    Description

    Dioscin (CCRIS 4123; Collettiside III) is a natural plant-derived steroidal saponin that has good anti-cancer activity against a variety of cancer cells. Dioscin causes DNA damage and induces apoptosis in HeLa and SiHa cells. Dioscin regulates ROS-mediated DNA damage and mitochondrial signaling pathways, exerting anticancer activity[1][2][3][4][5][6].

    In Vitro

    Dioscin (1.25-5 μg/mL; 6-24 h) increases intracellular calcium levels and induces apoptosis in HeLa and SiHa cells[4].
    Dioscin (1.25-5 μg/mL; 6-24 h) Dioscin up-regulates the protein levels of Bak, Bax, Bid, p53, caspase-3, caspase-9, and down-regulates the proteins of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl level[4].

    In Vivo

    Dioscin (75-300 mg/kg, 10 mL/kg; oral gavage; 90 days) has no subchronic toxicity in female rats and mild subchronic toxicity in male rats. Dioscin caused mild gastrointestinal dilatation in male rats and demonstrated hemolytic anemia on hematological evaluation[5].
    Dioscin can reduce liver ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats by inhibiting oxidative-nitrative stress, inflammation and apoptosis[6].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (2.59 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (22.5 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (2.59 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (22.5 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
