ProtocolIn VitroDapsone are added to cell lysates (100 μg of protein) and DHPS activity assay is tested. Dapsone exhibits an IC50 of 3.0 μg/ml for E. coli C600 in DHPS activity assay, but the growth of E. coli C600 is not inhibited at 256 μg/ml Dapsone. For the recombinant strain carrying M. leprae folP1 (pML101), Dapsone shows an IC50 of 0.06 μg/ml and a MIC of 1 μg/ml.
In VivoIn L. major-infected BALB/c MiceDapsone (topical treatment; 50 mg/kg; twice daily; 30 days) leads to sizes lesions around 186 mm2 compared to 125 mm2 for control mice. Furthermore, the amount of DAP quantified in the lesions treated with DAP cream is 9.6±8.5 µg of DAP/mg of skin. However, the number of parasites found in the spleen is significantly lower in mice treated with the cream than in non-treated mice.
These protocols are for reference only. InvivoChem does not independently validate these methods.

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 add µL PEG300, mix and clarify, next add µL Tween 80,mix and clarify, next add µL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
Note:
  • (1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
  • (2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
