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

Protocol
KG1a cells are transiently transfected with EGFP-tagged mouse PKC-δ subcloned into pEGFP-N1 plasmid using an Amaxa nucleofection apparatus. Cells are treated with Ingenol Mebutate (0.2 μM-20 μM) 24 hours after transfection. Cell viability in EGFP-positive cells is assessed and loss of viability confirmed in the total cell culture by MTT assay after 3 days. Briefly, 24 hours after transfection, 2 × 104 cells are plated in 5 wells in 96-well plates and exposed to 0, 0.2, 2, and 20 μM Ingenol Mebutate. At 72 hours, 20 μL MTT substrate at 5 mg/mL is added and plates are incubated at 37°C. After 3 hours, 150 μL media is removed and replaced with 200 μL dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Absorbance at an optical density (OD) of 550 nm is read on a plate reader and corrected for absorbance obtained from blank media controls[2].
