Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Pristimerin is a naturally occurring triterpenoid that acts as a reversible inhibitor of monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) with an IC50 of. Inhibition of MGL impairs endocannabinoid degradation and elevates 2-arachidonoylglycerol levels. Pristimerin also suppresses cell proliferation across various cancer types, including breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers, by inducing apoptosis and suppressing survival signaling pathways. [1]

Solubility

Batch:
All in vitro solubility values are batch-tested experimental data (non-literature values).
Solvent Solubility & Note
DMSO 12 mg/mL (25.82 mM)
(Moisture-contaminated DMSO may reduce solubility. Use fresh, anhydrous DMSO. The recommended stock concentration is 10 mM in DMSO.)
FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
