Based on 8 publication(s) in Google Scholar

Rifaximin, a gastrointestinal-selective antibiotic, binds the β-subunit of bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, resulting in inhibition of bacterial RNA synthesis. Rifaximin susceptibility is higher against Gram-positive strains (MIC: 0.03-5 mg/ml) compared to Gram-negative bacteria (MIC: 8-50 mg/mL).

In Vivo

Rifaximin administration (30 or 50 mg/kg/day) increases survival rates of colitic mice and reduces colitis severity by improvement of wasting syndrome, histologic scores, decrease in colon IL-2, IL-12, IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha (protein and mRNA) levels, and diminishes colon myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity^[3].

Animal Model:

Balb/c mice (6–8 weeks old) bearing 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis^[3]
Dosage:

10, 30 and 50 mg/kg/day
Administration:

Orally, p.o. daily for 7 days
Result:

Significantly reduced TNBS induced colitis at the dose of 30 and 50 mg/kg, but not 10 mg/kg. A 7-day course of 30 and 50 mg/kg resulted in an almost complete tissue protection.

Stock Solution Working Solution

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 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline

Solubility: ≥ 3 mg/mL (3.82 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (30.0 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.

Protocol 2

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% Corn Oil

Solubility: ≥ 3 mg/mL (3.82 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3 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 (30.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Protocol 3

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

Solubility: 2.08 mg/mL (2.65 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.08 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 (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
