Biological Activity
G6PDi-1 (10 μM, 2 h) increases the NADP+/NADPH ratio in mouse CD8+ and CD4+ T cells[1].
G6PDi-1 (50 μM, 0-300 min) inhibits mouse and human neutrophil oxidative burst[1].
G6PDi-1 inhibits the activity of G6PDH in lysates of cultured astrocytes with an IC50 of 102 nM, and lowers the total cellular WST1 reduction (0-100 μM, 60 min)[2].
G6PDi-1 (0-100 μM,) in combination with CB-839 (0-48 nM) shows synergistic cytotoxicity against A549 (KEAP1 mutant) cells and KPK (Keap1 KO) cells[3].

G6PDi-1 (10 μM; 30 min) did not induce reproducible changes of basal OXPHOS in real-time assays of oxygen consumption rate (OCR). MDDCs were preincubated for 30 min with 1 μM polydatin or 10 μM G6PDi-1 and then transferred to Seahorse plates. Stimulation was conducted with the injection of 0.4 mg of sonicated zymosan.

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 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (8.79 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
