Product Description
Pimonidazole is a hypoxia marker used for complementary studies of intratumoral hypoxia and cell growth/proliferation. Pimonidazole accumulates in hypoxic cells either by covalent binding to macromolecules or by being reduced to form reductive metabolites and may be utilized to qualitatively and quantitatively assess tumor hypoxia.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
When the oxygen content falls below 1.3%, the chemical trimonidine, a 2-nitroimidazole, forms a covalent link with cellular macromolecules and serves as an exogenous hypoxia marker. Detection: Using cellular monoclonal antibodies, immunohistochemical detection of pimonidazole can identify hypoxic cells. The detection of cell proliferation is accelerated by commercially available monoclonal antibodies for ischemia cell nuclear repair (PCNA). Spot counting and image analysis tools were utilized to discover pimonidazole hydrochloride-protein adducts, which were then confirmed by immunofluorescence. Hypoxia and cell proliferation were qualitatively evaluated by light microscopy. Pimonidazole hydrochloride (10–100 μM) was used to treat the cells until 90% confluence was reached. Next, the cells were mounted using Prolong Gold with DAPI mounting medium [3 4 hours], washed four times with HBSS, fixed for ten minutes with 10% neutral solution, and then washed three times with buffered saline and formalin buffer. Prior to fixation, tissues were extracted and kept in 400 μM pimonidazole hydrochloride for two hours in order to track in vivo hypoxic signals. Antibodies produced against the protein addition pimonidazole hydrochloride were used for immunostaining [4].
ln Vivo
Pimonidazole is a 2-nitroimidazole that is activated by potentiometric reduction in hypoxic cells and is a persistent adduct with thiol groups in proteins, peptides and amino acids. Furthermore, the amount of pimonidazole hydrochloride found was closely linked to the extent of hypoxia within the tumor in vivo. This handy tool provides the following choices to examine hypoxia levels in the body. 1. Pimonidazole hydrochloride is suspended in 0.9% diluted physiological saline or PBS at a dosage of 30 mg/mL. 2. Inject 60 mg/kg of pimonidazole hydrochloride into several intravenous veins (tail vein). 3. Make internal circulation of the nozzle for 90 minutes, and then euthanize the mice with halothane or high pressure (CO2). NOTE: For animal euthanasia: follow proper IACUC protocols! 4. Kill the mice, take the organs, weigh them, then immediately freeze them, and store them. 5. Pimonidazole hydrochloride dye can be utilized for paraffin-embedded tissues, frozen tissues and cell lines. Organs were embedded in OCT, put in a cryostat, and incubated in 10 μM thick sections. The portions will be extracted and stained on glass slides.

Additional Infomation
Pimonidazole Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of pimonidazole, a hypoxia-selective 2-nitroimidazole with potential radiosensitizing activity. Pimonidazole is reduced in hypoxic environments such as those found in tumors. In hypoxic cells and tumors, reduced pimonidazole binds to thiol-containing proteins and glutathione. The resulting complexes accumulate in hypoxic tumors, deplete radioprotective thiol compounds, and cause the tumor to be more susceptible to radiation treatment.

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.
