ProtocolIn VivoThe pluronic gel containing 80 nM and 80 μM Actinomycin D (Dactinomycin) is applied topically to surround the rat carotid adventitia, the thickness of neointima is substantially reduced (45 and 55%, respectively). Mice in the Actinomycin D and NSC 118218 group lives significantly longer than the control group with P values of <0.001 and 0.007, respectively. Interestingly, single treatment with Actinomycin D is superior to NSC 118218 regarding overall survival (P=0.026)
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.
