Product Description
Marein has neuro-protective (neuro-protection) effects by reducing damage to mitochondrial function and activation of the AMPK signaling pathway. Marein improves high glucose-induced insulin resistance in HepG2 cells by promoting glucose uptake via CaMKK/AMPK/GLUT1, increasing glycogen synthesis via IRS/Akt/GSK-3β, and reducing gluconeogenesis via Akt/FoxO1. Marein is an HDAC inhibitor (antagonist) with IC50 of 100 µM. Marein has beneficial antioxidant, anti-hypertensive (blood pressure lowering), hypolipidemic and antidiabetic effects.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
With IC50 values of 100 and >200 µM, respectively, marein (0-1000 µM; 24 h) suppresses TNFα-induced NF-κB activation as well as HDAC activity [1]. In HepG2 cells, marein (1.25–40 μM; 24 hours) increases the absorption of glucose [2]. Marein (5–10 μM; 24 hours) elevates the amount of liver glycogen, decreases the expression of G6Pase and PEPCK in HepG2 cells, and facilitates the transfer of GLUT1 from intercellular vesicles to the plasma membrane [2]. Marein (5–10 μM; 24 hours) increases the absorption of 2-NBDG and is inhibited by STO-609 and Compound C, an AMPK inhibitor [2]. In PC12 cells, marein (0–40 μM; 24 hours) alters the cytotoxicity of MG [3].

Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~25 mg/mL (~55.51 mM)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.2203 mL 11.1015 mL 22.2030 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
