In Vitro

Ilimaquinone induces a concentration-dependent anti-proliferative effect in several types of cancer cell lines, including prostate cancer PC-3 and LNCaP, non-small cell lung cancer A549 and hepatocellular carcinoma Hep3B cells. Ilimaquinone (0.3-30 μM ; 48 hours) inhibits the proliferation of PC-3 cells, DU145, LNCaP, MG63, A549, Hep3B cells with GI₅₀s of 2.6 μM, 5.8, 4.6, 4.9, 4.1, 12.0μM, respectively^[1].

Cell Viability Assay^[1]

Cell Line:

Prostate cancer PC-3 cells
Concentration:

0.3, 1, 3, 10, and 30 μM
Incubation Time:

48 hours
Result:

Inhibited the proliferation of PC-3 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.

In Vivo

Ilimaquinone exhibits terminal elimination half-lives (T_1/2=1.2±0.3 h) due to high plasma clearance (2.95±0.53 L/h/kg) following oral administration (10 mg/kg) in male Sprague-Dawley rats^[2].

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
