Working concentration: mg/ml;

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
Escin is effective to inhibit pancreatic cancer cell proliferation as a single agent. However, this compound has minimal effect on normal rat skeletal muscle cells. It potentiates the proliferation-inhibiting and apoptosis-inducing effect of gemcitabine in both BxPC-3 and PANC-1 cell lines in vitro. It also down-regulates constitutive as well as gemcitabine-induced activation of NF-kB and its downstream gene products in pancreatic cancer cells in vitro[1].
In vivo
Escin augments therapeutic effect of gemcitabine in BxPC-3 xenografts in nude mice. They have significant synergistic effects on suppressing the growth of pancreatic tumors, inhibiting the proliferation and inducing apoptosis of tumors. This compound potentiates the inhibiting effect of gemcitabine on NF-kB and NF-kB-regulated gene products in BxPC-3 xenografts in nude mice[1].
