In Vitro

HL-60 cells treated with Clofilium (0-20 μM; 24, 48, and 72 hours) lead to suppression of viability and proliferation in both time and concentration-dependent manners. Cell viability decreases significantly in HL-60 cells treated with 2.5 μM to 10 μM of Clofilium[1].
Clofilium (10 μM, 12 hours) induces the proteolytic cleavage of inactive procaspase-3, p34 into its active form, p17 and subsequent cleavage of its substrate PARP at 2 h after exposure to 10 mM Clofilium. However, there is no significant change in expression of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins[1].

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

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: HL-60 cells
Concentration: 0-20 μM
Incubation Time: 24, 48, and 72 hours
Result: Inhibited HL-60 cells with IC50s of 6.3 μM for 24 hours, 3.4 μM for 48 hours, 2.4 μM for 72 hours, respectively.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: HL-60 cells
Concentration: 10 μM
Incubation Time: 12 hours
Result: Induced proteolytic cleavage of caspase-3 and subsequent cleavage of its substrate, PARP, while Bcl-2 and Bax proteins were unaltered.

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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.08 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.08 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
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:  8 g/L NaCl solution

    Solubility: 2 mg/mL (3.92 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic

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.
