Cell Line:

HDFn (Human neonatal fibroblast cell line)
Concentration:

1 mg/mL, .2.5 mg/L, 5 mg/L, 7.5 mg/L and 10 mg/mL
Incubation Time:

24 h
Result:

Was extremely toxic to fibroblasts at 10mg/mL concentration, and 90% of the cells were still alive at5 mg/mL concentration.

In Vivo

Methyl nicotinate (5-10 mg.kg; Oral gavage; Single dose) has peripheral and central antialgesic activity in Swiss albino mice^[1].
Methyl nicotinate (5-10 mg/mL; 30-60 min) has vasodilatory effect in egg embryo eggs^[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model:

Writhing model of Swiss albino mice induced by acetic acid^[1]
Dosage:

5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg

Caused a significant reduction in the number of writhes induced by acetic acid.
At dose of 10 mg/kg, has a similar analgesic effect to Aspirin (HY-14654) within 30 minutes.

Animal Model:

Hot plate test Swiss albino mouse model^[1]
Dosage:

5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg
Administration:

Oral gavage; Single dose
Result:

Could significantly prolong the latency of mice's response to thermal pain after 30 minutes of administration.

Animal Model:

Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM) model^[2]
Dosage:

5 mg/mL/egg, 1 mg/mL/egg, 100 mg/mL/egg
Administration:
Result:

Promoted microvasodilation at 5 mg/mL/egg.
Promoted vasodilation to a greater extent, but mild bleeding occurred at 10 mg/mL/egg.
Caused extreme vasodilation, leading to blood vessel rupture and bleeding at 100 mg/mL/egg.

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (18.23 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 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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (18.23 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.

Protocol 3

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

Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (18.23 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 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 (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Working Solution

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

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.
