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	Lycorine can inhibit protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells and acetylcholinesterase activity. This compound could effectively arrest the cell cycle at the G2/M phase and induce apoptosis in HL-60 cells. It is able to block the KM3 cell cycle at G0/G1 phase through the down-regulation of both cyclin D1 and CDK4^[2].
In vivo	Lycorine, when tested in the human leukemia xenograft models, appears to exhibit anti-tumor activity in vivo. It prolongs the mean survival time of SCID leukemia xenograft models. This compound could alleviate the infiltration of tumor cells into tissues^[2].
