ADH-1 trifluoroacetate

Animal experiment:

Animals are anesthetized, and 40 μL of a single cell suspension containing 50,000 cells is injected into the pancreas. Mice are randomized into treatment groups 10 days after surgery. For treatment, mice are injected intraperitoneally once per day with ADH-1 at 50 mg/kg in 100 μL PBS (×1 per day, ×5 per week for 4 weeks). For in vivo bioluminescence, D-Luciferin is administered by intraperitoneal injection. Data are acquired 20 min after injection using the IVIS system. Tumor growth is monitored every 10 days from day 10 to day 50 after surgery. Luciferase activity is quantified using the IVIS system. Two months after surgery, the mice are killed, and the pancreas, liver, lung, and disseminated nodules are harvested, fixed in 10% buffered formalin, and embedded in paraffin. Serial 5-μM sections are cut, mounted on slides, and stained with H&E using standard procedures. Sections are also stained for TUNEL. Sections are examined using a Zeiss Axioscop 40 microscope equipped with an AxioCam MR digital camera and software.
