Dorsomorphin (Compound C) (Synonyms: Compound C)

Cell lines

BUMPT-306

Preparation Method

Cells were cultured in DMEM/F12 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 10% streptomycin. Then, 20 μM cisplatin was used to induce obvious apoptosis as previously indicated

Reaction Conditions

Cells were cultured in 20 μM of cisplatin in the presence or absence of 20 mM compound C for 24 h. To evaluate the renal tubular cells apoptosis, morphologic assay and immunoblot were used to analyze the cleaved caspase3 and PARP.

Applications

Dorsomorphin (Compound C) could reduce the apoptosis of cells induced by cisplatin. Moreover, compound C also decreases the expression of c-caspase3 and c-PARP in cisplatin treatment, and the protective effect of compound C was dose-dependent.

Animal models

Male C57BL/6 mice (8–10 weeks)

Preparation Method

Mice were injected intraperitoneally with cisplatin (30 mg/kg) oncely. The control group of mice were injected with the same dose of saline. Dorsomorphin (Compound C) was dissolved in DMSO and injected intraperitoneally at 10 mg/kg 1 h before the injection of cisplatin. The no-compound C animals were administered with a comparable volume of DMSO. All the mice were euthanized at 72 h.

Dosage form

10 mg/kg

Applications

Dorsomorphin (Compound C) could reduce the severe renal tubular damage caused by cisplatin in mice. Compound C also reduces the apoptosis of renal tubular cells in mice.
