Biological Activity
Erucin (ERU) (0-100 μM) releases H2S and inhibits cell viability in AsPC-1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
Erucin inhibits cell migration and altered the AsPC-1 cell cycle, reducing G0/G1 phase and increasing G2/M and S phases[1].
Erucin (30 μM, 72 h) induces AsPC-1 cell apoptosis and inhibits cell migration[1].
Erucin reduces levels of phosphorylated ERK1/2 in AsPC-1 cells[1].
Erucin (0-200 μM, 24 h) shows antiproliferative activity with an IC50 of 97.7 μM in A549 cells[2].
Erucin (0-50 μM, 24 h) induces the cleavage of PARP-1 at 50 μM, and increases p53 and p21 protein expression in A549 cells[2].
Erucin decreases LPS-induced production of NO, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in RAW 264.7 cells[3].
Erucin decreases LPS-induced expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in RAW 264.7 cells[3].

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 (15.50 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 (15.50 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
