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.	3.35mg/ml (9.90mM)	Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 67 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.
Clear solution	5% DMSO 1 95% Corn oil Validated by Selleck labs. Should you need adjustments to this formulation, contact our sales team for custom testing.	0.47mg/ml (1.39mM)	Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 9.4 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results.

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	Licochalcone A markedly inhibits the in vitro growth of L. major amastigotes in human MDMs and U937 cells. This compound shows antibacterial effects against all gram-positive bacteria tested and especially against all Bacillus spp. Tested with MICs of 2 to 3 micrograms/mL. In CT-26 colon cancer cells, it reduces the cell viability and DNA synthesis. It also interferes with MAPK signaling cascades, initiates ROS generation, induces oxidative stress and consequently causes BGC cell apoptosis.
In vivo	In mice infected with L. major, licochalcone A (5 mg/kg, i.p.) completely prevents lesion development. In mice infected with L. donovani, this compound (150 mg/kg, p.o.) results in > 65 and 85% reductions of parasite loads in the liver and the spleen, respectively. In CT-26 cell-inoculated Balb/c mice, this chemical (1 mg/kg, p.o.) inhibits the tumor growth, and alleviates cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity.
