Anthraflavic acid
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Anthraflavic acid specifically inhibits the activity of cytochrome P-448 without affecting phenobarbital-induced cytochrome P-450 or NADPH-dependent cytochrome c reduction. Anthraflavic acid inhibits cytosolic metabolic pathways, blocks the microsomal and cytosolic activation of IQ, and reduces the metabolic activation level of Glu-P-I. Anthraflavic acid may exert anticancer activity by inhibiting the metabolic activation of chemical carcinogens. Anthraflavic acid is applicable to cancer-related research.

Anthraflavic acid (5×10−7-5×10−5 M; 20 min) potently inhibits S9-mediated mutagenicity of IQ in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA98 in a concentration-dependent manner, with complete inhibition observed at 5×10−5 M[1].
Anthraflavic acid (1×10−7-5×10−5 M; 20 min post-microsomal reaction termination) inhibits cytosol-mediated potentiation of microsome-generated IQ mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA98, with a pronounced effect at 5×10−5 M[1].
Anthraflavic acid (5×10−7-5×10−5 M) potently and concentration-dependently reduces cytochrome P-448-dependent Glu-P-1 mutagenicity in the Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium strain TA 98 and an Arochlor-1254-induced rat hepatic S9 activation system, and shows no mutagenic activity itself[2].
Anthraflavic acid (5×10−7-5×10−5 M) does not inhibit NADPH-dependent cytochrome c reductase activity in Arochlor-1254-induced rat hepatic microsomes, even at concentrations up to 5×10−5 M, showing it does not interfere with electron flow to cytochrome P-450[2].

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: 1.67 mg/mL (6.95 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 1.67 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 (16.7 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.
