Background

Falcarindiol, an orally active polyacetylenic oxylipin, activates PPARγ and increases the expression of the cholesterol transporter ABCA1 in cells. Falcarindiol induces apoptosis and autophagy. Falcarindiol has anti-inflammatory, antifungal, anticancer and antidiabetic properties[1][2].

Falcarindiol (3, 6, 12, 24 µM; for 24 hours) significantly decreases cell viability of MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells. Cell viability of MCF-10A cells is unchanged until the dose of Falcarindiol reaches to 24 uM. Falcarindiol preferentially induces cell death in breast cancer cells[1]. Falcarindiol (6 uM; for 2 hours) induces autophagy and causes significant level of LC3-I converted to LC3-II in MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468 and SKBR3 cells[1]. Falcarindiol (6 uM; for 2, 4, 8, 24 hours) increases the level of GRP78 in MDA-MB-231 cells in dose- and time-dependent manner[1]. Falcarindiol (1-20 µM) has no effect on hMSCs and HT-29 cell viability. Falcarindiol with only concentrations above 50 µM exhibits a toxic effect on the cells[2]. Falcarindiol (5 µM; 10 min, 1 h and 24 h) causes a significant upregulation on PPARγ2 expression at 24 h[2].

Falcarindiol (7 µg/g; diet) increases ABCA1 expression in neoplastic tissue in five weeks old male rats[2].

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.
