Biological Activity
Astragaloside III (3.125-6.25 μg/mL) shows antiviral activity against dengue serotype 1 and serotype 3[1].
Astragaloside III (4-40 nM) can significantly increase the expression of NKG2D and the production of IFN-γ in NK cells[2].
Astragaloside III (10 μM; 8 h) significantly reduces the cell viability of bEnd.3 cells (about 10%)[3].
Astragaloside III (10-100 ng/mL; 24-48 h) reduces the viability of MCF-7 breast cancer cells and increase the apoptosis rate[4].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Line:Mouse brain microvascular endothelial bEnd.3 cells
-
Concentration:1000 nM
-
Incubation Time:5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 120 min
-
Result:Induced phosphorylation of TACE.
Astragaloside III (10-20 mg/kg; i.p.; every 2 days) can inhibit the growth of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer xenografts in nude mice and increase tumor cell apoptosis[4].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:Female BALB/c mice (6-8 weeks old) with CT26 colon cancer xenografts[2]
-
Dosage:50 mg/kg (mixed with 10% PEG-200 and 10% ethanol)
-
Administration:Intravenous injection, once every 2 days, for 5 times
-
Result:Significantly reduced tumor weight and volume.
Decreased the fold change of tumor volume increase, prolonged the survival rate (30% survival by day 50 vs. all dead in control by day 40).
Increased NK cell infiltration in tumors, and upregulated NKG2D, IFN-γ, and Fas expression in NK cells without obvious organ toxicity.

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.18 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (3.18 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 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.
