  2. Toll-like Receptor (TLR) TNF Receptor p38 MAPK NF-κB
  3. Diprovocim

Diprovocim is a potent TLR1/TLR2 agonist. Diprovocim elicits full agonist activity in human THP-1 cells (EC50=110 pM). Diprovocim stimulates the release of TNF-α from mouse macrophages (EC50=1.3 nM). Diprovocim activates downstream MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathway. Diprovocim displays strong adjuvant activity in mice, particularly abetting cellular immune responses.

    Immunohistochemistry corroborated these findings: CY rats exhibited stronger and more widespread staining for p-p38, p-JNK, and p-p65, reductions were evident in CYK rats, and Diprovocim (intraperitoneally at 1 mg/kg every 3 days for 14 days) again reinstated the heightened expression pattern.

    In grouped assays, CSE decreased viability, Esketamine restored it, Diprovocim (500 nM, final 2 h) further suppressed it, and combined treatment diminished the protective effect of esketamine.

    In Vitro

    Diprovocim (5 nM in THP-1 and 500 nM in mouse peritoneal macrophage; 15-120 mins) induces phosphorylation of IKKα, IKKβ, p38, JNK, and ERK, as well as degradation of IκBα in THP-1 cells and mouse peritoneal macrophages[2].
    Diprovocim (0.01-10000 nM; 4 hours) induces dose-dependent TNF production by THP-1 cells (EC50=110 pM) and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) (EC50=875 pM) and by mouse peritoneal macrophages (EC50=1.3 nM) and bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC) (EC50=6.7 nM). In addition to TNF, Diprovocim induced IL-6 production by mouse BMDC[2].

    Diprovocim (10 mg/kg) uses as an adjuvant and mixed with ovalbumin (OVA; 100 μg) by i.m. induces similar levels of serum OVA-specific IgG after 14 days[2].
    Diprovocim (10 mg/kg; i.m.) mixed with ovalbumin (OVA; 100 μg) before inoculation with B16-OVA cells immunizes significantly slows tumor growth rate but failed to prolong survival relative to OVA alone after 7 days[2].

    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    90% Corn Oil

      Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (2.75 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
    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.

    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.
