Isoandrographolide is an orally active NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor and AKT/GSK-3β/β-catenin pathway inhibitor. Isoandrographolide inhibits the expression of NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1, and reduces the levels of phosphorylated AKT, phosphorylated GSK-3β, and β-catenin. Isoandrographolide alleviates inflammatory responses, reduces collagen deposition, suppresses epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), induces differentiation of leukemia cells, inhibits the growth of leukemia cells, protects lung and kidney tissues, regulates cytokine levels, and also exhibits hepatoprotective effects. Isoandrographolide can be used in studies related to silicosis, murine myeloid leukemia, renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

In Vivo:

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.

  • Protocol 1

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
