    Beschreibung

    DMBA has carcinogenic activity as a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). DMBA is used to induce tumor formation in various rodent models[1].

    In Vivo

    Note:
    Please do not refer to only one article to determine the experimental conditions. It is recommended to determine the optimal experimental conditions (animal strain, age, dosage, frequency and cycle, detection time and indicators, etc.) through preliminary experiments before the formal experiment.

    DMBA can induce breast cancer and skin cancer models. Oral administration of DMBA (0-150 mg/kg) leads to a reduction in spleen weight and a decrease in the total number of lymphocytes recovered from the spleen in C57BL/6 mice. In SD rats, DMBA exhibits a terminal deposition half-life of 45 minutes across all dose ranges (5-50 mg)[5].

    Induction of breast cancer[2]
    Background
    DMBA activates AhR, which translocates into nucleus and dimerizes with cofactor ARNT, thus induces the expressions of protooncogenes c-myc.
    Specific Modeling Methods
    Rat: Sprague-Dawley • female • 50 days •140-150 g
    Administration: 15-20 mg DMBA-• intragastric gavage • single dose
    Note
    1.5-2 g DMBA dissolved in 100 ml sesame oil
    Modeling Indicators
    Palpation:Detection of mammary cancer in 150 days.
    Histology analysis:The tumor exhibits tightly spaced chords epithelial cells, cysts and papillary structures.
    Phenotype:develops a temporary cessation in body growth.
    Opposite Product(s): Phytic acid (HY-N0814); Limonene (HY-N0544)

    Induction of skin cancer[3]
    Background
    DMBA is metabolized to reactive intermediates, such as syn- and anti-diol epoxides, and binds extensively to epidermal DNA.
    Specific Modeling Methods
    European hamster: • 10 weeks • 180-200 g •
    Administration: 25 mg DMBA • applied on the shaved back skin • single dose
    Note
    25 mg DMBA is dissolved in 1 ml acetone
    Modeling Indicators
    Histological analysis: Epidermal hyperplasia is oberserved. Lesions occurred frequently in the back skin, such as trichoepitheliomas, neoplastic epidermal cysts and melanotic tumors.
    Opposite Product(s): α-Mangostin (HY-N0328); DHEA (HY-14650); Salidroside (HY-N0109)

    Induction of lung cancer[4]
    Background
    DMBA is metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes into the carcinogenic form 7,12-DMBA-3,4-dihydrodiol-1,2- epoxide, which adducts with DNA and produces mutations.
    Specific Modeling Methods
    BALB/c mice: •12 weeks • 25-35 g
    Administration: 5-20 mg/kg • intratracheal instillation • single dose.
    Note
    (1). 5-20 mg DMBA is dissolved in 0.2 ml saline.
    (2). A coat of antibiotic is applied after the instillation.
    Modeling Indicators
    Molecular changes:Increased number of macrophages in the broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and levels of malonyldialdehyde (MDA) in lung tissue.
    Histology analysis:Inflammation with alveolar epithelial hyperplasia, adenic metaplasia, adenomatoid hyperplasia and atypical hyperplasia.
    Opposite Product(s): Diclofenac (HY-15036)

    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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (9.75 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 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.
    • Protocol 2

      Solubility: ≥ 2 mg/mL (7.80 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.0 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.
