Antimalarial Compounds Preparation Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Artesunate, mefloquine hydrochloride, amodiaquine dihydrochloride dihydrate, chloroquine diphosphate, primaquine phosphate, quinine hemisulfate, atovaquone, methylene blue, pyronaridine tetraphosphate, doxycycline hyclate, clindamycin and praziquantel were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Ferroquine was obtained from Sanofi-Synthelabo, proguanil and cycloguanil from Jacobus Pharmaceutical Company, tigecycline from Wyeth, and mirincamycin hydrochloride enantiomers from Maldevco [45 (link)]. All compounds were dissolved in sterile DMSO except for quinine for which methanol was used and pure M199 medium (without additives) was used to dissolve proguanil, cycloguanil, clindamycin, and pyronaridine. The stock concentration was 50 mM for Artesunate, amodiaquine, chloroquine, atovaquone, quinine, and primaquine, and 100 mM for praziquantel, proguanil, cycloguanil, methylene blue, pyronaridine, clindamycin, doxycycline, and mirincamycin enantiomers, respectively. Mefloquine was dissolved to 24 mM and Ferroquine to 12.5 mM. All stocks were freshly prepared for the study and stored at -20°C. Maximum concentration of the solvent (DMSO, methanol) in the in vitro assays did not exceed 0.8% and did not interfere with parasite viability.

Ethanol, Taste, and Conditioned Place Preference

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ethanol solutions (2.5%, 5%, 10%, and 20%; v/v) were prepared from absolute ethyl alcohol (Panreac Quimica SAU, Barcelona, Spain) and diluted using tap water. For taste sensitivity, saccharin sodium salt dihydrate (0.01%, 0.02%, 0.04%, and 0.08%; w/v) and quinine hemisulfate (10, 20, 40, and 80 μM; w/v) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Corp (St Louis, MO, USA) and were dissolved in tap water. For the CPP experiments, 1.5 g/kg ethanol was diluted in isotonic saline (0.9% sodium chloride) (10%; v/v). The specific uPA inhibitor B428 was provided by Dr Bruce A Littlefield of Eisai, Inc., Andover, MA, USA, and was dissolved in isotonic saline and administered by intraperitoneal injection (IP) at a volume of 10 mL/kg. For ethanol, saccharin, and quinine intake, vehicle or B428 were injected daily 30 minutes before the lights were switched off. However, for the CPP experiments, vehicle or B428 were administered 15 minutes before saline or ethanol, during conditioning sessions.

Drosophila Reward-Punishment Learning Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Feeding-stage, third instar Drosophila melanogaster larvae five days after egg laying from Canton-S wild-type were used. The larvae were maintained on standard fly food at 25°C, 60% relative humidity, in a 12 h light–dark cycle. The experiments used Petri dishes of an inner diameter of 9 and 15 cm for training and test, respectively, which were prefilled with 1% agarose (electrophoresis grade; Roth) and stored at 4°C until used. 2 mol/L fructose (FRU; CAS: 57-48-7; purity 99%; Roth) or 5 mmol/L quinine hemisulfate (QUI; CAS: 6119-70-6; Sigma-Aldrich) were added to the agarose as reward and punishment, respectively. Please note that the terms “reward” and “punishment” are frequently used in Drosophila learning and memory literature instead of the Pavlovian terminology of “appetitive unconditioned stimulus” and “aversive unconditioned stimulus,” respectively.
As odor, n-amyl acetate (AM; CAS: 628-63-7; Merck) was diluted 1:20 in paraffin oil (CAS: 8012-95-1; Sigma-Aldrich) and presented in custom-made Teflon containers (5 mm diameter), covered by perforated lids.

Consumption and preference of quinine-adulterated ethanol over water in a two-bottle choice home cage assay was measured to evaluate aversion-resistant ethanol drinking behavior. Mice received 4 h of access to two bottles, one containing 20% ethanol adulterated with 100 μM (Days 1 and 2) or 250 μM (Day 3) quinine hemisulfate (Sigma–Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and the other containing water. Bottle placement was pseudorandom and switched daily, and consumption and preference were measured as described for mDID.

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.
