In Vitro

Doramapimod (BIRB 796) is usually associated with inflammation because of its role in T-cell proliferation and cytokine production[1].
Doramapimod (BIRB 796) blocks the stress-induced phosphorylation of the scaffold protein SAP97, further establishing that this is a physiological substrate of SAPK3/p38γ. The binding of Doramapimod to the p38 MAPKs or JNK1/2 is impairing their phosphorylation by the upstream kinase MKK6 or MKK4[3].

In Vivo

The mean xenograft weigh of Doramapimod (BIRB 796) is lighter than control. The inhibition rate of Doramapimod is 1.93%[4].
The Doramapimod (BIRB 796) treatment slightly reduces blood pressure (166±7 mm Hg at week 7; P<0.05), whereas SD rats are normotensive (123±3 mm Hg). Despite the reduction in blood pressure, untreated and Doramapimod-treated dTGRs have similar heart weight and cardiac hypertrophy indices (heart-to-tibia ratio), which are significantly higher compare with nontransgenic SD rats (310±6 versus 307±6 versus 206±5 mg/cm, respectively; P<0.05)[5].

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    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.74 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 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 (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

  • Protocol 2

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

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.94 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.

Cell Assay
[3]

Human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 and HeLa cells are exposed to 0.5 M sorbitol for 30 min or 100 ng/mL EGF for 10 min and then lysed in buffer A (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 10 mM sodium fluoride, 50 mM sodium β-glycerophosphate, 5 mM pyrophosphate, 0.27 M sucrose, 0.1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 1% (v/v) Triton X-100) plus 0.1% (v/v) 2-mercaptoethanol and Complete proteinase inhibitor mixture. Lysates are centrifuged at 18,000× g for 5 min at 4°C, and the supernatants are removed, quick-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -20°C until use. When required, cells are preincubated for 1 h without or with 10 μM SB 203580 or 10 μM PD 184352 or with different concentrations of Doramapimod for the times indicated in the figures[3].

Animal Administration
[4][5]

Mice[4]
Athymic nude mice (BALB/c-nu/nu), 6 to 8 weeks of age and weighing 18 to 24 g, are used. The mice are treated with Doramapimod (10 mg/kg p.o., every 3 days×5). The body weights of the animals and the two perpendicular tumor diameters (A and B) are recorded every 3 days, and the tumor volume (V) is estimated.
Rats[5]
Male transgenic dTGRs (RCC Ltd) and age-matched nontransgenic Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (MDC) are use. 2 different protocols are performed. In protocol 2, untreated dTGR (n=15), dTGR+BIRB796 (30 mg/kg per day in the diet for 3 weeks; n=11), and SD (n=8 each group) rats are analyzed. Systolic blood pressure is measured weekly by tail cuff. Twenty-four-hour urine samples are collected in metabolic cages from weeks 5 to 7. Serum is collected at week 7. Serum creatinine and cystatin C are measured by clinical routine assays. Urinary rat albumin is determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The aim of protocol 2 is to focus on electrophysiological alterations and mortality. Untreated dTGR (n=10), dTGR+BIRB796 (n=10), and SD (n=10) rats are studied up to week 8.

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.
