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	Ethosuximide(ETH) enhances hippocampal derived NSC proliferation and neurospheres formation in vitro. Low concentration of ETH induces proliferation of NSC, while higher concentrations of ETH are cytotoxic. Also, ETH activates the PI3K/Akt signal transduction pathway in adult hippocampal NSC in vitro. Blockade of the PI3K/Akt pathway inhibits ETH induced hippocampal NSC neuronal differentiation^[3].
In vivo	Anti-epileptic drug ethosuximide rescues the short lifespan and chemosensory defects exhibited by C. elegans null mutants of dnj-14, the worm orthologue of the DNAJC5 gene mutated in autosomal-dominant adult-onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. It also ameliorates the locomotion impairment and short lifespan of worms expressing a human Tau mutant that causes frontotemporal dementia^[1]. Ethosuximide extends lifespan by inhibiting the function of specific chemosensory neurons^[2]. It increases neurogenesis, reduces neurodegeneration, and reverses cognitive impairments in rat model of AD like phenotypes^[3].
