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

Targets/IC50/Ki
Androgen Receptor [1]
In vitro
DIM is a potent radioprotector and mitigator that functions by stimulating an ATM-driven DDR-like response and NF-κB survival signaling. This compound can inhibit invasion, angiogenesis, and proliferation and induce apoptosis in tumor cells by modulating signaling pathways involving AKT, NF-κB, and FOXO3. It can also inhibit estrogen-inducible gene expression and cause an endoplasmic reticulum stress response. This chemical alters estrogen metabolism by shifting metabolism from carcinogenic 16α-hydroxy to inert 2-hydroxy derivatives, and it antagonizes estrogen and androgen receptor activity[1].
In vivo
Preliminary studies show this compound is most effective against total body irradiation (TBI) when given in multiple once-daily doses. Treatment of DIM has radioprotection and mitigation properties in vivo. This chemical activates ATM in normal tissues. It can be given to mice (250 mg/kg) by oral gavage, with no acute toxicity and excellent bioavailability[1].
