Animal experiment: |
Female A/J mice are randomized into eight groups (n=8): (i) control; (ii)Benzo[a]pyrene (B(a)P)+vehicle (methocel); (iii) Benzo[a]pyrene+roflumilast 1 mg/kg; (iv) Benzo[a]pyrene+roflumilast 5 mg/kg; (v) Benzo[a]pyrene+aerozolie phosphate-buffer saline (PBS); (vi) Benzo[a]pyrene+aerosolize budesonide 2.25 mg/mL; (vii) Benzo[a]pyrene+aerosolized budesonide 2.25 mg/mL+roflumilast 1 mg/kg; and (viii) Benzo[a]pyrene+aerosolize budesonide 2.25 mg/mL+roflumilast 5 mg/kg groups. A single dose of Benzo[a]pyrene in corn oil is given intraperitoneally once at 100 mg/kg body weight. Roflumilast (1 or 5 mg/kg) is started 2 weeks after Benzo[a]pyrene. It is continued for 26 weeks (3 days/week) via oral gavage. Mice in the Benzo[a]pyrene+vehicle group are treated with an equal volume of methocel as solvent control. Aerosolizing budesonide is administrated by inhaling route as an aerosol at a dose of 2.25 mg/mL for 2 min per application at 2 weeks after Benzo[a]pyrene. It is continued for 26 weeks (5 days/week). PBS is also used as solvent control by inhaling route after Benzo[a]pyrene administration in the Benzo[a]pyrene+PBS group. Mice are killed at 28 weeks after exposure to Benzo[a]pyrene. Their lungs are excised and stored at -70 °C[2]. |

Benzo[a]pyrene shows lung carcinogenicity in animal models, and it is frequently used in chemoprevention studies.
Statistically significant decrease is observed at 7 weeks in females receiving 1.0 mg Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) compare with the vehicle group. As lung tumorigenesis induced by Benzo[a]pyrene is dose dependent in female A/J mice. The incidence of hyperplasia values in females treating with 0.25, 0.50, and 1.0 mg Benzo[a]pyrene are significantly higher than in the vehicle-treated group. The incidence of adenoma in females receiving 1.0 mg Benzo[a]pyrene is significantly higher than in the vehicle group. The multiplicity of hyperplasia in females receiving 0.50 or 1.0 mg Benzo[a]pyrene is significantly higher than in the vehicle group. The multiplicity of adenoma in the group treated with 1.0 mg is also significantly higher than in the vehicle group. The incidences of hyperplasia and adenoma in female A/J mice are significantly increased by Benzo[a]pyrene in a dose-dependent manner[1]. Benzo[a]pyrene induces an average of 9.38±1.75 tumors with an average tumor load of 19.53±3.81 mm3 (P<0.05 compare to control). Benzo[a]pyrene administration significantly (P<0.05) decreases cAMP levels in tumors with adjacent lung tissues. The expression level of PDE4D gene is also increased by Benzo[a]pyrene administration[2].

General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |

Working concentration: mg/ml;
Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.
Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
