General description

Poloxamer 407 is a water-soluble, non-ionic surfactant with low toxicity and good solubilizing capacity. This triblock copolymer is composed of a hydrophobic residue of polyoxypropylene (POP) flanked by two hydrophilic units of polyoxyethylene (POE).

Application

Poloxamer 407 has been used:

as an inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase activity to assess hepatic very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)- triglyceride (TG) secretion in mice
for VLDL secretion assay in mice
to intraperitoneally inject the mice by dissolving in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) for hepatic triglyceride production

Biochem/physiol Actions

Poloxamer 407 (P407) exhibits reversible gelation properties above a particular polymer concentration and temperature. Poloxamer 407-based sterile injectable formulations serve to be a good candidate for drug delivery. P407 thermo-responsive hydrogels are broadly used as mucosal drug delivery systems as they do not irritate the mucosal membranes. P407 is called an “inactive ingredient” by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for several drug products like oral solutions, suspensions, and inhalation formulations.

Predicting Silk Fiber Mechanical Properties through Multiscale Simulation and Protein Design.

Nae-Gyune Rim et al.

ACS biomaterials science & engineering, 3(8), 1542-1556 (2017-10-03)

Silk is a promising material for biomedical applications, and much research is focused on how application-specific, mechanical properties of silk can be designed synthetically through proper amino acid sequences and processing parameters. This protocol describes an iterative process between research

Digitoxigenin presents an effective and selective antileishmanial action against Leishmania infantum and is a potential therapeutic agent for visceral leishmaniasis.

Camila S Freitas et al.

Parasitology research, 120(1), 321-335 (2020-11-17)

Treatment for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is hampered mainly by drug toxicity, their high cost, and parasite resistance. Drug development is a long and pricey process, and therefore, drug repositioning may be an alternative worth pursuing. Cardenolides are used to treat

Origin and Function of Stress-Induced IL-6 in Murine Models.

Hua Qing et al.

Cell, 182(2), 372-387 (2020-07-02)

Acute psychological stress has long been known to decrease host fitness to inflammation in a wide variety of diseases, but how this occurs is incompletely understood. Using mouse models, we show that interleukin-6 (IL-6) is the dominant cytokine inducible upon

Aggregation behaviors of PEO-PPO-ph-PPO-PEO and PPO-PEO-ph-PEO-PPO at an air/water interface: experimental study and molecular dynamics simulation.

Houjian Gong et al.

Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids, 28(38), 13590-13600 (2012-09-08)

The block polyethers PEO-PPO-ph-PPO-PEO (BPE) and PPO-PEO-ph-PEO-PPO (BEP) are synthesized by anionic polymerization using bisphenol A as initiator. Compared with Pluronic P123, the aggregation behaviors of BPE and BEP at an air/water interface are investigated by the surface tension and

Promoting immobilization and catalytic activity of horseradish peroxidase on mesoporous silica through template micelles.

Mi Mi Wan et al.

Journal of colloid and interface science, 377(1), 497-503 (2012-04-18)

New concept on the promotion of immobilization and catalytic activity of enzyme on mesoporous silica through template micelles is proposed and realized in this paper. Proper P123 templates are controllable retained in the as-synthesized SBA-15, not only to anchor the
