Azoxymethane is a colon carcinogen which leads to the formation of DNA adducts. On an equal protein basis, hepatic microsomes are much more active than SI and colon microsomes in NADPH-dependent Azoxymethane bioactivation and N7-mG adduct formation. Hepatic microsomes show the highest activity in the hydroxylation of Azoxymethane, followed by SI and colon microsomes[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
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.
Azoxymethane can be used to induce colorectal cancer models.

Protocolo
The assay for Azoxymethane-induced in vitro DNA adduct formation is performed. Briefly, microsomes (0.5 to 2.0 mg/mL) are incubated with calf thymus DNA (1 mg/mL) and Azoxymethane (200 μM) in a total volume of 1.0 mL. The assay buffer consists of 0.1 M Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 1 mM EDTA, 20 mM MgCl2, 0.3 M KCl, and 1.5 mM NADPH. Incubations are carried out at 37°C for 60 min in a shaking water bath. An additional 30 nM of NADPH is added after the first 30 min. The reaction is stopped by the addition of 0.5 mL of ice-cold 7.5 M ammonium acetate. DNA is then extracted for tissue homogenates. Control incubations are performed without NADPH[1].

Male, 8 to 10 week old, WT-A/J, IECN-A/J, and LCN-A/J mice (8 per group) are treated with either saline or Azoxymethane (7.5 mg/kg BW, s.c.), once weekly for 3 weeks. Mice are sacrificed 6 weeks post-treatment for aberrant crypt foci (ACF) detection. The entire colon is excised. A longitudinal incision is made along the entire length of the colon, which is further cut into two equal-length segments, representing proximal and distal portions of the colon. The segments are dipped in PBS to remove fecal pellets and then kept flat between filter papers in 10% buffered formalin for at least 24 h. Subsequently, the colons are immersed in freshly prepared 0.1% methylene blue for 10 min and rinsed briefly in deionized H2O to remove excess dye. The colon is mounted carefully on a microscope slide with the mucosal surface side up and viewed under a light microscope. The ACF in the entire mucosal surface of the colon are counted blindly and independently by two investigators and recorded[1].
