In Vitro

Rottlerin (20 μM, 2/6/24 hours) dramatically decreases the cyclin D-1 mRNA levels in a time-dependent manner in primary HMVEC[2].
Rottlerin (20 μM) exhibits cell proliferation in HMVEC[2].

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

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: Primary HMVEC (Human Microvascular Endothelial Cell).
Concentration: 20 μM.
Incubation Time: 2, 6, 24 hours.
Result: Dramatically decreased the cyclin D-1 mRNA levels in a time-dependent manner. After 2 h of treatment, the mRNA level was reduced to 50% of the control, to circa 40% after 6 h, and to 20% after 24 h. Consistently, a similar trend was observed in the protein levels, where the decrease was circa 50% after 2 h, 80% after 6 h, and to almost undetectable levels after 24 h.

Cell Proliferation Assay[2]

Cell Line: Primary HMVEC (Human Microvascular Endothelial Cell).
Concentration: 20 μM.
Incubation Time: 24/48 hours.
Result: Exhibited a strong growth inhibition, with a reduction in thymidine incorporation respect to the control cells (DMSO 0.1%) of circa 75% and 80%, respectively.
In Vivo

Rottlerin (20 mg/kg, gavage 5 days per week, once daily, for 6 weeks) inhibits AsPC-1 pancreatic tumor growth in Balb C nude mice with no toxicity[3].
Rottlerin inhibits tumor cell proliferation, and induces apoptosis through activation of caspase-3 and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)[3].

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

Animal Model: Balb C nude mice (4-6 weeks old) with AsPC-1 cells (2×106 cells mixed with Matrigel, 50:50 ratio) injection[3].
Dosage: 0 or 20 mg/kg.
Administration: Gavage 5 days per week, once daily, for 6 weeks.
Result: Inhibited AsPC-1 pancreatic tumor growth in Balb C nude mice and had no effect on the body weight of AsPC-1 tumor-bearing mice.

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: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.42 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.42 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 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 DMSO stock solution (12.5 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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:  0.5% CMC-Na/saline water

    Solubility: 22 mg/mL (42.59 mM); Suspended 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.
