Cephalotaxine is a naturally occurring alkaloid that serves as the core structural motif of Cephalotaxus esters and exhibits antineoplastic properties. It demonstrates cytotoxic activity against cancer cells by inhibiting cell proliferation and triggering apoptosis. Downstream phenotypes include the suppression of tumor cell growth and the induction of programmed cell death, highlighting its potential in cancer biology research.

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).
