Laquinimod
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Laquinimod (ABR-215062), an orally available carboxamide derivative, is a potent immunomodulator which prevents neurodegeneration and inflammation in the central nervous system. Laquinimod reduces astrocytic NF-κB activation to protect from Cuprizone-induced demyelination. Laquinimod has the potential for relapsing remitting (RR) and chronic progressive (CP) forms of multiple sclerosis (MS; RRMS or CPMS) as well as neurodegenerative diseases research.

Biological Activity
|
NF-κB |
Laquinimod reverses EAE and inhibits pathogenic T cell immune responses. Laquinimod reverses RR-EAE and inhibits inflammatory T cell responses via a direct effect on myeloid APC. Laquinimod alters myeloid APC subsets and inhibits Th1 and Th17 polarization of myelin-specific T cells. Laquinimod-induced type II (M2) monocytes reverse established EAE[1]. Laquinimod modulates the phenotype of B cells of healthy donors. Laquinimod modulates expression of markers related to regulatory capacity in B cells of RRMS patients. Laquinimod reduces IFNγ cytokine expression in CD4+ T cells[2].

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
Purified CD11b+ cells from laquinimod- or vehicle-treated mice are cultured with naive CD4+ cells isolated from laquinimod- or vehicle-treated 2D2 mice and antigen (MOG p35-55, 20 µg/mL). Cells are cultured in 96-well microtitre plates at a concentration of 0.25×106 cells/mL. Culture medium consisted of RPMI 1640 supplemented with L-glutamine (2 mM), sodium pyruvate (1 mM), penicillin (100 U/mL), streptomycin (0.1 mg/mL), 2-mercaptoethanol (5×10-5 M) and 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum. Cells are incubated for 48 h and pulsed for 18 h with 1 µCi per well of [3H]-thymidine before harvesting.

Seven to 10-week-old female C57BL/6, DBA/1 or SJL/J mice are injected subcutaneously with 50 µg MOG p35-55, 50 µg rMOG or 100 µg PLP p139-151, respectively, in complete Freund's adjuvant. After immunization and 2 days later, mice receive 200 ng (C57BL/6) or 100 ng (SJL/J) pertussis toxin intraperitoneally (i.p.). For adoptive transfer, donor SJL/J mice are immunized as described above and treated daily with laquinimod or vehicle. 10 days later, cells from draining lymph nodes and spleen are isolated, re-stimulated for 48 h (20 µg/mL PLP p139-151), and injected i.p. into naive SJL/J recipients (107 cells per mouse). Animals are observed daily and clinical scores are assessed as follows: 0, no signs; 1, decreased tail tone; 2, mild monoparesis or paraparesis; 3, severe paraparesis; 4, paraplegia and/or quadraparesis; and 5, moribund or death.
