Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
8-Epixanthatin is a light-induced growth inhibitor that regulates the phototropic curvature in sunflower hypocotyls [1]. 8-Epixanthatin inhibits auxin-induced growth of sunflower hypocotyl and oat coleoptile sections as well as the elongation of cress roots [2]. 8-Epixanthatin can be used as an internal reference to develop HPLC–UV or HPLC-MS/MS measurements for the examination of related compounds in plants[3].
In vitro, 8-Epixanthatin treatment for 12 hours significantly reduced the level of p-STAT3-Y705 in DU145 cells, with an IC50 value of 3.2μM[4].
In vivo, 8-Epixanthatin treatment via intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 50mg/kg, 5 times a week for 25 days, significantly inhibited tumor growth in the DU145 mouse xenograft model without affecting body weight[4].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | DU145 cells |
Preparation Method | DU145 cells were grown in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100U/ml penicillin, and 0.1mg/ml streptomycin in 5% CO2 at 37°C. 5×103 DU145 cells/ml were seeded into 96-well microplates for 24h. The wells were replenished with fresh complete medium containing different concentrations of 8-Epixanthatin (0, 2, 5, 10, and 20µM) or 0.1% DMSO for 24h. Then, the cell viability was detected. |
Reaction Conditions | 0, 2, 5, 10, and 20µM; 24h |
Applications | 8-Epixanthatin treatment significantly reduced the cell viability of DU145 cells in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [1]: | |
Animal models | Female BALB/c mice |
Preparation Method | Female BALB/c mice (6 weeks old) were kept in temperature-controlled (21°C-25°C) and humidity-maintained (40%-70%) rooms with a 12-h light/dark cycle. Water and food were provided freely. DU145 cells (9×106 cells/mouse) were subcutaneously injected into the right flank of mice. Tumor growth was measured with calipers using the formula volume=1/2 (length×width×height). Vehicle and 8-Epixanthatin (50mg/kg) were intraperitoneally injected 5 days per week for 25 days starting on day 1 (the day after cell injection; six mice per group). On day 25, the mice were sacrificed, and the tumors were removed and weighed. |
Dosage form | 50mg/kg; 5 times a week for 25 days; i.p. |
Applications | 8-Epixanthatin treatment significantly inhibited tumor growth in the DU145 mouse xenograft model. |

| General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |
