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
Hydroxytyrosol decreases the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in MCF10A cells but not in MCF7 or MDA-MB-231 cells. This compound prevents oxidative DNA damage in the three breast cell lines: MCF10A, MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 cells. It is a potent antioxidant because of its marked antioxidant activity, its ability to scavenge oxygen and nitrogen free radicals, to inhibit Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation, platelet aggregation and endothelial cell activation and its protection against DNA damage. It is able to reduce the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 blocking the transcription of COX-2 and 5-lipooxygenase, thereby reducing the chronic influence associated with diseases such as cancer.
In vivo
HT administration protects against hepatic I/R injury, as indicated by the decreased levels of serum aminotransferase and less parenchymal necrosis and apoptosis. Serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, macrophage inflammatory protein 2, as well as reactive oxygen species (ROS) content in liver tissues, are all decreased by this compound.
