    β-Aminopropionitrile (500 μM; 72 h) blocks the hypoxia-induced EMT morphological and marker protein changes, and inhibits invasion and migration capacities of cervical carcinoma cells in vitro[2].

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

    Western Blot Analysis[1]

    Cell Line: 3T3-L1 adipocytes
    Concentration: 200 μM with 1.15 nM and 2.87 nM TNFα
    Incubation Time: 72 h
    Result: TNFα reduced expression of GLUT4 and adiponectin, and increased SOCS3 protein levels in these cells. And these effects were prevented.

    Cell Invasion Assay[2]

    Cell Line: HeLa and SiHa cells
    Concentration: 500 μM
    Incubation Time: 72 h
    Result: Significantly reduced hypoxia-elicited cell invasion in both cell models.

    Cell Migration Assay [2]

    Cell Line: HeLa and SiHa cells
    Concentration: 500 μM
    Incubation Time: 72 h
    Result: Decreased hypoxia-induced migration from 180 and 240% to 60 and 70% in HeLa and SiHa cells, respectively.

    Western Blot Analysis[2]

    Cell Line: HeLa and SiHa cells
    Concentration: 500 μM
    Incubation Time: 72 h
    Result: Effectively prevented hypoxia-induced downregulation of E-cadherin and strongly inhibited hypoxia-induced upregulation of α-SMA and vimentin.
    In Vivo

    β-Aminopropionitrile (BAPN) (100 mg/kg/day; p.o.; 6 weeks) reduces body weight gain and improves the metabolic profile in diet-induced obesity in rats[1].
    β-Aminopropionitrile monofumarate (1 g/kg/day; p.o.; 4 weeks) induces thoracic aortic dissection in C57BL/6 mice[3].

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

    Animal Model: Male Wistar rats of 150 g, high-fat diet (HFD) model[1]
    Dosage: 100 mg/kg/day
    Administration: In the drinking water, 6 weeks
    Result: Significantly prevented the rise in body weight in HFD rats, but not in animals that were fed a standard diet. Reduced the increase in the weight of white adipose tissue (both epididymal and lumbar) in obese animals and attenuated their enhanced adiposity. Improved fasted glucose and insulin levels and consequently reduced HOMA index in the HFD group. Improved insulin signalling in adipose tissue from obese animals.
    Animal Model: C57BL/6 mice[3]
    Dosage: 1 g/kg/day
    Administration: In the drinking water, 4 weeks
    Result: Induce thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) in all mice with 24 h of Ang II infusion. Caused 87% of C57BL/6 mice to develop TAD without Ang II.

    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: ≥ 3.25 mg/mL (46.37 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (32.5 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: ≥ 3.25 mg/mL (46.37 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (32.5 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.

    • 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.
