In Vitro

Ferruginol (0-160 μM; 24 hours) exerts potent antiproliferative action against thyroid cancer cells, and an IC₅₀ of 12 μM for the MDA-T32 cell line. The toxic effects of Ferruginol are less pronounced against normal cells^[1].
Ferruginol (0-24 μM; 24 hours) induces apoptotic cell death of MDA-T32 cells. Ferruginol increases Bax expression and decreases Bcl-2 expression dose-dependently^[1].
Ferruginol (0-24 μM; 24 hours) inhibits the MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway of MDA-T32 cells^[1].
Ferruginol (0-24 μM; 24 hours) also causes ROS mediated alterations in the MMP of MDA-T32 cells^[1].

In Vivo

Ferruginol (20 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; for 4 weeks) exerts cardioprotection manifested as enhanced cardiac function and reduced structural damage and apoptosis. The transcriptome and other results revealed that Ferruginol facilitates PGC-1α-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis and fatty acid oxidation (MB and FAO) by increasing the expression of PGC-1α and concurrently promoting the expression of SIRT1-enhancing deacetylase SIRT1 deacetylating and activating PGC-1α^[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% Corn Oil

Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.73 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs

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.
