Biological Activity

Description Cepharanthine (NSC-623442) is a biscoclaurine alkaloid inhibiting tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-mediated NFκB stimulation, plasma membrane lipid peroxidation and platelet aggregation and suppressing cytokine production.
In vitro
In vitro Treatment of SaOS2 cells with Cepharanthine (CEP) (2.5-20 μmol/L) inhibits the cell growth in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. CEP (10 μmol/L) caused cell cycle arrest at G(1) phase and induced apoptosis of SaOS2 cells. CEP (10 and 15 μmol/L) significantly decreases the expression of STAT3 in SaOS2 cells. Furthermore, CEP (5 and 10 μmol/L) significantly inhibits the expression of target genes of STAT3, including the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-xL and the cell cycle regulators c-Myc and cyclin D1.
In Vivo
In vivo In nude mouse xenografts of SaOS2 cells, Cepharanthine (CEP) (20 mg•kg(-1)•d(-1), ip for 19 d) significantly reduces the volume and weight of the tumor.

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
