SDS COA Handling Instructions

Glaucine (O,O-Dimethylisoboldine) is an alkaloid extracted from Glaucium flavum that possesses various activities, including cough relief, bronchodilation, anti-inflammatory effects, analgesia, antipyretic properties, and anticancer effects. Glaucine acts as a selective and orally active inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), with a Ki of 3.4 µM in human bronchial tissues and polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Glaucine induces relaxation of human isolated bronchi by antagonizing calcium channels. Additionally, Glaucine inhibits the activation of NF-κB, leading to a reduction in the expression of the MMP-9 gene, thereby suppressing the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. Therefore, Glaucine holds potential for research in asthma and breast cancer.

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.03 mM); Clear solution

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.
