Bay 11-7085

Cell lines

ECSCs and NESCs

Preparation method

The solubility of this compound in DMSO is > 12.5 mg/mL. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below - 20 °C for several months.

Reacting condition

0.01 ~ 10 μM;

Applications

In ECSCs and NESCs, BAY 11-7085 significantly inhibited cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. At the dose of 10 μM, ECSCs and NESCs treated with BAY 11-7085 showed 66.1% and 54.7% decreases in cell viability, respectively. In addition, according to the results of the BrdU incorporation assay, at the dose of 10 μM, BAY 11-7085 significantly inhibited the BrdU incorporation of ECSCs in a dose-dependent manner (53.2% decrease), whereas BAY 11-7085 only showed a weak inhibitory effect on the BrdU incorporation of NESCs (38.2% decrease). Therefore, BAY 11-7085 showed stronger inhibitory effects on the cell viability and the cell proliferation of ECSCs than on those of NESCs.

Animal models

Rat model of pneumococcal meningitis

Dosage form

20 mg; i.p.

Applications

In rat model of pneumococcal meningitis, BAY 11-7085 significantly reduced meningitis-associated loss of cerebrovascular autoregulation. Besides, also BAY 11-7085 also significantly reduced increases in CSF WBCs, ICP and BBB permeability caused by pneumococcal infection. The results of Western blot analysis showed BAY 11-7085 inhibited meningitis-associated increase in NF-κB activity.

Other notes

Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
