Alda-1 is a potent and selective Aldehyde Dehydrogenase-2 Agonist. Alda-1 reverses alcohol-induced hepatic steatosis and cell death in mice. Alda-1 inhibits atherosclerosis and attenuates hepatic steatosis in apolipoprotein E-knockout mice. Alda-1 reduces cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat through clearance of reactive aldehydes. Pharmacological activation of ALDH2 by Alda-1 reversed alcoholic steatosis and apoptosis through accelerating aldehyde clearance. This study indicates that ALDH2 is a promising molecular target and Alda-1 has therapeutic potential for treating alcoholic liver disease.

ln Vitro |
ROS was also higher in H/R cells than in control cells, which was aggravated upon treatment with 4-HNE, and reduced by Alda-1 treatment. Cell viability and mitochondrial membrane potential were inhibited in H/R cells, which was attenuated upon Alda-1 treatment. Activation of ALDH2 by Alda-1 attenuates hepatic I/R injury via clearance of cytotoxic aldehydes [6].

ln Vivo |
Alda-1 therapy resulted in a considerable decrease in 4-HNE protein concentration in the plasma of apoE−/− animals. Alda-1 injection resulted in a small increase in the expression of genes associated to neurogenesis (Nog), mitochondrial biogenesis (CYTB, ND1), and apoptosis (Bax, Gsk3b) in Hp of apoE−/− mice. Alda-1 treatment resulted in the synthesis of 2 and 10 differently expressed proteins in FCx and Hp, respectively, of apoE−/− mice [1]. Alda-1 (1.5 mg/kg, bw, IP) injection significantly increased climbing time in prenatally stressed rats in the forced swim test, tending to decrease immobility time and increase swimming time. Furthermore, treatment of prenatally stressed rats with Alda-1 dramatically enhanced the number of entry into the open arms of the labyrinth and the duration spent in the maze, as determined by the elevated plus maze test [2]. After 24 hours of glucose administration, Alda-1 (8.5 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection) and glucose dramatically reduced the number of 4-HNE and FJB-positive cells in the cerebral cortex of Alda-1-treated rats, which was significantly lower than that of DMSO-treated rats. [3]. Alda-1 (10 mg/kg per day) therapy avoids aldehyde excess, mitochondrial dysfunction and improves cardiac function in animals with post-MI cardiomyopathy [4].

Enzyme Assay |
Measurement of ALDH2 activity All procedures were performed in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The principle behind this is that ALDH2 catalyzes the reaction between acetaldehyde and NAD+, and the change in absorbance of NADH at 340 nm can be used to calculate the activity of ALDH2 [5].

Cell Assay |
In vitro model [5]
We used H9C2 cells within ten passages for cell culture. The medium was changed when the cells reached approximately 60% confluence. The cell models were divided into three plates: Alda-1 (CON, LPS, Alda-1, Alda-1 + LPS), daidzin (CON, LPS, daidzin (daidzin is an ALDH2 inhibitor), daidzin + LPS), cGAS-siRNA (CON, LPS, cGAS-siRNA + LPS, cGAS-siRNA + daidzin + LPS). The LPS treatment duration was 12 h, Alda-1 and daidzin pretreatment was performed for 2 h, and siRNA transfection was carried out for 48 h. The final concentrations of LPS, Alda-1 and daidzin were 10 μg/ml (Wang et al. 2019), 20 μM (Ji et al. 2016) and 48 μM (Ji et al. 2016), respectively.[5] siRNA transfection[5] Cell culture was performed in a 6-well plate per the manufacturer’s instructions. When the cells reached 30–40% confluence, the medium was changed to Opti-MEM™ I with reduced serum, and Lipofectamine 3000 was to transfect NC-small interfering RNA and cGAS-siRNA. The medium was replaced with complete culture medium after 6 h.[5] |
Animal Protocol |
We investigated the influence of Alda-1, a small-molecule activator of ALDH2, on depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors in an animal model of depression - the prenatally stressed rats - using behavioral, molecular and proteomic methods. Prolonged Alda-1 administration significantly increased the climbing time, tended to reduce the immobility time and increased the swimming time of the prenatally stressed rats in the forced swim test. Moreover, treatment of prenatally stressed rats with Alda-1 significantly increased number of entries into the open arms of the maze and the time spent therein, as assessed by elevated plus-maze test. Such actions were associated with reduction of plasma 4-HNE-protein content, decrease of TNF-α mRNA and increase of PGC-1α (regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis) mRNA level in the frontal cortex and hippocampus of the prenatally stressed rats as well as with normalization of peripheral immune parameters and significant changes in expression of 6 and 4 proteins related to mitochondrial functions in the frontal cortex and hippocampus, respectively. Collectively, ALDH2 activation by Alda-1 led to a significant attenuation of depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors in the prenatally stressed rats. The pattern of changes suggested mitoprotective effect of Alda-1, however the exact functional consequences of the revealed alterations require further investigation [2].

For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
