Chitin is a variety of sugars extracted from the shells of marine crustaceans and is widely found in shrimp and crabs in nature[1]. Chitin is a linear polysaccharide of the amino sugar N-acetylglucosamine and is present in the extracellular matrix of various invertebrates, including sponges, mollusks, nematodes and arthropods, as well as fungi[2]. The structure of chitin is comparable to cellulose, forming crystalline nanofibrils or whiskers, and is functionally comparable to the protein keratin[3]. Chitin is a size-dependent regulator of macrophage TNF and IL-10 production[4]. Chitin can induce M2 macrophage polarization in vivo by activating TLR2 and Dectin-1 receptor signaling pathways, promoting anti-inflammatory and tissue repair responses[5]. Chitin can induce fibroblasts to release interleukin-8 (IL-8), which is involved in the migration and proliferation of fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells[6].

| 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. |

Step 2: Enter the in vivo formulation (This is only the calculator, not formulation. Please contact us first if there is no in vivo formulation at the solubility Section.)
Calculation results:
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 saline, 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.
