Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Eupatilin is a natural lipophilic flavonoid isolated from Artemisia species that acts as a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) agonist. Activation of PPARα by eupatilin suppresses TNF-α-induced expression of cell adhesion molecules and attenuates NF-kB signaling, leading to downstream anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-apoptotic phenotypes in cellular models.

Solubility

Batch:
All in vitro solubility values are batch-tested experimental data (non-literature values).
Solvent Solubility & Note
DMSO 68 mg/mL (197.49 mM)
(Moisture-contaminated DMSO may reduce solubility. Use fresh, anhydrous DMSO. The recommended stock concentration is 10 mM in DMSO.)
FAQ
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).
