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

As a TRPV-1 agonist, Capsaicin (Vanilloid) dose-dependently inhibits the proliferation of the HCC cell lines PLC/PRF/7, HuH7 and HepG2, which is not effected by TRPV1 channel blockers. Combining it and sorafenib significantly enhances the suppression on cell proliferation, achieving a high-level synergistic effect and promoting HCC cell apoptosis through the enhancement of p-ERK and reduction of p-STAT3 signaling.[1]

In vivo

Combining capsaicin (vanilloid) and sorafenib enhances inhibition of xenograft tumor growth in nude mice, with no apparent gross toxicity.[1]
