Product Description
Amentoflavone (Didemethyl-ginkgetin) is a potent and orally bioactive negative modulator of GABA(A). Amentoflavone also displays anti~inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, antitumor, antiradiation, and anti-bacterial effect. Amentoflavone causes apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in the sub-G1 phase.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In RAW 264.7 cells, amenoflavone (1-60 μM) suppresses the generation of nitric oxide in a concentration-dependent way [2]. U-87 MG cell viability is inhibited by amentoflavone (50-200 μM) with an IC50 value of 100 μM after 48 hours [3]. In the sub-G1 phase, amentoflavone (0, 50, and 100 μM; 48 hours) causes cell cycle arrest and apoptosis [3]. In U-87 MG cells, amentoflavone (0, 50, 100 μM; 48 h) suppresses NF-κB activation and lowers MCL1 and C-FLIP protein expression [3]. With minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 8, 4, 32, 8, 16, and 8 μg/ml, amentoflavone (0-32 μg/ml) exhibits antibacterial action against Enterococcus faecium ATCC 19434, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Streptococcus mutans ATCC 3065, and Escherichia coli. ml. They're E. O. 157 ATCC 25922, E. coli. Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Escherichia coli ATCC 43895 [4].
ln Vivo
Through its anti-inflammatory properties in mice, amentoflavone (25 mg/kg; oral; once daily for 3 days) has been demonstrated to be neuroprotective in epilepsy [1].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~125 mg/mL (~232.14 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.64 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: 2.5 mg/mL (4.64 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with ultrasonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

5 mM 0.3714 mL 1.8571 mL 3.7143 mL
10 mM 0.1857 mL 0.9286 mL 1.8571 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
