-
Cell Line:Neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y, and glioblastoma 1242-MG
-
Concentration:0.25 nM
-
Incubation Time:96 hours
-
Result:Caused ~60% increase in the cell proliferation rate for SH-SY5Y cells treated with Dexamethasone.
Caused ~35% increase in cell proliferation rate for 1242-MG cells treated with Dexamethasone.
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:(PLP)-α-synuclein transgenic mice over 6 months of age[3]
-
Dosage:Low-(0.8 mg/kg b.w.) and high dose (2.5 mg/kg b. w.)
-
Administration:Administered subcutaneously every 24 h for a total period of 4 weeks (from day 1 till day 28 of the experiment).
-
Result:Low dose treatment did not show protective efficacy in striatum with number of neurons similar to placebo treated MSA mice. High dose was associated with about 15% rescue of DARPP-32 immunoreactive striatal neurons.
Low dose treatment had no effect on nigral neuronal loss, but high dose completely protected nigral neurons with numbers comparable to healthy controls.

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 (14.60 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 (14.60 mM); Clear solution
