Description

BBS-4 is a potent and selective inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) dimerization inhibitor, with an IC50 of 0.49 nM. BBS-4 can protect mice from the cardiovascular dysfunction of sepsis[1].

IC50 & Target

iNOS

 

In Vitro

BBS-4 exhibits ∼300–2000-fold selective for inhibiting iNOS dimerization in cells versus CYP-3A4 (∼150 nM in a microsomal benzyloxyresorufin assay; ∼1 μM in a cell-based testosterone hydroxylase assay)[2].

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

In Vivo

BBS-4 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; 1 h after endotoxin administration) prevents endotoxin-induced hypotension in mice[1].
BBS-4 (30 mg/kg; i.p.; 1 h after endotoxin administration) prevents endotoxin-induced myocardial dysfunction in mice[1].
BBS-4 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; 1 and 8 h after endotoxin administration) prevents endotoxin-induced impairment of murine hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV)[1].
BBS-4 (10 mg/kg; i.p.; 1 and 8 h after endotoxin administration) does not affect the endotoxin-induced increase in pulmonary NOS2 gene expression, but it (30 mg/kg) prevents cardiac and pulmonary NOS2 protein dimerization and increases plasma nitrate and nitrite (NOx) concentration in mice[1].
BBS-2 (30 mg/kg; s.c. twice daily for 10 d) does not affect agonist-stimulated NOS3-dependent aortic relaxation ex vivo[1].
BBS-4 (10-30 mg/kg; i.p.) does not improve mortality rate in endotoxemic mice[1].

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    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (5.95 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a clear solution of 2.5 mg/mL.

    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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (5.95 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a clear solution of 2.5 mg/mL.

    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.

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.
