Description

Gastrodin, a main constituent of a Chinese herbal medicine Tianma, has been known to display anti-inflammatory effects. Gastrodin, has long been used for treating dizziness, epilepsy, stroke and dementia.

In Vitro

Gastrodin treatment reduces the mRNA expression levels of TNF-α and iNOS in the retinas of acute ocular hypertension[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Intraperitoneal injection with Gastrodin 10 mg/kg or 50 mg/kg once daily for 15 d significantly inhibits the loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) because of acute ocular hypertension (AOH) damage. 2 wk after AOH, the number of Iba1 positive retinal microglia obviously reduces to 231.3±54.3 cells/mm2 and 201.9±43.1 cells/mm2 in the rats intraperitoneally injected with Gastrodin at 10 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg, respectively[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.73 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.73 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Cell Assay
[1]

Retinas are collected at day 14 postoperatively, following treatment with normal saline (NS) or various doses of Gastrodin. The mRNA expression levels of TNF-α and iNOS are determined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR)[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Administration
[1]

Adult female SD rats (age, 8 wk; weight, 200 to 250 g) are used. The rats are divided into 4 groups: 1) control group; 2) normal saline (NS) group who are exposed to acute ocular hypertension (AOH) and receive intraperitoneal injection of 0.9% NS; 3) G10 group who are exposed to AOH and receive intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg/kg Gastrodin; 4) G50 group who are exposed to AOH and receive intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg Gastrodin. The loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and the number of Iba1-positive retina microglia are determined at 2 wk after rapid ocular hypertension[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
