Bigelovin
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Bigelovin, a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Inula hupehensis, is a selective retinoid X receptor α agonist. Bigelovin suppresses tumor growth through inducing apoptosis and autophagy via the inhibition of mTOR pathway regulated by ROS generation.

Bigelovin (0-20 μM, 24-72 h) significantly inhibits cell viability of liver cancer cells and induces apoptosis and autophagy[1].
?
Bigelovin causes a significant increase of p62, LC3B-II, Beclin-1 and a corresponding decrease of p62 levels in a time-dependent manner[1].
?
Bigelovin induces cell death involves the suppression of mTOR pathway regulated by ROS production[1].

Concentration:0-20 μM.
-
Incubation Time:24, 48, 72 h.
-
Result:Significantly reduced the cell viability of HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells in a dose- and time dependent manner.
No significant difference observed in cell viability of normal liver cell lines, LO2 and LX2, after BigV treatment for 24, 48 or 72 h.
-
Cell Line:HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells.
-
Concentration:0-10 μM.
-
Incubation Time:24 h.
-
Result:The expression of Bcl-2 was decreased, whereas Bax was increased after treatment with BigV. Moreover, Caspase-9, -3 and PARP cleavage were activated significantly after BigV treatment.

Animal Model:HepG2 xenograft model based on the male athymic BALB/c nude mice (5-6 weeks old, 18-22 g)[1].
-
Dosage:5, 10, 20 mg/kg.
-
Administration:Intravenous injection every 2 days.
-
Result:The tumor growth rate was significantly slower in BigV treated groups in a dose-dependent manner, along with the reduced tumor weight.
No significant alteration of body weight and hepatic enzyme levels (AST, ALT and LDH) in serum was observed after BigV administration.
Western blot findings of tumor tissues indicated the activation of apoptosis and autophagy characterized by the increase of cleaved Caspase-3 and PARP, as well as LC3BII levels.
The inactivation of mTOR was also observed in tumor tissues isolated from BigV-treated mice.

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 (8.21 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 (8.21 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.
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.
