Description of Chitin

Chitin es una variedad de azúcares extraídos de las cáscaras de los crustáceos marinos y se encuentra ampliamente en camarones y cangrejos en la naturaleza [1]. Chitin es un polisacárido lineal del aminoazúcar N-acetylglucosamine y está presente en la matriz extracelular de varios invertebrados, incluyendo esponjas, moluscos, nematodos y artrópodos, así como hongos [2]. La estructura de la quitina es comparable a la celulosa, formando nanofibrillas o bigotes cristalinos, y es funcionalmente comparable a la proteína queratina [3]. Chitin es un regulador dependiente del tamaño de la producción de TNF e IL-10 de macrófagos[4]. Chitin puede inducir la polarización de los macrófagos M2 in vivo activando las vías de señalización del receptor TLR2 y Dectin-1, promoviendo respuestas antiinflamatorias y de reparación de tejidos[5]. Chitin puede inducir a los fibroblastos a liberar interleucina-8 (IL-8), que está involucrada en la migración y proliferación de fibroblastos y células endoteliales vasculares[6].

Calculate

In vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution) of Chitin

Step 1: Enter information below (Recommended: An additional animal making an allowance for loss during the experiment)

mg/kg g μL

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.)

% DMSO % % Tween 80 % saline
%DMSO %

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.
