Description of Alda 1

Alda 1 is an aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) activator [1]. Alda 1 specifically activating the ALDH2 enzyme in mitochondria, enhances the enzyme's ability to metabolize toxic aldehydes such as acetaldehyde, thereby reducing cellular damage caused by these substances [2-3]. Alda 1 is primarily used to study diseases associated with abnormal acetaldehyde metabolism [4].

In human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells, Alda 1 (20μM; 1h) pretreatment can alleviate lung ischemia-reperfusion injury [5]. In SH-SY5Y cells, pretreatment with Alda 1 (20 μM; 24 h) restored ALDH2 activity and content, increased mitochondrial membrane potential, and reduced reactive oxygen species in cells [6].

In C57BL/6J mice, after Alda 1 (5mg/kg; ip; single injection) administration elevated hepatic ALDH activity, which was blocked by the specific ALDH2 inhibitor, daidzin [7]. In liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) mice model, Alda 1 (30mg/kg; ip; single injection) mediated ALDH2 activation may improve hepatic IRI by scavenging reactive aldehydes and enhancing autophagy [8]. In hyperoxia mice model, Alda 1 (8mg/kg; sc; 48h) pretreatment attenuates hyperoxia-induced immune cell infiltration [9].

Protocol of Alda 1

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells

Preparation Method

Primary human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells were cultured at 37℃ and 5% CO2, in alveolar epithelial cell medium and endothelial cell-growth medium MV2. Hypoxia was induced by exposing the cells for 24 hours to serum-deprived media in a sealed anaerobic jar fitted with an AnaeroPack to scavenge any free oxygen. The cells were then washed with PBS and were reoxygenated for 2 hours under normal conditions in complete medium. Alda 1, 20μM, was added to the medium for 1 hour before hypoxic exposure of the hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) + Alda 1 group.

Reaction Conditions

20μM; 1h

Applications

Alda 1 pretreatment can alleviate lung ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

C57BL/6J mice

Preparation Method

Mice were given 5mg/kg body weight (BW) Alda 1 (dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide, DMSO) at 9:00 am via three routes, intraperitoneal injection (i.p.). Livers were collected 3 hours after treatments, and hepatic ALDH activity was immediately measured. To assess the specificity of Alda 1 on activating ALDH2, mice were given an ALDH2 specific inhibitor, daidzin, at 50mg/kg BW (dissolved in DMSO) via i.p. along with 5mg/kg BW Alda 1 administration at 9:00 am (n = 4). Three hours later, liver and ileum were collected, mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions from the liver were isolated, and ALDH activity was immediately measured.

Dosage form

5mg/kg; ip; single injection

Applications

One dose of Alda 1 administration elevated hepatic ALDH activity, which was blocked by the specific ALDH2 inhibitor, daidzin.
