Justicidin B inhibits the growth of the pathogenic fungi Aspergillus fumigatus (MIC ≥ 1 μg/mL), Aspergillus flavus (MIC ≥ 12 μg/mL), and Candida albicans (MIC ≥ 4 μg/mL), but is not effective against Cryptococcus neoformans and Blastoschizomyces capitatus[1].
Justicidin B also exhibits strong activity against the trypomastigote form of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (IC50 = 0.2 μg/mL) and moderate activity against Trypanosoma cruzi (IC500 = 2.6 μg/mL)[1].
Justicidin B shows cytotoxic activity and induction of apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer derived cell lines. The 24 h treatment of both cell lines increased the level of apoptotic DNA fragmentation. Exposure of MDA-MB-231 cells with Justicidin B leads to concentration dependent decrease in the expression of NFkB; whereas the treatment of MCF-7, is consistent with strong increase in the expression of this transcription factor[2].

* In solvent : -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (protect from light)
Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 12.5 mg/mL (34.31 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (protect from light). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

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: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (3.43 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 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.
Please enter the basic information of animal experiments:

3. Then add μL Tween 80, mix evenly;
4. Then add μL
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
