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

Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
M14 human melanoma cells are used and grown in RPMI containing 10% fetal calf serum, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, and 25 μg/mL fungizone. After 24 h of incubation at 37°C under a humidified 5% carbon dioxide to allow cell attachment, the cells are treated with different concentrations (12, 25, 50, and 100 μM) of Genistin and daidzin, and incubated for 72 h under the same conditions[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Sprague-Dawley rats (male, 250 to 300 g) are used to establish the I/R injury animal model and used in this experiment. Rats are randomly apportioned in equal animals (n=10) to five experimental groups: (1) sham group: rats are subjected to the entire surgical procedure but without the induction of I/R; (2) model group: I/R injury animal model is constructed by left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) ligation for 30 min, and then the LAD is allowed 1 h reperfusion; and (3) three Genistin-treated groups: different doses (20, 40, and 60 mg/kg body weight, resp.) of Genistin dissolved in 0.5% sodium carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC-Na) solution are given intragastrically for 5 days before operation[2].
