    In Vitro

    Tobramycin (0-50 ng/mL; 24 hours) combinates with mycobacterium fortuitum enzyme (PodA) can greatly decreases P. aeruginosa cell viability[2].

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

    Cell Viability Assay[2]

    Cell Line: Pseudomonas aeruginosa
    Concentration: 2,10,50 ng/mL
    Incubation Time: 24 h
    Result: Greatly decreased cell viability compared to no protein or inactive mycobacterium fortuitum enzyme (PodA) controls while PodA10 alone did not increase cell death.
    In Vivo

    Tobramycin (50-400 mg/kg/day, i.p., once every 4h) combinates with Meropenem (HY-13678) produces bacterial cell kill effect at low doses of both drugs in murine pneumonia model. [3].
    Tobramycin (s.c., single dose) LD50 values in mice and rats are 441 and 969 mg/kg, respectively[4].

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

    Animal Model: Murine Model of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pneumonia Female, Swiss-Webster mice [3]
    Dosage: 50, 100, 150, 214, and 400 mg/kg/day
    Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) ,once every 4h
    Result: Had near-maximal killing of the wild-type bacteria occurred at approximately 150 mg/kg/day when tobramycin alone.
    Combinated with Meropenem (HY-13678) produced near-maximal effect (i.e., bacterial cell kill) at low doses of both drugs (60 and 50 mg/kg/day for Meropenem (HY-13678) and tobramycin, respectively).
    Animal Model: Mice, rats, cats and dogs for toxicologic evaluation[4]
    Dosage: 7.5,15,30,120,441,969 mg/kg
    Administration: Subcutaneous injection (s.c.), Intravenous injection (i.v.) ,Intramuscular injection(i.m.)
    Result: The s.c. LD50 values in mice and rats were 441 and 969 mg/kg, respectively.
    Within 1 hour after treated, death with central nervous system depression as a precursor occurred in rats and mice.
    A 100 mg/kg iv dose in chloraloseanesthetized catsproduced a moderate, transient decreasein blood pressure and a significant decrease in inspiratory volume and soleus twitch force.
    Changed renal tissue in rats which were given daily sc doses of 15-120 mg/kg for 3 months.
    im dose of 7.5 mg/kg for a l-month had no apparent effect on dogs, but a 30 mg/kg dose for a l-month produced severerenal damage.

    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.
