Description

3-Methylcarbazole (NSC 10154) is a carbazole alkaloid with an IC50 of 25 μg/mL against human fibrosarcoma cells. 3-Methylcarbazole inhibits mycelial growth and conidial germination of a variety of phytopathogenic fungi. 3-Methylcarbazole exhibits anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities. 3-Methylcarbazole can be used in studies related to fibrosarcoma, phytopathogenic fungal infections and inflammatory diseases[1][2][3].

In Vitro

3-Methylcarbazole inhibits the growth of human fibrosarcoma HT-1080 cells, with an IC50 of 25 μg/mL[1].
3-Methylcarbazole (50-200 μg/mL; 17 h) exhibits no cell cycle inhibitory or apoptosis-inducing activity in mouse tsFT210 cells[1].
3-Methylcarbazole (0-480 µg/mL; 0-5 days) inhibits mycelial growth of Alternaria porri, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Colletotrichum musae, species of the genus Curvularia, species of the genus Drechslera, species of the genus Exserohilum, Fusarium oxysporum, species of the genus Verticillium, and Sclerotium rolfsii[2].
3-Methylcarbazole (30-480 µg/mL; 24 h) inhibits conidial germination of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in a concentration-dependent manner[2].
3-Methylcarbazole (2.5-20 μg/mL; 30 min pretreatment) dose-dependently inhibits the production of NO, PGE2, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 in LPS (HY-D1056)-stimulated RAW 264.7 murine macrophages[3].
3-Methylcarbazole (2.5-20 μg/mL; 30 min pretreatment) exhibits no cytotoxicity against RAW 264.7 murine macrophages even at concentrations as high as 20 μg/mL[3].

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

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 (13.79 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    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.

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.
