Solvent & Solubility
H2O : 50 mg/mL (47.66 mM; Need ultrasonic)
DMSO : 50 mg/mL (47.66 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 2 years; -20°C, 1 year. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 2 years. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 year.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
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 (2.38 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)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (2.38 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.

Working solution concentration: 0.22 mg/mL
This product has good water solubility, please refer to the measured solubility data in water/PBS/Saline for details.
Protocol
After habituation for 7 days, the animals are randomly divided into either the control (n=10) or experimental (n=40) group. Mice in the control group receive drinking water and standard chow, while the experimental group receive 30% (w/v) fructose in drinking water and standard chow for 12 weeks. After 6 weeks, mice receiving high-dose fructose are divided into four subgroups: fructose group (treated with CMC-Na in a matched volume), allopurinol (Allo) group (administered 5 mg/kg allopurinol hydrochloride), protodioscin-5 (Pdio-5) group (administered 5 mg/kg protodioscin) and protodioscin-10 (Pdio-10) group (administered 10 mg/kg protodioscin). Dose of protodioscin is selected according to other reports and the clinical adult dose of DR. According to the pharmacopoeia of China, the dose of DR for human is 30 g/day. Equivalently, the calculated dose of DR based on respective body surface areas for rats is 2.6 g/kg/day. The average content of protodioscin in DR is 0.183%, and so the dose of protodioscin for rats is 4.76 mg/kg/day. Therefore, the 5 mg/kg/day is as low dose, and 10 mg/kg/day is as high dose in this study. All drugs are administered orally once daily between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m., continuously for 6 weeks.
