In vivo batch selection In vivo Batch:
Homogeneous suspension	CMC-NA	≥5mg/ml	Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 5 mg of this product to 1 ml of CMC-Na solution, mix evenly to obtain a homogeneous suspension with a final concentration of 5 mg/ml.
Clear solution	5%DMSO 1 40%PEG300 2 5%Tween80 3 50%ddH2O Validated by Selleck labs. Should you need adjustments to this formulation, contact our sales team for custom testing.	2.200mg/ml (9.90mM)	Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 44 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results.

Mechanism of Action

In vitro	Flavone is found to reduce cell proliferation in HT-29 cells with an EC50 value of 54.8 ± 1.3 μm and to potently induce differentiation as well as apoptosis. The effects of flavone in HT-29 cells are associated with changed mRNA levels of cell-cycle- and apoptosis-related genes including cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), nuclear transcription factor κB (NF-κB), and bcl-XL. Moreover, flavone displays a high selectivity for the induction of apoptosis and of growth inhibition only in the transformed colonocytes.
In vivo	In vivo anti-tumor study indicates that flavone exhibits ability to inhibit tumor formation elicited by s.c. injection of COLO205 cells in nude mice. Apoptotic cells and an increase in p21, but not p53, protein are observed in tumor tissues derived from flavone-treated group. Flavone has been shown to accumulate in intestinal cells suggesting the potential application of flavone in treatment of colorectal carcinoma.
