Description of Cantharidic Acid (sodium salt)

Cantharidic acid, an inhibitor of protein phosphatases, is first isolated from Chinese blister beetles. Cantharidic acid is a hydrolysis product of cantharidin.

Protein phosphatases, account for virtually all of the phosphatase activity toward phosphoproteins, have been involved in controlling glycogen metabolism, glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis, cholesterol synthesis, and protein synthesis. Protein phosphatases participate in protein phosphorylation, a principal regulatory mechanism in the control of almost all cellular processes [2].

In vitro: Cantharidic acid exihibited inhibitory effects on the protein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A with IC50 values of 0.6 and 0.05 μM, respectively. Cantharidic acid showed no effect on the activity of PP2B or PP2C [1].

In vivo: Intraperitoneal administration of cantharidic acid (10 mg/kg) to mice for 45 min caused extreme liver enlargement and congestion. Treatment with cantharidic acid increased hepatic glycogenolysis, elevated blood glucose and hepatic glycogen phosphorylase levels, reduced hepatic glycogen content and glycogen synthase activity. Cantharidic acid endothal decreased microsomal Mg2+-ATPase levels [3].

%DMSO %

Calculation results:

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.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
