Product Data
Biological target:
Polysorbate 60 is an emulsifier used in some pharmaceuticals and food preparation.
In vitro activity:
This study investigated the optimal parameters for the emulsification of Taiwanese green propolis (TGP) using different polysorbates (polysorbate-20, polysorbate-60, and polysorbate-80) and evaluated the effects on the immunomodulatory response in broilers. The results showed that 4 mg/mL of TGP in combination with 2% polysorbate-60 at 60 °C for 60 min significantly decreased the undissolved particle size of ethanol extract of TGP during the emulsification. The bioactive compounds of TGP, the propolins (C, D, F, G, and H), were also detected after emulsification. Supplementation of emulsified TGP (eTGP) in the drinking water of broilers before and after vaccination significantly enhanced the antibody titer response to infectious bronchitis virus at 28 days of age. In the lipopolysaccharide-challenged model, supplementation of eTGP in the drinking water of broilers decreased pro-inflammatory gene expression and increased anti-inflammatory gene expression. These results together suggested that the polysorbate-60 could effectively emulsify the ethanol extract of TGP.

In vivo activity:
Nanoparticles (NPs) were encapsulated with a solution containing polysorbate 60 and the amphiphiles. Prepared 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid-IO-Mannose (NOTA-IO-Man) showed a narrow size distribution, and no significant aggregation or degradation under harsh conditions. The relaxivity coefficient of (68)Ga-NOTA-IO-Man was higher than that of ferumoxide. The accumulation of (68)Ga-NOTA-IO-Man in the lymph node after injection into rat's footpad was confirmed by both positron emission tomography and MRI.
