In Vitro

Butein potently inhibits cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase (type IV) activity with an IC₅₀ of 10.4±0.4 μM. In contrast, phosphodiesterase I, III and V activities were inhibited by Butein above 100 μM^[1].
Butein, a plant polyphenol, is a specific protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Butein inhibits not only the EGF-stimulated auto-phosphotyrosine level of EGFR in HepG2 cells but also tyrosine-specific protein kinase activities of EGFR (IC₅₀=16 μM) and p60^c-src (IC₅₀=65 μM) in vitro^[2].
Butein (10, 20, and 40 μM; 24, 48, and 72 hours) inhibits cell growth in a dose- and time-dependent manner^[3].
Butein exhibits anticancer activity through the inhibition of the activation of PKB/AKT and MAPK pathways, which are two pathways known to be involved in resistance to cisplatin. Butein (20 μM) decreases phosphorylation of AKT, ERK and p38 following 24 h of co-treatment with Cisplatin (20 μM)^[3].

Stock Solution Working Solution

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 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.18 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 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

Protocol 2

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline

Solubility: 1.67 mg/mL (6.13 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

This protocol yields a suspended solution of 1.67 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 (16.7 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.

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
