Product Description

Quercetagetin (6-Hydroxyquercetin) is a naturally occurring flavonoid and the major component isolated from Citrus unshiu (C. unshiu) peel, with anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity. It acts as an inhibitor of multple kinases such as pim-1 kinase with IC50 of 0.34 μM.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets

IC50: PIM1:0.34 μM; PIM2:3.45 μM; RSK2:2.82 μM; PKA:21.2 μM

ln Vitro
Quercetagetin inhibits PIM2, PKA, and RSK2 at IC50s of 3.45, 21.2, and 2.82 μM, respectively [2]. Quercetagetin (0.1, 1, 10, and 100 μM, 72 hours) inhibited the proliferation of RWPE2 prostate cancer cells with an average ED50 of 3.8 μM [2].
ln Vivo
Quercetagetin dramatically reduces the growth of UVB-induced skin cancer. When applied topically to mouse skin, Quercetagetin at concentrations of 4 or 20 nmol decreased tumor incidence by 32.0% and 46.7%, respectively [3].
Cell Assay
Cell Viability Assay[2]
Cell Types: RWPE2 prostate cancer cells
Tested Concentrations: 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 μM
Incubation Duration: 72 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Inhibited growth of RWPE2 prostate cancer cells with average ED50 is 3.8 μM.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: SKH-1 hairless mice model[3]
Doses: 4 or 20 nmol
Route of Administration: Topical application; 28 weeks
Experimental Results: Inhibited UVB-induced skin tumorigenesis in SKH-1 hairless mice models. Delayed the development of tumors and decreased tumor volumes in an SKH-1 hairless mice model.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~125 mg/mL (~392.79 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.54 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 20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.54 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 20.8 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.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 3.1423 mL 15.7114 mL 31.4228 mL
5 mM 0.6285 mL 3.1423 mL 6.2846 mL
10 mM 0.3142 mL 1.5711 mL 3.1423 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.

Reconstitution Calculator allows you to calculate the volume of solvent required to reconstitute your vial.

  • Enter the mass of the reagent and the desired reconstitution concentration as well as the correct units
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer appears in the Volume (to add to vial) box

Working concentration mg/mL;

Method for preparing DMSO stock solution mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation:Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O,mix and clarify.

(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
             (2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
