Zinc acetate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Zinc acetate acts as an immune response modulator. Zinc acetate enhances the expression of HSP-70 mRNA. Zinc acetate restores the proliferation and cytokine production capacities of splenocytes. Zinc acetate reduces the Apoptosis level of splenocytes in endotoxemic mice. Zinc acetate increases plasma zinc levels and improves survival rates in mice with LPS-induced lethal endotoxemia. Zinc acetate induces rapid death of prostate cancer cell lines in vitro. Zinc acetate inhibits the growth of prostate cancer xenografts in SCID mice. Zinc acetate can be used in endotoxemia research.

Zinc acetate (100-800 μM; 0-24 h) induces rapid, dose-dependent cytotoxicity in PC3, DU145 and LNCaP prostate cancer cell lines (with approximately 80% cell death observed at concentrations of 300-400 μM within 18 h)[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Cell Line:PC3, DU145, LNCaP
-
Concentration:100-600 μM (18 h incubation); 400-800 μM (4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h incubation); 100 μM (prolonged incubation)
-
Incubation Time:18 h (100-600 μM); 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h (400-800 μM); prolonged (100 μM)
-
Result:Induced dose-dependent cytotoxicity across all three prostate cancer cell lines, independent of androgen sensitivity.
Killed ~80% of the cell population at 300-400 μM after 18 h incubation, with viability dropping to ≤10% at doses of 400 μM or higher.
Caused 50% cell death within 6 h, and greater than 95% cell death by 24 h across all cell lines at 400 μM.
Reduced the time to 50% cell death by approximately 90 minutes when dose was doubled to 800 μM.
Halted cellular proliferation (cytostatic effect) with no further cell death after 24 h under prolonged exposure to 100 μM.
Zinc acetate (3 mM; intratumoral injection; once every 48 hours; for 14 consecutive days) inhibits the growth of PC3 prostate cancer xenografts, improves the 8-week survival rate of mice, and causes no systemic tissue toxicity[2].

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: ≥ 5 mg/mL (27.25 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
