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
Kaempferide is able to induce apoptosis in the "side population" (SP, a subpopulation enriched with CSC in various cancers) cells in myeloma. It reverses the activity of drug efflux transporter[2]. This compound is non-toxic to normal fibroblasts while inducing morphological changes, membrane flip-flop and nuclear membrane damage, characteristic of apoptosis in HeLa cells. It is highly cytotoxic to cervical cancer cells. The cytotoxicity induced by this chemical is independent of cell cycle arrest[3].
In vivo
Kaempferide (Kae) remarkably improves cardiac function, alleviates myocardial injury via a decrease in myocardial enzyme levels, and attenuates myocardial infarct size in a dose-dependent manner. It attenuates I/R-induced myocardial injury through inhibition of the Nrf2 and cleaved caspase-3 signaling pathways via a PI3K/Akt/GSK 3β-dependent mechanism. Preconditioning treatment with this compound significantly decreases serum TNF-α, IL-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), MDA, and ROS levels, while increases serum levels of SOD. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and cleaved caspase-3 expression levels are downregulated, while phospho-Akt (p-Akt) and phospho-glycogen synthase kinase-3β (p-GSK-3β) expression levels are upregulated[1]. This chemical is non-toxic as assessed by acute and chronic toxicity studies in Swiss albino mice in vivo[3].
