Desonide
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Desonide is a non-fluorinated corticosteroid anti-inflammatory agent that acts on the glucocorticoid receptor. Desonide can also specifically bind to the mutant huntingtin protein (mHTT), reducing the level and toxicity of mHTT. Desonide can be used in the research of Huntington's disease and inflammatory diseases such as atopic dermatitis.

Biological Activity
Desonide (0-48 h) can significantly inhibit mHTT-induced cytotoxicity, reduce apoptotic signals, and improve cell survival in striatal cells of HD mice, neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells of HD patients, and neurons of Drosophila expressing mHTT[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Desonide (30-150 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; single dose) has an LD50 of 93 mg/kg in male Charles River COBS-CD rats[2].

Animal Model:HdhQ7/Q140 mice aged 10-15 months old[1]
-
Dosage:5 mg/kg
-
Administration:Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.); 4 weeks
-
Result:Rescued all the behavioral deficits tested in the HD mice at 10, 12, and 15 months.
Lowered mHTT aggregates and partially restored the levels of HD molecular biomarkers such as DARPP-32 and neurofilament light chain (NFL).

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : ≥ 100 mg/mL (240.09 mM; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
* "≥" means soluble, but saturation unknown.
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.

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: ≥ 3.25 mg/mL (7.80 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (32.5 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: ≥ 3.25 mg/mL (7.80 mM); Clear solution
