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

Cremophor EL is a widely used excipient. In the first 10 h, this compound at 5 mg/mL increases the impedance, then decreases it, and after 20 h of treatment, epithelial cell death is detected. This chemical in concentrations corresponding to clinical doses causes endothelial and epithelial toxicity. Both epithelial viability and monolayer integrity are seriously impaired at 10 to 50 mg/mL concentrations of this compound at 24-h treatment. It also enhances cell detachment.

In vivo

Cremophor EL-BB4 formulation-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) disseminated cancer in CT26-Luc mouse colon carcinoma model of intraperitoneal (IP) and significantly prolonged survival in mice when used along with white light.
