 10–100 µg/ml trovafloxacin (Sigma) for 30 min and stimulated in the presence of inhibitors. After normalization for well-specific fluorescence, the average YO-PRO1 fluorescence of unstimulated cells was subtracted from that of agonist-stimulated cells to correct for bleaching. Dye uptake rates were derived by linear regression of data from the initial 5 min.

Characterizing T Cell Responses to Viral Infection

WT (CD4-Cre, ERT2-Cre-LSL-YFP), CD4-Cre Panx1fl/fl, ERT2-Cre-LSL-YFP-Panx1fl/fl, and CD4-Cre P2rx7fl/fl P14 cells were adoptively transferred into naive wild-type mice, which were infected with LCMV-Armstrong (2 × 105 PFU, intraperitoneally (i.p.)). Sometimes, wild-type (CD4-Cre, CMV-Cre), CMV-Cre Panx1fl/fl or CD4-Cre Panx1fl/fl mice were infected with LCMV Armstrong. In other experiments, wild-type (CD4-Cre) or CD4-Cre Panx1fl/fl mice were infected with Influenza-PR8 (1400 PFU, intranasally (i.n.)). In some experiments, LCMV-infected mice were treated with Trovafloxacin (4.2 mg x kg−1 mouse, Sigma-Aldrich) or Sodium Lactate (1.68 g x kg−1 mouse, Sigma-Aldrich)72 (link) between days 1–7 after infection.

Evaluating Hepatocyte Exposure to Drugs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Troglitazone, nimesulide, caffeine, trovafloxacin, levofloxacin, LPS and methotrexate (all from Sigma, St Louis, Mo) were administered into the devices as 1% DMSO solutions in HMM at the final concentrations. To achieve testing of up to the recommended 100 × Cmax for in vitro liver systems, 1.0% DMSO final concentration was used to improve compound solubility. 1.0% DMSO is on the high end of published concentrations,7 (link),27 -29 (link) but the negative control, caffeine in 1.0% DMSO as well as DMSO alone, had no impact on the parameters measured in the devices. The flow was temporarily halted to allow imaging of each device using the GE IN Cell 6000 (GE LifeSciences, Piscataway NJ, USA) equipped with an environmental chamber to maintain 37° C and 5% CO2 (see below, HCA imaging and analysis). Flow was re-established in the devices after image collection.

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.
