Product Description

Plitidepsin (dehydrodemnin B; aplidine; Aplidin) is a naturally occurring cyclic depsipeptide extracted from the marine tunicate Aplidium albicans with a broad spectrum of anticancer activities.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In MOLT-4 cells, plitidepsin (20 nM; 1 h) causes VEGF dependency [1]. In normal endothelial cells, which express VEGFR-1 but do not support VEGF, plitidepsin (20 nM; 1 h) does not significantly decrease VEGF-R1 mRNA [1]. SARS-CoV-2 is inhibited by plitidepsin, with an IC90 of 1.76 nM. Plitidepsin exhibits anti-SARS-CoV-2 action in hACE2-293T cells, with an IC90 of 0.88 nM. Plitidepsin suppresses SARS-CoV-2 replication in the established cell model of human lung cell samples, with an IC90 of 3.14 nM and a selectivity index of 40.4 [1].
ln Vivo
In BALB/c samples expressing human ACE2, plitidepsin (ip; 0.3 mg/kg or 1 mg/kg; 2 hours prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection) dramatically lowers SARS-CoV-2 infection. In comparison to the vector desert, the SARS-CoV-2 viral decrease in the lungs was almost two log units lower in the 0.3 mg/kg plitidepsin group and 1.5 log units lower in the 1 mg/kg group [2].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: balb/c (Bagg ALBino) mouse[2]. 1]
Doses: 0.3 mg/kg; 1 mg/kg Dosing: 1 mg/kg QD for 1 day; 0.3 mg/kg daily for 3 days
Experimental Results: Shown in vivo in SARS-CoV-2 infection mouse model Antiviral effect.

Shipping Condition

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~100 mg/mL (~90.1 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (2.25 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
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 (2.25 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (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 corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 0.9006 mL 4.5031 mL 9.0063 mL
5 mM 0.1801 mL 0.9006 mL 1.8013 mL
10 mM 0.0901 mL 0.4503 mL 0.9006 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
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
