IQ-1S free acid

Cell experiment:

Human PBMCs are plated in 96-well plates at a density of 2×105 cells/well in culture medium supplemented with 3% (v/v) endotoxin-free FBS. PBMCs are pretreated with 20 μM IQ-1S or DMSO for 30 min, followed by addition of 200 ng/ml LPS for 24 h. A human cytokine MultiAnalyte ELISArray Kit is used to evaluate various cytokines (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-17A, interferon (IFN)-γ, TNF-α, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor in supernatants of PBMCs[1].

Animal experiment:

Mice[1]For in vivo analysis, 12.5 or 30 mg/kg i.p. doses of IQ-1S (The sodium salt of IQ-1) are administered to BALB/c mice (15-20 animals/group), and the mice are sacrificed at various time points after compound administration. For quantification, a calibration curve is established using mouse serum samples spiked with known concentrations of IQ-1S (0.1-20 μM), and a linear dependence of the peak area with IQ-1S concentration is obtained (correlation coefficient r=0.997). The area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC0-12h) is calculated using the linear trapezoidal method up to the last measured concentration[1].
