Biological Activity
Lipase zymograms Assay
Lipase zymograms are obtained using a modified SDS-PAGE (10% of polyacrylamide) for alkaline proteases. The gels are prepared by mixing 2.5 mL acrylamide: bis-acrylamide, 2 mL substrate, 1 mL sodium taurocholate (10 mM), 2.5 mL 1.5 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.8, 2 mLdistilled water, and 9 μL TEMED. The mix is continuously shaken for 15 min, and 100 μL ammonium persulfate (1%) is added to complete the polymerization. The gels are stabilized for 15 min at 80 V, then the current increased to 120 V for 2 h at 4°C. Lipase activity is revealed with the addition of a Fast Blue B Salt solution (100 mM dissolved in DMSO). Brownish bands in the electrophoresis gel revealed activity of lipases after 10-15 min[1].
Fast Blue B Salt, Dye content ~95% can be used for the semiquantification of alkylresorcinols in rye and produces a color precipitate in the presence of acetone[3].

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 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.26 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
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.
