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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.37 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
Mice[2]
For atherosclerosis studies, 8-wk-old female LDLRKO mice are fed a Western diet (21% fat, 0.15% cholesterol; TD.88137) for 8 wk. One group of mice (baseline group) is euthanized at this time point for lesion measurement in the aortic root region and in the innominate artery. Atherosclerotic lesion in the whole aorta is not examined in the baseline group. The remaining mice are then divided into 2 groups and fed the following diets for another 15 wk before euthanasia: group 1, chow diet (5% fat, AIN-76A Rodent Diet); and group 2, chow diet + 1.25% (wt/wt) Hyodeoxycholic acid. For other studies, 8-wk-old female LDLRKO mice are fed a chow diet or chow diet + 1.25% Hyodeoxycholic acid for 3 wk before phenotype measurements. Food consumption and body weight are recorded weekly. Animals are measured for total body fat mass and lean mass by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using Bruker Minispec with software from Eco Medical Systems[2].
