Biological Activity
Description
In Vivo
Potassium bromide, 99% (50 mg/kg/day; oral administration; once a day for 28 days) in male Wistar rats in the object recognition task significantly decreases the DI, RI and the frequency of exploration[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:Male Wistar rats (weighing 200 ± 20 g)[1].
-
Dosage:50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, 150 mg/kg (single-dose ); 50 mg/kg/day (long-term treatment)
-
Administration:Oral administration; for acute treatment, single-dose; for long-term treatment, once a day for 28 days
-
Result:In the acute treatment, a single dose of 150 mg/kg significantly decreased the discrimination and recognition indices (DI and RI) in the object recognition task.
In the long-term treatment, significantly decreased the DI, RI and the frequency of exploration in the object recognition task.

Solvent & Solubility
In Vitro:
H2O : 100 mg/mL (840.34 mM; Need ultrasonic)
DMSO : 33.33 mg/mL (280.08 mM; ultrasonic and warming and heat to 60°C; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.

ROS/oxidative-stress fluorescent staining
ROS/oxidative-stress fluorescent staining uses cell-permeant fluorogenic probes that become fluorescent after oxidation inside cells or tissues; commonly used examples include DCFH-DA/DCFDA for broad cellular oxidant detection, DHE for superoxide-related signal detection, MitoSOX for mitochondrial superoxide-related signal detection, and CellROX probes for oxidative-stress-associated fluorescence readouts. The assay detects probe oxidation rather than a single ROS species unless the probe and analysis method have been chemically validated for that species. DCFH-DA enters cells, is deacetylated by intracellular esterases to DCFH, and produces fluorescent DCF after oxidation, so the readout is used as an operational measure of total cellular oxidative stress rather than a species-specific ROS measurement. DHE and MitoSOX can report superoxide-related oxidation, but red fluorescence alone can include non-specific ethidium-like oxidation products; HPLC or optimized spectral approaches are
