Bardoxolone  (Synonyms: CDDO; RTA 401)

Cat. No.: HY-14909 Purity: 99.50%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Bardoxolone (RTA 401; CDDO) is an orally active activator of nuclear regulatory factor (NRf-2) and an inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease. Bardoxolone inhibits SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease with an EC50 value of 0.43 μM in vero cells. Bardoxolone also inhibits necroptosis in HT-29 cells with an EC50 value of 1.30 μM by blocking necrosome formation through inhibiting phosphorylation of RIPK1 and RIPK3. Bardoxolone can be used in research on COVID-19, TNF-induced systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.08 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.08 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Animal Administration
[3][4]

Monkeys[3]
Two separate studies are conducted in cynomolgus Monkeys. In one, cynomolgus Monkeys (n=9 per sex/dose group) are orally administered Bardoxolone methyl at 5, 30, and 300 mg/kg once daily for 12 months, with an interim analysis at 6 months and a postdose recovery analysis 4 weeks after the final dose, in a GLP environment. In a second study, female cynomolgus Monkeys (n=6 for vehicle and n=12 for treatment) are administered Bardoxolone methyl (30 mg/kg per day), as above, once daily for 28 days.
Mice[4]
Male C57BL/6J mice are used. After 1 week of acclimatisation to the institutional animal facility (temperature 22°C, 12 h light/dark cycle), the animals are divided into three groups (n=7): (1) mice fed a normal diet (LFD group); (2) mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD group) (40% fat); and (3) mice fed the same HFD and supplemented with BARD in drinking water (10 mg/kg body weight) (HFD/BARD group). The dose and oral administration of BARD are chosen. After 21 weeks, all mice are euthanized using CO2 asphyxiation. Part of the mesenteric fat mass in each animal is collected and stored at −80°C for Western blot analysis. Another portion of the mesenteric fat depot is fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and embedded in paraffin for the determination of morphology and immunohistochemistry.

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
