Description

General description

Particle size and shape: Vehicle control mean particle size is 80 to 90 nm, with very small poly-dispersity valueFormulation: The long-circulating, pegylated, liposomal carrier is composed of N-(carbonyl-ethoxypolyethylene glycol 2000)-1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine sodium salt (MPEG-DSPE), 3.19 mg/ml; fully hydrogenated soy phosphatidylcholine (HSPC), 9.58 mg/ml; cholesterol, 3.19 mg/ml, ammonium sulfate, approximately 2 mg/ml; histidine as a buffer; hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide for pH control; and sucrose to maintain isotonicity. The Control is provided as a sterile, translucent, liposomal dispersion in single-use, 2 ml or 5 ml vials.Buffer: 10 mM histidine buffer, pH 6.5-6.8, with 10% w/v sucrose.

Application

Intravenous (i.v.) injection in flank or orthotopic animal models of cancer.

Packaging

2 mL Clear Glass Vial with Stopper and Crimp Cap (300103S-1EA)

Storage and Stability

Diacylglycerols are conveniently stored in chloroform solutions in glass vials with PTFE-lined caps at -20°C. Under these conditions acyl migration is minimal. Avoid plastic when handling chloroform solutions.

Store undiluted at 2°-8° C. Do Not Freeze.

Other Notes

Delivery to cells: Dry samples of diacylglycerol in chloroform, using a stream of nitrogen. Dissolve the residue in an appropriate volume of ethanol or DMSO, then dilute to the desired aqueous medium.

Effective concentration: Most biological responses saturate at 20 to 250 μM sn-1,2-dioctanoylglycerol. Only sn-1,2 isomers appear to be active.

Precaution: Since short chain Diacylglycerols mimic effects of the tumor-promoting phorbol diesters in a number of biological systems, extra care should be employed in their handling. Treatment of solutions, vessels and other articles with 1N NaOH before washing or discarding will destroy diacylglycerols.
