Peptide R54 (100 nM; 16 h) acetate significantly inhibits CXCR4-dependent migration toward CXCL12 and CXCL11 in CAOV3, OVCAR8 and IGROV1 ovarian cancer cells[2].
Peptide R54 (100 nM; 24 h) acetate inhibits CXCR4-mediated mesenchymal transition by restoring the expression levels of EMT markers in CAOV3, OVCAR8 and IGROV1 ovarian cancer cells[2].
Peptide R54 (100 nM; 10 min) acetate inhibits CXCR4 downstream signaling pathways by reversing CXCL12-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2, AKT and p38, as well as reversing the upregulation of RAC1 in CAOV3, OVCAR8 and IGROV1 ovarian cancer cells[2].
Peptide R54 (100 nM; 24-72 h) acetate attenuates CXCL12-induced proliferation and sensitizes CAOV3, OVCAR8 and IGROV1 ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin and paclitaxel[2].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 100 mg/mL (Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
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; 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; 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.
