Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Daphnetin is a natural coumarin derivative and protein kinase inhibitor that suppresses EGFR (IC50 = 7.67 μM), PKA (IC50 = 9.33 μM), and PKC (IC50 = 25.01 μM). By inhibiting these protein kinases, daphnetin modulates downstream cellular signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation and survival. In addition to its protein kinase inhibitory effects, daphnetin exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
