    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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (9.02 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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% Corn Oil

      Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (9.02 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    Cell Assay
    [2]

    Diazoxide is dissolved in DMSO to prepare 50 mM stock solution. NSC-34 cells are allowed to differentiate for 8 weeks under reduced serum conditions and then seeded in 24-well plates. Glutamate is dissolved in culture medium and added to cultures at concentration of 10 μM for 24 h. Cell treatment with 100 µM diazoxide starts 2 h before glutamate exposure. Cell viability is measured by the MTT assay[2].

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

    Animal Administration
    [3][4]

    Rats: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats with induced cerebral ischemia (n=10 per group) receive an intraperitoneal injection of 0.1% DMSO (1 mL; vehicle group), diazoxide (10 mg/kg; DZ group), or diazoxide (10 mg/kg) plus 5-hydroxydecanoate (5 mg/kg; DZ + 5-HD group) 30 min after CPR. The control group (sham group, n=5) undergoes sham operation, without cardiac arrest. Mitochondrial respiratory control rate (RCR) is determined. Brain cell apoptosis is assessed using TUNEL staining. Expression of Bcl-2, Bax, and protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε) in the cerebral cortex is determined by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry[3].

    Mouse: Diazoxide is prepared by diluting a 100 mM stock solution in 10% polyethoxylated castor oil in PBS. In C57BL/6 wild-type and Kir6.2(−/−) mice, a 5 μL drop of 5 mM diazoxide is topically administered to one eye of each mouse while the fellow control eye received vehicle (DMSO and 10% polyethoxylated castor oil in the same proportion as the treated eye). IOP is measured daily at 1 hour, 4 hours, and 23 hours following treatment. Treatment with diazoxide and vehicle is continued daily for 14 consecutive days[4].

    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.
