Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

Emodic acid (NSC624610) is an anthraquinone compound isolated from A. microcarpus, which can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells by inhibiting the activity of NF-κB. Emodic acid can also inhibit the phosphorylation of p38, ERK and JNK, the secretion of tumor-promoting cytokines IL-1β and IL-6, and the expression of VEGF and MMP, thereby inhibiting the invasion and migration potential of cancer cells.

In Vitro

Emodic acid(0-100 μM, 72 h) exhibits strong antiproliferative activity with the IC₅₀ values of 9.33, 8.56, 7.95 μM in murine mammary carcinoma 4T1, MDA-231 and MCF-7 cell lines, respectively^[1].
Emodic acid (50 μM, 24 h) can significantly inhibit NF-κB transcriptional activity by 80.75%, inhibit p65 phosphorylation and the mRNA expression of MMP-9 in 4T1 cell line^[1].
Emodic acid(50 μM, 24 h) can inhibit the secretion of tumor-promoting cytokines IL-1β and IL-6, as well as the expression of VEGF, thereby inhibiting the invasion and migration of 4T1 cells^[1].

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.
