Elaiophylin (also known as Azalomycin-B) shows antiprotozoal activity against Plasmodium falciparum K1a and Trypanosoma brucei brucei GUTat 3.1 strains with IC50 of 0.36 μM and 0.45 μM, respectively. Elaiophylin is a highly characteristic macrolide antibiotic that was first isolated from a culture of Streptomyces melanosporus. Elaiophylin demonstrates antifungal activity when combined with metabolite rapamycin (sc-3504). Elaiophylin shows shown cytotoxicity against mammalian tumor cells, protozoa, nematodes and antibacterial activity aganst gram-positive bacteria. The compound has also displayed immunosuppressive activity through inhibition of B-cell stimulation and inhibiting proliferation of lymphocytes stimulated by mitogens. Elaiophylin has been found to have antihelminthic to inhibit nitric oxide synthesis. Elaiophylin is an inhibitor of 5 α-Reductase and NOS.
ln Vitro |
Elaiophylin-mediated autophagy suppression and lysosomal dysfunction impair ovarian cancer cell survival during hypoxia. Exposure to Elaiophylin (0.025-0.5 μM; 24 hours) produces a considerable increase in ovarian cancer SKOV3 cell mortality in hypoxic conditions[1]. In both the SKOV3 and A2780 cell lines, Elaiophylin (0.25, 0.5, 0.75 μM; 24 hours) treatment leads to considerable activation of cleaved CASP9/caspase-9 and PARP1 and downregulation of BIRC5/survivin in a concentration-dependent manner[1].

ln Vivo |
therapy with 2 mg/kg Elaiophylin (given ip every 2 days for 21 days; in BALB/C athymic mice) effectively suppresses ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells growth compared with DMSO therapy, resulting in a 72% drop in the average daily tumor growth rate compared with DMSO treatment [1]. Lower dosages of Elaiophylin as a single agent exert strong anticancer efficacy, but greater levels lead to intestinal damage. Administration of a lower dose (2 mg/kg) of Elaiophylin as a single agent yields a considerable anticancer effect without toxicity in an orthotopic ovarian cancer model with metastases. Toxic responses are reported only in the 8 mg/kg group[1].

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
