    Description

    Conduritol B epoxide is an irreversible covalently bound acid β-glucosidase (GCase) inhibitor.

    In Vitro

    Treating N2a and Conduritol B epoxide-N2a cells with G6 gave GC reductions to 7% and 26% of untreated levels, respectively. G6 treated Conduritol B epoxide-N2a also has significantly decreased GS. Co-treatment of G6 and dantrolene of Conduritol B epoxide-N2a cells lead to a similar degree of GC and GS reduction as G6 alone, indicating a specific effect of G6 on inhibition of substrate accumulation, Conduritol B epoxide-N2a cells have higher calcium levels than in N2a cells without caffeine at baseline. Conduritol B epoxide-N2a cells show a significant increase in cytosolic calcium levels compared to N2a cells. Conduritol B epoxide-N2a cells show a significant reduction in OCR as evidenced by approximately 50% in all the parameters, including rate of ATP production, basal respiration, and maximal respiration, compared to N2a cells, indicating reduced mitochondrial function in this nGD cell model. In dantrolene-treated Conduritol B epoxide-N2a cells, levels of Ryr3 are increased to 76% of WT level[1].

    In Vivo

    Conduritol B epoxide treatment of 4L, 9H, 9V and WT mice (100 mg/kg/day, i.p.) from postnatal day 5 to 11 does not induce α-synuclein aggregates. Long-term daily Conduritol B epoxide treatment of 4L mice (100 mg/kg/day, from postnatal day 15 for 24 or 36 doses) leads to hind limb paralysis and small amounts of α-synuclein accumulation in the olfactory bulb, brainstem, and PVP near D3V (dorsal 3rd ventricle)[2].

    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 (15.42 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 (15.42 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.

    Kinase Assay
    [1]

    Cells are homogenized in 1% sodium taurocholate/1% Triton X-100. GCase activity is determined fluorometrically using 4MU-Glucose as the substrate in 0.25% sodium taurocholate, 0.25% Triton X-100 and 0.1M citric-phosphate buffer (pH 5.6). Brain tissues are homogenized in 1X PBS and incubated in 5 µM brain phosphatidylserine and 0.1M citric-phosphate buffer (pH 5.6) for GCase activity assay using 4MU-Glucose as substrate. Protein concentrations are determined by BCA assay using BSA as standard.

    Animal Administration
    [2]

    Gba1 point mutated 4L, 9H and 9V mice or WT mice are intraperitoneally injected with 100 mg/kg/day of Conduritol B epoxide. In short-term experiments, daily injections are initiated at postnatal day 5 and continued for 6 daily doses. The mice are sacrificed on day 12 or 2 months after last injection. In long-term experiments, 4L mice are injected daily beginning at postnatal day 15 for 24 or 36 daily doses and sacrificed the day after last injection. Mice are perfused with PBS and organs are harvested for enzyme activity, lipid and histological analyses.

    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.
