In Vitro

(S)-(-)-Perillyl alcohol exerts in vitro cytotoxic activity against human ovarian adenocarcinoma, colon carcinoma, and glioblastoma tumor cell lines[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Dietary (S)-(-)-Perillyl alcohol (POH) (0.5-1.0% dietary; ad libitum; daily for ~23 weeks) weakly promotes early esophageal tumorigenesis in N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine-treated male Fischer 344 rats, as shown by a significant increase in dysplastic lesions, while 1.0% (S)-(-)-Perillyl alcohol also causes a significant reduction in average tumor size without altering Ras membrane localization[1].
Dietary 1.0% (S)-(-)-Perillyl alcohol (POH) (1.0% dietary; ad libitum; daily for ~25 weeks) causes transient food aversion and reduced body weight gain but no esophageal tumors or gross abnormalities in healthy male Fischer 344 rats over 25 weeks[1].
(S)-(-)-Perillyl alcohol (100-200 mg/kg/day; i.p.; daily; 7 days) exhibits in vivo antitumor activity against Sarcoma 180 in Swiss mice, with tumor growth inhibition rates of 35.3% at 100 mg/kg/day and 45.4% at 200 mg/kg/day following 7 days of intraperitoneal administration[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Swiss mice (female, 25-30 g) injected with Sarcoma 18 cells[2]
Dosage: 100 mg/kg/day; 200 mg/kg/day
Administration: i.p.; daily; 7 days
Result: Reduced mean tumor mass to 0.76 g, corresponding to a tumor growth inhibition rate of 35.3% (100 mg/kg/day dose).
Reduced mean tumor mass to 0.70 g, corresponding to a tumor growth inhibition rate of 45.4% (200 mg/kg/day dose).
Induced statistically significant tumor mass reductions compared to the negative control group at both doses.

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

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (32.84 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (32.84 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.

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.
