Biological Activity
Dipyrithione (20 μg/mL) shows antifungal activity with MIC values of 6.03 μM for Trichophyton rubrum[1].
Dipyrithione (72 h) shows cytotoxic activity against 293 T cells with an IC50 value of 0.22 μM[1].
Dipyrithione (1-5 μM; 8.5 h) inhibits LPS (100 ng/ml)-induced up-regulation of iNOS and COX-2 in RAW264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner[2].
Dipyrithione (1 μM; 8.5 h) suppresses LPS-induced increase of iNOS but not COX-2 mRNA level, inhibits LPS-increased NO production[2].
Dipyrithione (3 μM; 2, 5 h) decreases phosphorylation of STAT1 induced by LPS and does not influence LPS-induced MAPK and NF-κB activation in RAW 246.7 cells[2].
Dipyrithione (0-5 μg/mL; 48 h) shows antiproliferative activity for KB, 231, U937 and K562 cells in a dose dependent manner[3].
Dipyrithione (2.5 μg/ml) induces apoptosis and cycle arrest at G1 phase[3].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 10 mg/mL (39.63 mM; ultrasonic and warming and heat to 60°C; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

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: ≥ 1 mg/mL (3.96 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (10.0 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: ≥ 1 mg/mL (3.96 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (10.0 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.
