I'm planning to use MPTP and SHSY5Y cell line to model the PD in-vitro. but MPTP will not be metabolised to its neurotoxic form MPP+. Is there any way to do this step to prepare MPP+ then add it to the cells?
Personally, I wouldn't work with MPP+ for safety reasons.
In any case, MPTP can be converted to MPP+ by treatment with monoamine oxidase B. One commercial source of MAO-B is here, but it is very expensive.

It would be much cheaper to buy MPP+ (but please be careful):

Hi, you can directly purchase commercial MPP+ and add it to your neuronal culture at appropriate concentration.
Instead of checking only the mRNA level, I want to check the active protein level of MMP-1 in Liver tissue from mice. How can I do that?
