M50054
Based on 1 Customer Validation
M50054 is a potent inhibitor of apoptosis. M50054 inhibits Etoposide-induced caspase-3 activation of U937 cells with an IC50 of 79 μg/mL. M50054 does not directly inhibit the enzymatic activity of caspase-3. M50054 can be used for the research anti-Fas-antibody-induced hepatitis and chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

Biological Activity
M50054 inhibits the caspase-3 activation by Etoposide in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 value of M50054 against Etoposide-induced caspase-3 activation of U937 cells is 79 μg/mL. However, M50054 does not directly inhibit the enzymatic activity of caspase-3 at all concentrations up to 1000 μg/mL[1].
M50054 (1-300 μg/mL) inhibits soluble human Fas ligand-induced cell death of human Fas-expressing WC8 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and the IC50 of 67 μg/mL[1].
M50054 (30-300 μg/mL) inhibits the death of U937 cells induced by etoposide (10 μg/mL) in a dose-dependent manner, and the IC50 value of M50054 against Etoposide-induced cell death of U937 cells is 130 μg/mL. The IC50 value of M50054 against etoposide-induced DNA fragmentation of U937 cells was 54 μg/mL[1].

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.58 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.58 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
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.
