4-MDM
Based on 1 Customer Validation
4-MDM (4-Methoxydiphenylmethane) is an orally active anti-inflammatory compound that selectively enhances the Leukotriene A4 Hydrolase (LTA4H) aminopeptidase enzyme activity. 4-MDM reduces the neutrophil recruitment in the lung by enhancing the degradation of proline-glycine-proline by LTA4H, thereby reducing inflammation, and does not affect the epoxy-hydrolase activity of LTA4H. 4-MDM can be used for research on lung diseases.

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (25.22 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (25.22 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.

Zymosan-Induced Peritonitis
Zymosan-induced peritonitis is a sterile acute-inflammation model produced by intraperitoneal injection of zymosan, a yeast cell-wall particle preparation, followed by quantification of leukocyte recruitment and soluble inflammatory mediators in peritoneal lavage fluid. Low-dose zymosan peritonitis is commonly used as a self-resolving acute inflammation model in which neutrophil recruitment occurs early and monocyte/macrophage accumulation follows later. The assay readouts include total peritoneal leukocyte number, differential neutrophil and monocyte/macrophage counts, peritoneal cytokines and chemokines, plasma or peritoneal exudation, and optional lipidomic or metabolomic changes during inflammation and resolution. Early neutrophil recruitment after zymosan depends strongly on complement and mast-cell C5a receptor signaling, whereas later monocyte recruitment is linked to MCP-1/CCL2 production.

Primary monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation
Primary human monocytes can be differentiated ex vivo into monocyte-derived macrophages by culturing purified blood monocytes for approximately 5-7 days in macrophage-supporting cytokine conditions; M-CSF commonly yields CD14^high/CD163^high macrophages, while GM-CSF yields a phenotypically distinct macrophage population, so the cytokine condition should be chosen according to the downstream model. The readout of successful differentiation is a combined change in morphology, adherence, surface phenotype, and function: differentiated macrophages become adherent, enlarge, acquire macrophage-associated markers such as CD14, CD68, CD163, CD206, or HLA-DR depending on culture condition, and show increased phagocytic capacity compared with starting monocytes.

Research Protocol for Inflammation-related Diseases
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytosolic innate immune signaling platform that integrates priming signals and danger-signal activation to promote caspase-1 activation, maturation of IL-1β and IL-18, and gasdermin D-mediated pyroptotic cell death. The core experimental logic is to determine whether inflammatory disease phenotypes are driven by increased NLRP3 expression, ASC-containing inflammasome assembly, caspase-1 cleavage, GSDMD cleavage, and extracellular release of IL-1β/IL-18 rather than by nonspecific cell injury alone. The pathway is strongly linked to inflammation-related disease phenotypes because monosodium urate crystals activate NALP3/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in gout-like crystal inflammation, cholesterol crystals activate NLRP3 inflammasomes in atherogenesis models, and DSS-induced intestinal inflammation has been reported to involve NLRP3 inflammasome activity. However, experimental colitis studies also show context-dependent protective effects of NLRP3 inflammasome co
