Description

Budesonide, an inhaled glucocortical steroid, is an orally active glucocorticoid receptor agonist. Budesonide decreases the size of lung tumors, reverses DNA hypomethylation and modulates mRNA expression of genes. Budesonide is an anti-inflammatory agent used for asthma[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Budesonide is selective for human glucocorticoid receptor (hGR; EC50=45.7 pM) over mineralocorticoid receptors (EC50=7,620 pM) in CV-1 cells[1].
Budesonide (30 min prior to LPS) suppresses the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by LPS (100 ng/mL) plus ATP (5 mM) in macrophages (RAW 264.7 cells)[2].

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

In Vivo

Budesonide (2.0 mg/kg; orally via their diet; at 2, 7 and 21 days prior to killing) decreases the size of lung tumors[3].
Budesonide (0.5 mg/kg; intranasal administration 1 h before LPS injection (5 mg/kg)) pretreatment dramatically attenuates pathological injury and reduces pathological scores in mice with ALI in adult male C57BL/6 mice[2].

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

Animal Model: Female strain A/J mice at 8 weeks of age[3]
Dosage: 2.0 mg/kg
Administration: Orally via their diet; at 2, 7 and 21 days prior to killing (27 weeks)
Result: Reduced the size of the lung tumors after 2 days and rapidly decreased the size of lung tumors, reversed DNA hypomethylation and modulated mRNA expression of genes.

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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.83 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.83 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.
