Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) is a semi-synthetic artemisinin derivative that functions as an antimalarial agent and antineoplastic compound. Dihydroartemisinin suppresses NF-κB activation, disrupting downstream cell survival and inflammatory signaling pathways. This inhibition leads to the stimulation of autophagy and induction of apoptotic cell death, ultimately suppressing cancer cell proliferation and impairing tumor growth across various cancer models.

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).
Pre-aliquoted for Longevity: Solid-state aliquots offer significantly longer shelf life compared to stock solutions, ensuring maximum stability for every use.
