Description of Quassin

Quassin is a quassinoid that has been found in Q. amara and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3 It is active against chloroquine-sensitive and -resistant strains of P. falciparum (IC50 = 0.15 µM for both).1 Quassin has antifeedant and insecticidal activity against the diamondback moth (P. xylostella) when applied to dietary cabbage leaf discs at 16, 31.9, or 63.7 µg/cm2.2 It increases viability of SH-SY5Y cells in a model of hydrogen peroxide-induced neuronal injury when used at concentrations of 25, 50, or 100 µM.3

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.
