ProtocolIn VitroMethyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate (Protocatechuic acid methyl ester; Methyl protocatechuate) alleviates the toxic effects of F- via modulating its bioavailability, intracellular calcium level, mitochondrial membrane integrity and redox signaling in A549 cells.
In VivoMethyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate (Protocatechuic acid methyl ester; Methyl protocatechuate) (25 or 50 mg/kg bw/day) prevents the cellular F- accumulation and oxidative stress. Methyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate prevents the inflammatory and associated fibrosis progression by restoring the expression of RAGE and Nrf2.
These protocols are for reference only. InvivoChem does not independently validate these methods.

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 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.
