Description

Aftin-4 is an Amyloid-β42 (42) inducer.

IC50 & Target

Amyloid-β[1]

In Vitro

Aftin-4 selectively and potently increases Aβ1-42 in N2a cells, primary neurons, and brain lysates, with an EC50 value around 30 μM[1].

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

In Vivo

Aftin-4 increases Aβ1-42 levels in vivo in mice and provokes rapidly a sustained toxicity highly reminiscent of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Aftin-4 is administered at increasing doses, between 3 and 20 nmol/mouse, into the lateral ventricle and animals are sacrificed at various time points, between 3 to 14 days after injection. The hippocampus is dissected out the contents in Aβ1-40 or Aβ1-42 is determined using a mouse ELISA assay. Aftin-4 dose-dependently and significantly increases Aβ1-42 content, up to +216% at the highest dose tested[1].

In Vivo:

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.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.78 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.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

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

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.78 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.

Mice[1]
Male Swiss OF-1 mice, aged 7-9 weeks and weighing 32±2 g are used. Aftin-4 is solubilized in DMSO at a concentration of 3 mg/mL and stored at -20°C until use. Aftin-4 is administered intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v. ), with a Hamilton microsyringe equipped with a 3-mm needle in a final volume of 3 μL per mouse. The injection coordinates are -0.4 mm with respect to bregma, 1.00mm to the right from the central, and 2.50mm in depth. Aftin-4 is also injected intraperitoneally (i.p.). Aftin-4 is solubilized in DMSO 40% in distilled water at 2, 6 or 20 mg/mL and administered in a final volume of 100 μL/20 g body weight[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
