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

Targets/IC50/Ki
κ-opioid receptor [1]
In vitro
Matrine((+)-Matrine) is an alkaloid found in plants from the Sophora family, which has a variety of pharmacological effects, including anti-cancer effects, and action as a kappa opioid receptor agonist. Matrine significantly inhibites the growth of human non-small cell lung cancer A549 and hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells and induces apoptosis by strongly reducing the viability and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax protein in A549 cells. [1] matrine may stimulate the descending dynorphinergic neuron, resulting in the stimulation of kappa-opioid receptors (KORs) in the spinal cord, and this phenomenon in turn produces the antinociception in mice.
