Product Description

Didesmethylrocaglamide is one of three Aglaia species (Aglaia duperreana, A. oligophylla, and A. spectabilis) that naturally produce this rocaglamide type of 1H-cyclopenta[b]benzofuran lignans. Similar concentration ranges of the well-known anticancer medication vinblastine sulfate and didesmethylrocaglamide both inhibited cell growth. Didesmethylrocaglamide reduced the expression of AKT and ERK1/2, consistent with translation inhibition, while arresting MPNST cells at G2-M, increasing the sub-G1 population, inducing caspase and PARP cleavage, and elevating the levels of the DNA-damage response marker γH2A.X

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF4A)
ln Vitro
Didesmethylrocaglamide (5 nM and 10 nM; 72 hours; MPNST cells) treatment arrests MPNST cells at G2-M, increases the sub-G1 population, induces caspase and PARP cleavage, and elevates DNA-damage response marker γH2A.X levels while lowering the expression of AKT and ERK1/2[1].
Didesmethylrocaglamide causes cell cycle arrest at G2/M, which leads to cell death, and thereby reduces MPNST cell proliferation. 697-R cells treated with didesmethylrocaglamide display IC50 values that are remarkably similar to those of parental 697 cells (4 vs. 3nM, respectively)[1].
Didesmethylrocaglamide triggers apoptosis in MPNST cells with and without neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), possibly as a result of the DNA damage response. Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor is just one of the oncogenic kinases that are reduced in didesmethylrocaglamide-treated sarcoma cells[1].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~100 mg/mL (~209.4 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.24 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 (5.24 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in 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 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.

*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
