Pidotimod is an orally active dipeptide immunostimulant with immunomodulatory properties on the adaptive and the innate immune responses. Pidotimod increases macrophage activity and humoral immune functions. Pidotimod can be used for the research of chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, and chronic idiopathic urticaria,et al.

Description

Pidotimod is an orally active dipeptide immunostimulant with immunomodulatory properties on the adaptive and the innate immune responses. Pidotimod increases macrophage activity and humoral immune functions. Pidotimod can be used for the research of chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, and chronic idiopathic urticaria,et al[1][2].

In Vivo

In toxicology study in animals, Pidotimod (oral gavage; 800 mg/kg;12 months) is non-toxic in rats and is non-toxic dogs at 600 mg/kg. Pidotimod is non-teratogenic in rats (600 mg/kg orally or 1000 mg/kg IV) and has no effects on subsequent embryofoetal development in rats (up to 1000 mg/kg/day),it has no perinatal or postnatal toxic effects in rats (600 mg/kg orally)[1].
In ex vivo experiments in mice, Pidotimod (intraperitoneal administration; 200 mg/kg; 5 days) potentiats natural killer (NK) cell activity and produces an increase in the proliferative response to mitogens such as concanavalin A (ConA) and interleukin-2 (IL-2)[2].
Pidotimod (intraperitoneal administration; 10-100 mg/kg) normalizes depletion of peritoneal macrophage numbers, and significantly increases macrophage superoxide anion (O2–) production in methylprednisolone-induced immunosuppressed mice[2].

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 (10.23 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.

    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 (10.23 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.

    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.

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.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  PBS

    Solubility: 14.29 mg/mL (58.50 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic and warming and heat to 60°C

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.
