COA Handling Instructions

Procyanidin C1 (PCC1), a natural polyphenol with oral activity, causes DNA damage, cell cycle arrest and induces apoptosis. Procyanidin C1 decreases the level of Bcl-2, but enhances BAX, caspase 3 and 9 expression in cancer cells. Procyanidin C1 shows senotherapeutic activity and increases lifespan in mice.

Description

Procyanidin C1 (PCC1), a natural polyphenol with oral activity, causes DNA damage, cell cycle arrest and induces apoptosis. Procyanidin C1 decreases the level of Bcl-2, but enhances BAX, caspase 3 and 9 expression in cancer cells. Procyanidin C1 shows senotherapeutic activity and increases lifespan in mice[1][2].

IC50: 31.5 μg/mL (MCF-7), 36.6 μg/mL (MDA-MB-231)[1]

In Vitro

Procyanidin C1 (6.25-100 μg/mL; 48 h) shows cytotoxic activities to MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells[1].
Procyanidin C1 (35 μg/mL; 48 h) affects cell cycle of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells[1].
Procyanidin C1 significantly up-regulates Chk 1 and Chk 2 in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells[1].
Procyanidin C1 (27.85 and 66.41 μL) induces significant DNA damage in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells[1].
Procyanidin C1 (45 μg/mL; 72 h) reduces the expression level of Bcl-2 but increases the expression level of BAX, and increases activities of caspase 3 and 9 to induces cell apoptosis of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells[1].

In Vivo

Procyanidin C1 (20 mg/kg; i.p.; 2 weeks after the first MIT dose and then delivered biweekly) increases tumour regression[2].
Procyanidin C1 (20 mg/kg; i.p.; for 7 d) shows senolytic efficacy in mice with senescent mouse embryonic fibroblasts injection[2].
Procyanidin C1 (20 mg/kg; p.o.; for 3 d) increases the lifespan of old mice[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Non-obese diabetes and severe combined immunodficiency mice with PSC27 and PC3 cancer cells injection, and pre-treated with mitoxantrone (MIT)[2]
Dosage: 20 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; 20 mg/kg; 2 weeks after the first MIT dose and then delivered biweekly

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (2.88 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (2.88 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
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.

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.
