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

In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, the treatment of 12 μM or 20 μM berberine combined with 25 μM resveratrol shows more significant inhibition of lipid accumulation compared with individual compounds. The combination of this compound with resveratrol significantly increases the low-density-lipoprotein receptor expression in HepG2 cells to a level about one-fold higher in comparison to individual compounds.

In vivo

The combination of Berberine and resveratrol exerts a significant enhanced effect on lipid-lowering in hyperlipidemic mice and intracellular lipid accumulation-decreasing in adipocytes as compared to individual agent alone, which is closely associated with SIRT1 and LDLR.
