Product Description

Pristimerin (Celastrol-methylether; UNII-28ZK7PR57S) is a naturally occurring triterpenoid, acting as a reversible monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) inhibitor (IC50 = 93 nM) with antitumor activity. It induces caspase-dependent apoptosis by inhibiting the chymotrypsin-like activity of the proteasome.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Pristimerin has been shown to suppress the activity of both pure and non-purified MGL (transfected HeLa cell cell lysates) at an IC50 of 93±8 nM and 398±68 nM, respectively. Pristimerin works as a fast, reversible, and non-competitive inhibitor of MGL. By forming a polar contact with a regulating cysteine, perhaps Cys208, prismerin's binding to MGL may be enhanced[1]. Pristimerin has a dose- and time-dependent effect on the viability of HFLS-RA and HUVEC cells. Pristimerin lowers the autophosphorylation of VEGFR2 caused by VEGF and lessens the activation of the VEGFR2-mediated signaling pathway generated by VEGF [2].
ln Vivo
Tumor angiogenesis and inflammation are both inhibited by pramimerin. Pristimerin considerably lowers the expression of pro-angiogenic factors in sera, such as TNF-α, Ang-1, and MMP-9, and significantly reduces vessel density in the synovial membrane tissues of inflamed joints[2].
Cell Assay
HFLS-RA (5 × 103 cells/mL) or HUVECs (1 × 104 cells/well) are seeded in 96-well plates and cultured in normal growth medium for 24 h. The cells are then incubated with different Pristimerin concentrations (0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5 μM). The effects of Pristimerin on HUVECs viability are determined under VEGF-induced conditions. Cell viability is quantified by MTT assay. At 4 h before the end of the culture period, 30 μL of MTT solution (5.0 mg/mL) is added to each well. Cells without Pristimerin or VEGF served as a vehicle control[2].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMF : 25 mg/mL (~53.81 mM)
DMSO : ~20 mg/mL (~43.04 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2 mg/mL (4.30 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 20.0 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 2.1522 mL 10.7608 mL 21.5216 mL
5 mM 0.4304 mL 2.1522 mL 4.3043 mL
10 mM 0.2152 mL 1.0761 mL 2.1522 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
