β-elemonic acid (1, 3, 10, 20 μM; 24 hours) strongly induces human A549 lung cancer cell apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner[1].
β-elemonic acid (1, 3, 10, 20 μM; 24 hours) exerts potent cytotoxic effects on human NSCLC A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 value following a 24-h exposure to β-elemonic acid was 6.92 μM[1].
β-elemonic acid (20 μM; 24 hours) results in a cell percentage of 58.01% in the G0/G1 phase[1].
β-elemonic acid (1, 3, 10, 20 μM; 24 hours) inhibits phosphorylation of p42/44, MAPK/JNK and p38 in the A549 cells[1].

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.
Please enter the basic information of animal experiments:
