Description

Campesterol is a plant sterol with cholesterol lowering and anticarcinogenic effects.

IC50 & Target

Human Endogenous Metabolite

 

In Vitro

Campesterol shows a weak cytotoxicity in non-proliferating human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Within the non-cytotoxic concentration range, campesterol significantly inhibits the bFGF-induced proliferation and tube formation of HUVECs in a concentration-dependent manner, while it does not affect the motility of HUVECs. 50 μg/mL of campesterol decreases the cell viability up to about 56% of control(IC50 of over 50 μg/mL)[1].

In Vivo

Campesterol effectively disrupts the bFGF-induced neovascularization in chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) in vivo[1].

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% EtOH    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: 0.91 mg/mL (2.27 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 0.91 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (9.1 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% EtOH    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 0.91 mg/mL (2.27 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.91 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (9.1 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Cell Assay
[1]

The effect of campesterol on the viable cell number was assessed by XTT assay. HUVECs were treated with various concentrations (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 μg/mL) of campesterol and incubated at 37 °C in a humidified incubator for 24 h, a XTT working solution was added to each well. The cells were incubated at 37 °C for 2 h and the optical density was measured using a microplate reader at 450 nm[1].

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.
