Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

In vitro
Puerarin (Kakonein), an isoflavones found in the root of Radix puerariae, is a 5-HT2C receptor and benzodiazepine site antagonist. This compound is employed clinically to treat cardiovascular diseases in China. Another study showed that this chemical also possessed anti-cancer properties. It at 25 μM dose-dependently reduces HT-29 cellular growth with an increase of bax and decreases of c-myc and bcl-2.
In vivo
In hypercholesterolmic diet plus administration of puerarin (300 mg/kg/day, p.o.) rats, this compound markedly attenuated the increased total cholesterol induced by hypercholesterolmic diet in both serum and liver. LD50: Mice 738mg/kg (i.v.)
