In Vitro

The anti-cancer effects of L-Ascorbic acid are determined by sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter 2 (SVCT-2), a transporter of L-ascorbic acid. L-Ascorbic acid (0.1 μM-2 mM) exhibits anti-cancer effects according to SVCT-2 expression and L-ascorbic acid uptake. Human colorectal cancer cell lines displays differential responses to L-ascorbic acid, primarily depending on the expression level of SVCT-2^[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Viability Assay^[4]

Cell Line:

High SVCT-2 expressing cell lines Sw620, Sw480, LoVo, SNU-C4; Low SVCT-2 expressing cell lines HCT15, HCT116, DLD-1, CoLo-205
Concentration:

0, 0.1 μM, 1 μM, 10 μM, 0.1 mM, 0.5 mM, 1 mM, and 2 mM
Incubation Time:

24 hours
Result:

Some high SVCT-2 expressing cancer cells demonstrated a dramatic cell-autonomous inhibitory effect of L-ascorbic acid.
Low SVCT-2 expressing cell lines showed biphasic responses to L-ascorbic acid.

Western Blot Analysis^[4]

Cell Line:

Sw620, Sw480, LoVo, SNU-C4, HCT15, HCT116, DLD-1, CoLo-205 cell lines
Concentration:

1 mM
Incubation Time:
Result:

The cell lines showed different levels of SVCT-2 expression in western blot analyses: Sw620, Sw480, and Lovo expressed high levels of SVCT-2 whereas HCT116, HCT15, and DLD-1 expressed low levels.

In Vivo

L-Ascorbic acid/Tolbutamide produces hypoglycaemic activity in a dose dependant manner in normal (60 mg/kg) and diabetic (40 mg/kg) condition. In the presence of L-ascorbic acid, Tolbuatmide (20 mg/kg) produces early onset of action and maintained for longer period compared to Tolbutamide matching control^[5].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model:

Normal rats:Albino rats of either sex weighing between 125-175 g^[5]
Dosage:

Group I received L-ascorbic acid 60 mg/kg, Group II received Tolbutamide 20 mg/kg and Group III was given L-ascorbic acid (60 mg/kg) prior to the administration of tolbutamide 20 mg/kg
Administration:

Administered orally
Result:

L-ascorbic acid at the dose of 60 mg/kg produced 50.91% blood glucose reduction at 0.5 h and 20 mg/kg body weight of Tolbutamide produced 33% at 4 h as peak effects. In the presence of L-ascorbic acid (60 mg/kg), the action of Tolbutamide was early in onset and maintained for 6 h.

Animal Model:

Diabetic rats:Albino rats of either sex weighing between 125 to 175 g were fasted overnight before injection with Alloxan^[5]
Dosage:

Group I received L-ascorbic acid 40 mg/kg and Group II received Tolbutamide 20 mg/kg while Group III was given L-ascorbic acid 40 mg/kg prior to Tolbutamide administration (20 mg/kg).
Administration:

Oral administration
Result:

L-ascorbic acid (40 mg/kg alone) produced 42.53% blood glucose reduction at 1.5 h and Tolbutamide 20 mg/kg produced 45.09 at 4 h. Administration of L-ascorbic acid 40 mg/kg body weight prior to Tolbutamide produced antidiabetic activity at 0.5 h and was maintained for 6 h.

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 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline

Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (28.39 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.

Protocol 2

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (28.39 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

Protocol 3

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% Corn Oil

Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (28.39 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 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 (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Working Solution

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly:

It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.

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: PBS

Solubility: 100 mg/mL (567.79 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic and warming and heat to 60°C

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.
